Hi there! So glad you found my page! My name is Sydney. You can call me Syd! I'm a pediatric occupational therapist looking to provide respite to parents of children with disabilities. I know that it can be challenging to find reliable, understanding, and knowledgeable date night sitters for your children and I’m here to help. I am experienced in supporting children with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, PDA, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. Looking forward to connecting. Disclaimer: If I currently provide occupational therapy services to your child, I cannot also provide child care. That would be considered a dual relationship and would violate OT professional ethics codes. Cancellation policy: If a family cancels with me with less than 24 hours notice, I do charge 50% of the agreed upon rate. By booking with me, you agree to these terms.
“Syd was great! She somehow even managed to get my kiddo to sleep!! Truly grateful 🖤”
I totally understand that finding reliable childcare can be challenging, and that's where I come in 😊 ✨ Hi, I'm Caelin! I'm coming back to UrbanSitter after a few years away. Corporate life (I was a Product Manager) kept me busy and traveling, so sitting took a backseat. I've recently been laid off, and while the job market does its thing, I'm so glad to be back doing work I genuinely love. The families I'm still with today? They originally found me right here on UrbanSitter. We've stayed connected through job changes, new babies, and cross-country moves. That kind of long-term trust isn't something I take lightly, and it's exactly what I hope to build with new families too. I've been doing this since I was 14. Through middle school, high school, all of college, and into my corporate career until work travel made consistent scheduling hard. Now in my 30s, I bring the same heart I always have, plus the patience and emotional maturity that only comes with decades of real experience. I've cared for kids newborn through preteen, traveled with families' children (including a Disneyland trip while parents relaxed at the hotel spa), and handled everything from morning school runs to late-night emergency coverage. My approach is rooted in Montessori and Waldorf philosophy. If you're a Bluey family, think of me as your real-life Calypso. The energy stays grounded so the creativity can go limitless. What I care about most: you actually unplugging. Not just physically leaving while mentally running your worry I prioritize open communication with parents to ensure that your child's needs and preferences are met while in my care. Safety is paramount, and I'm trained in CPR and first aid to provide peace of mind. I provide text and picture/video updates as frequently as you would like! My approach is all about fostering independence, building self-esteem, and promoting positive interactions! I'm here to engage in age-appropriate activities, encourage creativity, and ensure your child feels cherished every moment we spend together. I aim to ensure they feel loved and supported in my care. 🪻Learn more at carebycaelin.carrd.co
“We had Caelin over for an introduction / “interview” trial babysitting session to help ease our 2 year old daughter into our first non-family babysitter (& ourselves!). From the get-go, Caelin connected well with our typically cautious daughter by getting down to her level & engaging her with interest in her lovie & the new situation. She deemed her a good one! We only had Caelin over for two hours, which I was able to leave them alone wholeheartedly while making dinner (while overhearing giggles & constant conversation about their activities at hand, which shifted numerous times, but Caelin was a natural & pivoted with ease). I also was impressed by her knowledge of children’s behaviors & developmental stages (also sharing a mutual fascination of babies/children). We are so relieved that we found Caelin, who we plan on hopefully being our go-to family babysitter—I feel confident for the next “hangouts” with our daughter to be in great care & trust while we are out (which is saying a lot from this nervous first time mommy!). It’s a relief that we can finally get some toddler-free time thanks to her. Can’t recommend Caelin enough, but hope everyone doesn’t book her out before us from this review! ;)”
Hi, my name is Diana! I’m 30 years old and hold a bachelor’s degree in Educational Psychology. I’m currently working as an early preschool teacher, and I’m passionate about children’s development and the many ways they learn. I love exploring how kids think, feel, express themselves, and how to best support their growth. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children—as both a nanny and during my college years. I’ve also worked as a Spanish and English teacher, as well as with larger groups of children, so I feel confident creating engaging activities for all ages. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include crafts, painting, science experiments, puzzles, board games, and outdoor sports. I also enjoy helping with homework, teaching Spanish, encouraging positive behavior, and offering light household support. I’m fully vaccinated and certified in CPR, First Aid, and MERIT by Early Learning Professionals in Washington. I’d love to bring creativity, patience, and fun into your child’s day while making sure they feel safe and supported.
“Diana was our son's nanny for a year and she was the best! Always arrived on time, quick to learn our routine, knew what to do with little instruction, was a self-starter. We trusted our son with her and let her lead with which activities to do at home. She was pretty much the perfect nanny for us. We definitely recommend her.”
*looking for full time-part time regular positions for this summer starting July 1* Hello/hola! My name is Marilyn, I’m a 24 year old, bilingual (English/Spanish), student with over 6 years of childcare and senior care experience. I have 3 years of experience working for the YMCA as a before/after school instructor, summer camp counselor, and a early learning center floater. I have also nannied for three families and have been an on call babysitter for five others. I live in the Issaquah/Newcastle area and would love to find families to provide childcare for! I genuinely enjoy it and am working to have a bit of money while in nursing school at Bellevue College. I have many wonderful references and would love to chat if interested. Pay range negotiable and cash is preferred.
“Our kids really enjoyed having Marilyn spend time with them! She was on time, easy to talk too, and a great communicator. She also agreed to house sit and keep an eye on our dogs while we are away for a night.”
Hello! My name is Katie. I have been working as a full time nanny for the last 6 years, and babysat for several years prior as well. I have cared for kids aged 4 months to 10 years, and also helped as a household manager- scheduling appointments and running errands. Additionally, I have experience working in a Montessori school/daycare. I would love to chat more and see if I could be a good fit with your family!

"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."
