I am energetic, friendly, easy-going yet reliable and responsible. Love kids of all ages & they tend to love me. I have current extensive experience caring for children 0-12Y. I add value by being medically trained in pediatrics, being bilingual (English/Russian), engaging kids in fun learning via play and helping around the house (time permitting).

Booked by 1 family in Bellevue, WA

I spent my freshmen and Sophomore year (2[removed]) at college working with preschool English language learners. From 2015 to 2018 I worked at Green Tree Early Education center in Downtown Seattle. After graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Early Education, I went for a Masters in Computer Science from Northeastern University. During my corporate career, I worked EST which allowed me to be an afterschool nanny/manny starting during the pandemic. I have worked with 7 different families and my undergraduate education was focused on infants and toddlers. Most of my experience is in transitional care / mothers helper while the families are on a waitlist for childcare centers. However my most recent experience was as a nanny/manny for two boys with Autism Spectrum disorder. I have an outdated first aid and CPR certification but I am almost certain there has not been any significant changes since 2017. I am comfortable around pets

“Brian responded to my post looking for a last minute sitter for my 3 kids (11, 8, 4) when our regular sitter cancelled. He arrived 10 mins early to get settled, and immediately engaged with my 11 year old. He had a creative dinner idea for the kids, even got our 4yo to eat a lot, and I came home to happy kids who couldn’t wait to tell me about all the fun they had. He even got my 4yo to play with him, and she’s usually very hesitant towards new people. He followed her multi-step bedtime routine successfully too. Full disclosure: Brian is my coworker’s husband, so I knew and had met him before hiring him. After rave reviews from my kids, I will definitely be hiring him again.”

Booked by 25 families in Bellevue, WA

Hello! My name is Jessica. I’m 26 and have been a preschool teacher since 2022. I am currently available on occasional evenings or on the weekends. I enjoy following children’s interests, acting playful and silly, and being actively engaged in their play. I love being a part of children’s learning and development, and seeing them express their unique personality! I always strive to connect with each child and make them feel safe, loved, and valued. My favorite activities to do with children are arts and crafts, pretend play, outdoor play, reading, puzzles, board games, and playing hide and seek. I also have experience working with toddlers and elementary-aged kiddos — providing care, tutoring, and leading developmentally-appropriate activities. Through UrbanSitter, I have cared for children from 2-11 years old. You can always expect clear communication, safety and entertainment for your child, and respect of your house rules and expectations. Feel free to reach out, I’m excited to get to know you!
