Booked by 3 families in Federal Way, WA

Hi families! I’m Dakaysia (Kaysia), I have one child (7 years old) and I’ve spent many years babysitting and caring for kids of all ages including handling multiple children at once. I’m a calm, patient person who genuinely enjoys being around kids and creating a fun, safe space for them. I also have personal experience caring for my autistic nephew, which has helped me learn how to be extra understanding, flexible, and supportive with different needs and personalities. I’m really good at reading the room, keeping routines smooth, and making sure every child feels comfortable and included. With my background in serving and bartending, I’m great at multitasking, staying organized, and keeping things running even when it’s a little hectic. Whether we’re doing crafts, homework, playing games, or winding down for bedtime, I show up with a positive attitude and a lot of patience. I’m reliable, easy to talk to, and always try to make things easier for parents. Whether you need occasional help or more regular support, I’d love to connect with your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your little ones! I have plenty of professional and personal references I can provide upon request.

Booked by 2 families in Federal Way, WA

I’m a current CNA who was licensed six years ago. I’m also a student in the RN program. Additionally, I’ve been working as a substitute Para Educator at schools from elementary to high school. Since the New Year of 2024, I’ve gained valuable experience and was promoted to an official unlicensed Behavioral Technician. Growing up in a family of seven, with myself being the second oldest, I had ample experience babysitting my siblings. I’ve also nannied for friends and family for quite some time now. I decided to give UrbanSitter a try because my job as a behavioral technician won’t be necessary during the summer when kids won’t be in school, and I’ll still be available as a substitute. Therefore, I’m happy to take on a few nanny jobs here and there. I believe that as I progress in my experience as a CNA and BT, this will also be beneficial for my growth.

“Our family loves working with Elina. She was very helpful and caring with our kids. She helped with playtime, cleanup, dinner, story time, brush teeth, bedtime, and just relaxing time. We are seeing her on a regular basis.”

Booked by 6 families in Federal Way, WA

Hello my name is Liana and I am a junior at the University of Puget Sound. I offer babysitting services for any age, pet sitting, and house sitting. My experience with kids includes being an assistant volleyball coach for middle schoolers, being an English tutor for a 5th grader, babysitting a 4 year old girl, and having a sister that is 10 years younger than me. In addition my experience for petting sitting + house sitting includes taking care of my cousins cat, dog, and house for 3 weeks. Some of the things that I value as a caregiver is being kind, communicative (with parents), engaging, patient, and having fun.
