Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m 29 with about 15 years of childcare experience spanning all ages. I’m a recent transplant to Seattle - originally from Chicago, but spent the last three years living on the Big Island of Hawaii. I usually work full time in marketing, but right now am on the hunt for my next role - which opens up my daytime availability for childcare! I’ve worked with countless families, from nannying for vacationing families in Hawaii to spending 5 years with a Chicago family as their several times a week babysitter. I love to read, travel, and hike - please let me know if you’d like to chat further!
“Easy going, playful and engaged effortlessly with my 6/4 year olds. Highly recommend. ”

Hello! I am a student in the honors program at the University of Washington in Seattle. I have my drivers license and I am a very responsible driver. I am very creative and I love reading, playing games, doing art, and singing with the kids I babysit for! I speak English and Spanish and I am learning Mandarin. I have two younger sisters who I love and I have experience babysitting children ages 6 months to 14 years old. I am good at problem solving and hope to create a safe and grounded environment for your children. I like to have fun and I have a lot of energy but I also love to be cozy and chill depending on the needs of every family. I love animals and I have experience dog sitting and cat sitting. Let me know if I sound like a good fit for 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."
