Hi! I'm Kimberly and currently live in Seattle. I have worked with kids for over 17 years and absolutely love it. I have been a babysitter, nanny, lead summer camp teacher, and a household manager. I have experience with all ages and am extremely reliable. I’m happy to also help with household tasks.

I have experience babysitting children ranging from 18 months up to 13 years, including kids with ADHD and ASD. I'm a pretty calm and easygoing guy, and always make an effort to engage with the kids I watch. I’m a pretty active person and like to get the kids outside when I can; bike rides, lava monster and soccer are frequent activities. While I personally enjoy physical activities, I'm always happy to take it easy and break out some table games or crafts for a quiet night in. I am comfortable with pets as well. P.S. I completed my bachelor's in March ’22, and am currently searching for work in the communications field.

James was amazing, my boys loved spending time with him!

Hi - My name is Anna and I am a preschool teacher for 3-5 year olds. As a parent, myself, I know what it's like to search for a babysitter. As a teacher, mom, and caregiver I love being with children. I have over 20 plus years of experience working kids, mostly 3-5 year olds. Presently I work at a special education preschool in a inclusive classroom where children of all abilities and backgrounds are present. I have been a caretaker for my family and try to help where I can. I am looking to make extra income this summer for our summer trips and am a great person for last minute sitter options. I am very flexible and can help with pretty much anything you need.

I love to engage with children in a safe, positive and joyful manner! Currently I work in a childcare nursery with kids generally between 6 months and 5 years old. I worked at a very busy childcare center in a health club for about 18 years, with children between ages 6 months and 12 years. I look forward to bringing my decades of childcare experience, enthusiasm and joy to my interactions with your child.

So kind trying to meet Sir Jingles! Would recommend Julie for anyone wanting a kind cat sitter!

"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."
