Booked by 1 family in Seattle, WA

Hi - My name is Tracy and I reside in Bellevue, WA. I am offering child care, and household services. I am searching for something temporary or part-time due too my current enrollment at the Bellevue College. Working with children has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I spent over three years as a preschool teacher, managing my own classroom of approximately 10 children and creating a safe engaging, and nurturing environment for learning and growth. In addition to teaching, I have worked as a private nanny since I was 18 years old and have experience as a summer camp counselor. As the youngest of four siblings and an involved aunt, I've had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, from newborns to preteens. My childcare experience includes school and activity transportation, homework assistance and tutoring, meal preparation, bed time routines, and even working as a travel nanny. I am currently CPR certified and hold a valid Washington State Enhanced Drivers License, allowing me to safely transport children when needed. I also have a Washington State Food Handler's Permit and am trained in proper food safety and meal preparation practices. Beyond childcare, I have experience working as a household assistant and am happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, organization, grocery shopping, errands, and other household tasks that help keep a busy home running smoothly. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking or paddle boarding. My perfect day includes a good book, a picnic, and body of water to swim in. I am easy going, dependable, and believe in finding joy in life's small moments. I strive to bring patience, positivity, and reliability to every family I work with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help make your day-to-day life a little easier.

“Patient, kind, thoughtful and collaborative. My son took to her within 1 minute of meeting! Will definitely work with Tracy again!”

Booked by 4 families in Seattle, WA

Hi, my name is Kim. I’m a warm, kind-hearted, and caring person who loves spending time with children and sharing in their youthful, energetic spirit. I’m a reliable and responsible adult with good judgment and many years of experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children. I currently care for several families on a regular basis during the week. I am currently looking to connect with one more family in the Bellevue or Newcastle area. I’m self-motivated, highly organized, and also a great cook — happy to help with light meal prep if needed. I value working with families who see their nanny as part of the family, and I’m looking for a long-term position where I can build lasting bonds with the children. I have an inquisitive mind, a love of learning, and a genuine desire to help out wherever needed around the home. I’m easygoing, dependable, and always eager to lend a hand.

“Kim took care of my mother. First time worked out well. Used translator app.”

Abba 6 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child

Peace to you! My name is Abba. I grew up in Port Orchard, and have spent most of my adult life in Seattle. I enjoy being active and exploring my environment, which is what has always drawn me to child care! I most recently nannied a sweet and energetic 2 year old and had been working with the same family since October 2022. I’ve worked at kids camps, baby sat for years, and have 12 nieces and nephews whom I have often taken care of and helped raise. My favorite part about childcare is the excitement children often bring to any kind of activity, there is so much learning, exploring, and growing happening in our early years . As an adult its nice to be reminded of the everyday 'awes' of being a human! Not to mention, a privilege to take part in so many of someone’s “firsts”. I truly feel fulfilled in spending time and caring for children, and value mutual respect between kids and care-givers. I implement developmentally appropriate activities of all kinds into daily routines, to encourage habitual learning. I am an artist, which translates into fun crafts and sensory exploration activities for kids! I love the outdoors rain or shine and don’t mind facilitating activities that may be deemed “messy”. Additionally, I have a deep love of gardening and growing food, as well as participating in various forms of community. I value respect and care between myself and parents, as we are a team! I would love to chat and get to know you and your family, I also have a detailed resume I can share, I encourage you to reach out! Adult/Infant CPR & First Aid certified

“Abba was a full-time nanny four our daughter from age 1-3, and we were devastated when our daughter graduated onto preschool and Abba wasn't here every day anymore. I cannot recommend Abba enough - they're unbelievably caring, professional, easy-going, dynamic, communicative, and they always went above and beyond what was expected. You're lucky to get Abba as a sitter.”

"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."
