Hello UrbanSitter Families! I'm not the greatest at introductions but I promise I'm far better in-person with families and kids. Combined, I have now over 15 years of experience working with families. In fact, there has not really been a time where I have ever stopped working with families! I have professionally managed events, conferences, and weddings for a good chunk of my career before transitioning to academic research and law. Outside of this platform, I work privately in law, with content management, and coach public speaking. I took a break from UrbanSitter for several years for grad schools. Now, I mostly use UrbanSitter to help with occasional date night, wedding, and events request. Would love to work with you and your family!

Hey guys! My name is Laura, I'm 28 years old, I have a law degree from Brazil and I currently provide child and pet care in Seattle. In my home country, I worked with children aged 0 to 14 (several at the same time!) in a playground, as a monitor, and I also provided care for my younger sister for several years (she is currently 9 years old!) . In Seattle, I have extensive experience caring for infants (including twins!) and toddlers. In addition to changing diapers, offering bottles and healthy foods and lots of affection and love, I also have experience with food introduction, games for milestone development and simple sign languages for infant communication. I also love listening to music, entertaining and exercising the imagination of children of all ages! I am also available to clean areas related to children and I have good experience with this. Finally, I have lived with pets my entire life and can act as a sitter for them with all the affection and happiness that your pet deserves.
“Laura was wonderful with our 3 year old. He was having a very hard time with us leaving and she was calm, sweet, and handled it so well. She texted us soon after we left, letting us know that everything was going well. She was also on time and very communicative. We would love to work with her again soon!”

Hello! Since I used at work at a daycare and have been babysitting for over 10+ years, I have seen it all! I am able to handle sick kids, kids who have mental and physical disabilities, and anything most anything else that might happen while I babysit. I love dogs and cats (I have 2)! Also, I have my tutor certification and am fluent in Amharic. Please contact me if you have any questions! I look forward to working with you!
“Afomia is a great caregiver, she was wonderful to our 17 month old baby boy. She is professional and has a great sense of people and babies. We will definitely recommend Afomia to anyone who needs help.”

Hello Parents, I work full-time as a Program Manager and offer nanny services as a side job—something that brings me great joy. As a mother of two, I understand how important it is to provide children with nurturing care, patience, and gentle guidance. Spending time with kids is truly fulfilling for me. Their curiosity, laughter, and pure hearts are inspiring, and I cherish every moment I get to support their growth and well-being. It would be an honor to care for your little ones and support your family’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can best help. Warm regards, Mandana
“Mandana was wonderful with our 18 month old and 4 year old! Very nurturing, warm, kind, and creative with play! They warmed up to her immediately! By the time she left it was as though the kids seemed like they knew her forever Would absolutely recommend and have her back as much as we need!”

"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."
