Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on a neurology floor, and I’ve been caring for kids since 2018. I started babysitting back in high school and have worked with children of all ages: from newborns to teens. I’m currently in nursing school, so I take babysitting jobs for date nights and occasional needs. I’m CPR and Basic Life Support certified, calm under pressure, and experienced with medical situations. I’ve worked with infants as young as two weeks, toddlers, school-age kids, pre-teens, and children on the autism spectrum. I love creating a safe, happy, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and parents can fully relax. A little about me personally: I’m married to my amazing husband, and we have a sweet cat named Oscar. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going outside for walks, cooking simple kid-friendly meals, and helping with homework. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable with pets. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with; many families describe me as warm, dependable, and great with kids. Whether it’s bedtime routines, bottle feeding, playtime, or simply keeping the evening running smoothly, I’m here to help! Looking forward to supporting your family for date nights, special events, and occasional babysitting needs!
“Very involved and engaged.”

I’m a current CNA who was licensed six years ago. I’m also a student in the RN program. Additionally, I’ve been working as a substitute Para Educator at schools from elementary to high school. Since the New Year of 2024, I’ve gained valuable experience and was promoted to an official unlicensed Behavioral Technician. Growing up in a family of seven, with myself being the second oldest, I had ample experience babysitting my siblings. I’ve also nannied for friends and family for quite some time now. I decided to give UrbanSitter a try because my job as a behavioral technician won’t be necessary during the summer when kids won’t be in school, and I’ll still be available as a substitute. Therefore, I’m happy to take on a few nanny jobs here and there. I believe that as I progress in my experience as a CNA and BT, this will also be beneficial for my growth.
“Our family loves working with Elina. She was very helpful and caring with our kids. She helped with playtime, cleanup, dinner, story time, brush teeth, bedtime, and just relaxing time. We are seeing her on a regular basis.”

Hi ! My name Christina, currently offering childcare. Love to take care of and teach kids. I have worked with youth all ages in the Pierce County and King County in education for 10+ years. Makes me happy to also take care of my nieces, nephews, and Godkids 🫶🏼 Additional Services: Light cooking and cleaning 🍽 🧹 Basic American Sign Language and Spanish
“Christina has worked with our family since my son was just a baby; he’s almost 7 years old (I also have a 5 year old now). We first became acquainted because she was my colleague in higher education and I learned she also was a nanny/babysitter. During this time, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Christina better and seeing her nurture my children in such a positive way. I believe that she is well qualified and experienced to accept the challenge of any childcare position. When Christina first started, she watched my infant son so that my husband and I could go out on dates. 20 months later, our daughter was born and Christina soon began watching our two children. This meant her responsibilities increased to watching the two children alone, making meals for them, and taking them on short outings to the park, the swimming pool, the mall, etc. Christina is upbeat and positive but also able to set boundaries with the children. Whenever she cares for them they are very excited to see her. I have the utmost confidence in her judgment and maturity and have always felt comfortable leaving my children in her care. I recommend Christina without reservation.”
