Hi, my name is Katie. I’m 25 years old and grew up in a family of 16 from the same parents. As the 6th oldest, I’ve been babysitting and caring for younger siblings for most of my life as well as my 9 nieces and nephews. I grew up in Vancouver, Washington until 2020, when my family moved to Florida. 2 months ago I decided to move back to Vancouver and live with my sister for the church, community, and friendships.

Hi- My names Mai. I came back from teaching in Tokyo 4 years ago now. I've been working with kids from around 14 which is when I started babysitting and teaching abacus. I've been teaching abacus both in person and online for the past 10+ years but it's fun to watch kids outside an educational environment. I'm fluent in Japanese and English and am always down for outdoor adventures like swimming, biking, berry picking, or just going to the park. But I can always enjoy a good book or movie. I work 8-5 as a PM during the weekday but I’m free outside of those hours if you have a concert or date night. Hopefully, I'm able to offer some assistance to you outside of these hours. you for your understanding and reading this far!

“Mai was amazing with our daughter! She showed up on time, communicated well throughout, and had a very calming presence. Our daughter really enjoyed the time with her and my wife and I felt at ease while we were out. Would definitely recommend!”

Sophie $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophie, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 5 years of paid experience in both babysitting and dog sitting. I’m currently in nursing school, which has strengthened my attention to safety, communication, and caring for others. I’m CPR certified and always prioritize creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for the children I care for. I truly love working with kids and enjoy engaging with them through play, creativity, and everyday routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs and personality. I also come from a big dog household. I have three dogs of my own of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable around pets and happy to help in homes with animals. I have my own reliable car and do not smoke or use any substances, ensuring dependable transportation and a healthy, safe environment for the families I work with. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained, helping with routines, or simply being someone children feel comfortable around, I take pride in being a caregiver families can trust and rely on

Booked by 1 family in Ridgefield, WA

I'd describe my personality as caring , intelligent , responsible I like working with kids not only because I love them , but also because I believe that we have a lot of things we can learn from each other. I do strive to provide them a warm supportive healthy environment where children can not only feel safe and loved, but also feel valued and deeply encouraged to learn , grow and become more and more confident. I'm looking for a job that gives me the chance to interact with people(especially kids) , help them (my love language is acts of help). I started working with kids when I was really young In my spare time, I like to play violin and piano , read, study (because I'm also a med student ) , read books , go hiking . One thing you should know about me is that I'm a trustworthy, experienced, patient and a kind and compassionate person My skills include responsibility , love and kindness

“Camelia helped us out last minute when our nanny was out sick. She was on time, communicative, and our daughter had a blast with her all day. Will definitely book again!”

Anna $25 per hour for 1 child

With over 20 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-age kids. I have years of experience with twins and have a knack for keeping routines running smoothly while making sure each child feels seen and loved. I'm patient, dependable, and safety minded, and I bring warmth, creativity, and fun to every day, whether it's feeding and nap schedules, play based learning, homework help, or after school activities. I communicate openly with parents and treat every child as if they were my own. I'd love to hear about your family's needs and see how I can help!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
