Hi! My name is Arahmy. I’m a medical school graduate currently studying for my medical boards before applying to residency, and I’m looking to offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support. I’m a patient, responsible, and loving caregiver who genuinely enjoys playing with kids and supporting families. While my years of experience have been caring for older adults, I also have some babysitting experience, though it has been on and off over the past few years. I’m happy to help with homework, activities, errands, and household tasks like cleaning and meal prepping. For those only looking for a household helper I would also be willing to help with any household tasks to make your week go smoother. I am bilingual in Spanish and also love pets—I can help take care of them, including walks, feeding, and playtime. My goal is to provide reliable, safe, and nurturing care while making life a little easier for the families I work with.
Hello, i'm Nick. I am kind, caring, and responsible, and experienced working with kids in both small and large groups. I am a certified OJJDP mentor, and experienced as a tutor. I also have experience in running high yield learning activities, and in building and running programs and activities as a youth development professional. I am also familiar with safe food handling procedures, and have been trained as a cook, capable of preparing healthy and delicious meals that can satisfy even restricted diets. Great with cats.
Mother of 3 (4th, 7th, and 10th grades). I speak Spanish and German fluently, have a graduate degree, and would be happy to teach your kids! I am passionate about early learning and development and would also enjoy helping with the management of household activities. Ideally looking for any combination of weekday hours for about 10-15 hours a week (anytime between 8:45AM-3:30PM works great). I have pediatric and adult CPR and first aid training certification, food handlers permit, and a WA state portable background check. I have a 2023 Honda Odyssey minivan. I have experience caring for elderly family members, including dementia.
Hello my name is Karla! I am 23 and I have a certificate in Early childhood education and about 5 years working with school age children and toddlers. I have one year of infant experience as well with my daughter who just turned one! I love to help others and and would love to help you out with whatever needs you have :)
Hi, my name is Valentina and I have been caring for children since I was 17, with about five years of experience. I have worked with babies, toddlers, and children up to 10 years old, including experience in daycare settings. I love planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, music, reading time, and playing at the park to support each child’s development in a fun and creative way. As a person, I am very calm, respectful, and patient, and I believe in teaching children healthy habits through daily routines and example. I care for every child with love, respect, and a strong sense of responsibility, always prioritizing their safety and emotional well-being. I am also comfortable helping with light housekeeping and keeping the children’s spaces organized and tidy.

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
