I'm Carol, an experienced nanny. I'm 26 years old. I live in Seattle, at the nice neighborhood of Queen Anne. Currently, I take care full-time a lovely 9 months old baby girl, Monday through Friday. I'm available for extra shifts in the evening and night. I also have experience with dog sitting and housesitting. I have a Bachelor's degree from Brazil and recently started studying for an MBA. I love traveling, making new friends, and exploring different places and cultures. I enjoy cooking and love doing crafts. I have extensive experience with children and am passionate about working with them. I have prepared myself well for this career. I am responsible, affectionate, and dedicated. I treat children with love, care, and attention. I'm also very creative when it comes to entertaining kids-we always have fun with age-appropriate activities that support their development. I'm fully vaccinated and certified in First Aid, CPR, and babysitting!

“Carol was diligent, cheerful, helpful, and also well liked by my 4-year-old!”

Hello, my name is Lisa (AnnaLisa). I'm an experienced, reliable, and fun caregiver looking for further opportunities to continue working with families. My B.A. degrees from UC Santa Barbara in Psychology & Communications with a focus on child development pushes me to positively change the lives of children. I have been a caregiver of newborns to teenagers for 19+ years in a variety of environments: schools, babysitting, daycare facilities, community centers and nannying. My previous roles include Campus Manager, Extended Care Coordinator and Instructional Aide at a private IB Reggio Italian Immersion Elementary School working on the administrative side, as well as collaborating in the classroom, recess and after school programs. I was previously a Behavior Therapist for children (specifically with Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder) in underserved schools leading to my strong belief a naturalistic environment of learning should be safe, creative, enjoyable, and a place of growth. When working on my credentials, I spent two years as a full-time nanny for a girl (3-5 years old). I transitioned to be a Kindergarten teacher for a pod group supporting virtual learning during the pandemic. In 2021, I moved to Seattle in a new field as a Project Manager for a brand marketing company, and looking to stay to my roots by caring for families in my free time. I was previously the Head Coach for Girls Leading Girls soccer non-profit that focuses on life skills through sports. Through the years my concentration has been in three main areas: skills development, leadership training and character building. I am trained CPR/First Aid certified from my time as a Swim Instructor at the JCC. In my free time I enjoy crafting, cooking, yoga, writing, boxing, pickleball, and being out in the sun. My life passions are demonstrated by world travels, giant library of books, and long history working with children of all ages (newborn - early teens).

“Annalisa was a great sitter for our daughter. She brought activities with her and jumped right into caring for the kid while we finished getting ready. We would definitely recommend her services to anyone who wants a responsive, well rounded caregiver for their kiddo.”

I have experience babysitting children ranging from 18 months up to 13 years, including kids with ADHD and ASD. I'm a pretty calm and easygoing guy, and always make an effort to engage with the kids I watch. I’m a pretty active person and like to get the kids outside when I can; bike rides, lava monster and soccer are frequent activities. While I personally enjoy physical activities, I'm always happy to take it easy and break out some table games or crafts for a quiet night in. I am comfortable with pets as well. P.S. I completed my bachelor's in March ’22, and am currently searching for work in the communications field.

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! ;)”
