Hello Families! My name is Talles, and I’m 28 years old with a college degree. I live and work in Bellevue, WA. My work hours are from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, so I’m available for babysitting in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’m a non-smoker, pet-friendly, and fully vaccinated for your peace of mind. I’m known for being calm, observant, independent, and enthusiastic. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love engaging them through cooking, arts and crafts, nature walks, and helping them find compatible friends and playdates. My Experience: Infants (0 to 2 years): This is the age group I’ve been working with the most recently! I’ve gained solid experience babysitting infants and have also worked as a nanny before starting my current job. I have excellent references available upon request. Toddlers and Older Children (3+ years): • I was a nanny for a toddler until he turned 6 years old. • I also worked as a camp counselor last summer for 3 months, taking care of kids aged 4 to 13 in different age groups. This included everything from morning routines to bedtime — a truly rewarding experience that taught me a lot! • At camp, I completed CPR/First Aid (Red Cross certified) and lifeguard training. I’m ideally looking for babysitting jobs after work hours and for date nights. I would love the opportunity to support your family — please feel free to reach out!
Hiya! My name's Brett. I'm a childcare worker and teacher with seven years of professional experience. I currently work as an elementary school tutor in North Seattle. I've previously worked as a behavioral interventionist, student mentor, and summer camp counselor. My life's passion is bringing happiness to children, encouraging their learning and creativity, and just having fun! My childcare approach is based on empathy, responsibility, and compassion. When children are treated with respect and held accountable for their actions, it teaches them to be responsible, independent, and have a strong sense of self-worth. Outside of childcare, I love writing (fiction and poetry), drawing, reading, video games, and spending time in the outdoors. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and trained in various health and safety procedures. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
I was born in Vermont as the oldest of five children. I have lived in Seattle for almost 20 years and I am the mom of two. My day job is as a Physician Assistant. I love kids of all ages and as a working mom I’m very familiar with how difficult the process of finding childcare providers can be. I am grateful for the opportunity to provide your family reliable and nurturing care that comes from a lifetime of experience.
Hello! My name is Melissa, and I am a caring, responsible, and dedicated nanny with experience providing childcare for children of different ages, especially toddlers and young children. I currently work as a nanny, supporting children's daily routines, preparing meals, organizing creative and educational activities, and creating a safe and positive environment for their development. I enjoy helping children learn through play, exploring their interests, and building a trusting relationship with them. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each child's individual needs. I understand the importance of communication and trust with families, and I always strive to provide high-quality care while making children feel comfortable, happy, and supported.
Hi there! My name is Ellie. I’m 28 years old and I’m from Southern Oregon. I have 8+ years of experience working with kids. I am an elementary school ESL teacher with my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and Master’s in Teaching. I have worked with several families over the years, one of which I was with for 5 years back in Oregon. I have babysat a wide range of ages, from infants to middle schoolers. Additionally, I have experience tutoring elementary students, pet/house sitting, and 5 years of experience working in the classroom. I absolutely love working with kids and animals. My partner and I recently moved to Magnolia. I will be teaching elementary during the weekdays, but I would love part time nannying work outside of my weekday work hours (8am-4pm). Please contact me with any questions. I would love to hear from you!

"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
