Child Care I have experience working with children of various ages, from toddlers to early teens. I enjoy hands on, engaging activities like arts and crafts, baking, reading time, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I’m patient, energetic, and great at keeping kids entertained while also maintaining structure. I’m comfortable helping with school pick-ups, meal prep, bedtime routines, or light tutoring as needed. Pet Care I’ve worked with small to medium breeds. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime. Whether your pet needs high-energy outdoor time or just loving companionship, I’m happy to accommodate. Household Services I offer a variety of home assistance such as cleaning, organizing, meal prep, laundry, running errands, and general tidying. I take pride in being detail-oriented and making sure things not only look neat, but feel peaceful and functional. I am adaptable to whatever systems or routines you prefer in your home. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and easy to work with, I’d love to help! Let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to make your life a little easier. I am certified in CPR
Hi! My name is Banna. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 years old working as an assistant Sunday school teacher. I have worked with children from ages 1 to 15 years old for the past 12 years. I just graduated from law school in May and enjoy working out, swimming and cooking.
My name is Alejandra ,In my previous roles as a nanny and childcare provider, I’ve supported families with daily routines, homework help, creative play, meal preparation, and light household organization. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and quick to adapt to each child’s individual personality and needs. Safety and communication are my top priorities — I always aim to make children feel secure, encouraged, and valued. I am certified in [CPR/First Aid if applicable] and can provide trustworthy references upon request. I’d love the opportunity to bring my enthusiasm, organization, and genuine love of working with children to your family. . I look forward to the possibility of speaking with you and learning more about your childcare needs. I am great with dogs .
I began babysitting in high school for a 10 month old and a 6 year old which laid a strong foundation for childcare. In college, I babysat for several school aged children and most recently worked as a chauffeur for two middle school boys, handling school drop-off and pick-up. I also help care for my nephew & younger cousins who are 6-9 years old. I have over 10 years of experience house sitting and dog sitting, which I currently do most often. Additionally, I assist an elderly woman with dementia by transporting her from her memory care home to medical appointments. I am a full time medical student at Bastyr University and am reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and personable. I love working with kids and enjoy supporting families while building community!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
