Hi, I'm Victoria! I'm a mom to a 9-month-old son and have worked for a family helping care for their kids (now ages 3 and 5), whom I've helped care for since they were born. I've been the trusted go-to sitter in my circle for years. I babysat regularly throughout my twenties, all based on word of mouth to friends and new clients alike. I'm most in my element with newborns through age two, and happily watch children up to age 11. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs. I'd like to learn about your expectations and routines in your child's life. I'm CPR and first-aid certified, and I am up to date with all vaccines include 2026 flu and Covid boosters. If you are looking for weekday care, I would bring my son with me - a built in companion for your child! I'm available without him on evenings and weekends. I'd love to chat about what your family needs! I'd love to chat about what your family needs and see if we’re a good match!
“Victoria was wonderful! She was on time, not at all phased by my kids dropping f bombs and jumping up and down on the kitchen table before I left 🤪 she was easy to communicate with while I was out and my kids had a great time. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for future needs. ”
Hi! My name is Melinda and I have been babysitting for more than a year and a half. I am entering my freshman year at UW Bothell and I offer childcare. I also work at a summer camp during the summer in my local neighborhood. I work well with kids and know how to lead games and how to entertain them. I am also CPR certified from the training I went through to work at the summer camp. I communicate well and make sure that the kids are safe. I have my license as well and can help with watching kids after practices or extra curriculars. Please feel free to reach out if a babysitter is needed!
I have been a nanny for infants and toddlers for the past 3 years. Before this time, I worked as teacher's aide, after-school program teacher and administrative assistant. I have an Early Childcare Certificate, a current First Aid/CPR Certificate for Infants - Adults, Teaching English to Students of Other Languages (TESOL) Certificate, and Public Information degree. I care deeply about forming a strong bond with the children I care for and love introducing them to various experiences that build their awareness of themselves, others and the world around them. In addition, I believe in offering gentle guidance to children in a respectful, kind, instructive and even fun way. During my time with children, I do activities and engage with them in a way that sparks their curiosity, builds their knowledge and skills, follows their interests, helps them learn age-appropriate socio-emotional and communication skills. Based on several factors, I may use redirection, modeling what I want them to do or say, several reminders to reinforce behavior expectations such as washing hands after outside play and before meals, offering "first this, then that" or a choice of what to do first when both activities are required, advanced notice before transitioning to something else, and other age-appropriate caregiving practices. As a strong empath, I want to use my innate ability to connect with children (and all people) in a way that helps them feel understood, valued, worthy of kindness and attention, great for who they are JUST AS THEY ARE, and safe. I've found that I can't nurture children as deeply as I'd like and, in the case of very young children, to the degree I feel they need as they learn about themselves, others and their world.
I am married, a mother of four. A God fearing woman who is friendly and loves children, pets and seniors. I have a deep understanding and patience rooted in my values. I am currently working as Pre-k Teachers Assistant (4 years plus) in Shoreline School and as of now working in summer camp ages 3-12 years old. I preferred working close by my neighbor in Shoreline. I don't drive but can do public transportation or my husband can drive me to and from work.
Hello! My name is Jennifer, I am 24 years old and currently living in Bothell. I truly enjoy spending time with children, as I find in them a sense of adventure and curiosity that I continue to carry within myself. I offer occasional childcare during weekends and weekday evenings and have experience caring for children from 4 months old up to 14 years old; I am infant qualified and have accumulated over 2,500 hours of hands-on childcare experience. My background includes working as a children’s swimming instructor, nanny, arts and crafts facilitator, and summer camp teacher. I am a confident driver, a strong swimmer, and I am CPR certified. I genuinely enjoy engaging children in meaningful and fun activities such as visiting playgrounds, having picnics, playing board games and miming games, and even introducing them to Spanish in a natural and playful way.

"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."
