I have been a nanny for over 12 years and about 8 years ago I transitioned into the corporate world. I am missing all the silly times with my little people and would like some occasional jobs to keep me engaged and having fun! I have a ton of energy and can keep up with any child or large families. I love animals as well! I have had quite a few cooking jobs and I don't sit very well for too long. So, if a baby is sleeping... I am cleaning or prepping food :) My minimum is 4 hours of work, so if you come home early, I still get paid for 4 hours. Thank you.
“Tiffany is extremely warm, energetic and professional and clearly very experienced! She is one of the first babysitters we've used as first-time parents and we felt at-ease almost right away.”
Hello! My name is Jessica. I’m 26 and have been a preschool teacher since 2022. I am currently available on occasional evenings or on the weekends. I enjoy following children’s interests, acting playful and silly, and being actively engaged in their play. I love being a part of children’s learning and development, and seeing them express their unique personality! I always strive to connect with each child and make them feel safe, loved, and valued. My favorite activities to do with children are arts and crafts, pretend play, outdoor play, reading, puzzles, board games, and playing hide and seek. I also have experience working with toddlers and elementary-aged kiddos — providing care, tutoring, and leading developmentally-appropriate activities. Through UrbanSitter, I have cared for children from 2-11 years old. You can always expect clear communication, safety and entertainment for your child, and respect of your house rules and expectations. Feel free to reach out, I’m excited to get to know you!
“Jessica was great with our boys (7&11) and very professional. She was on time and flexible with our return time as we weren’t sure how long we would be out. We would absolutely have her back and recommend her to other families. ”
Hi, My name is Alicia! I've been babysitting for 10 years now and it never feels like work to me because it's always fun! I've babysat kids in all different age groups, from 8 months to 10 years old. My favorite things to do while babysitting are going to the park, coloring, reading books, playing outside games, like tag. Pretty much anything to stay active and have fun.
I'm a retired homemaker who has successfully raised three kids in this area. I live with my husband and 2 small dogs in Bellevue. We have three grandchildren under the age of 12, they live locally and we see them frequently! I love kids, people and pets and I like to help. I have many years experience as a parent, and have experience being a grandparent too. I can sit, tutor, play and cook. I enjoy running errands and I take direction well. Kids like me, and I'm good with babies too. In my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, board games, shopping, walking the dogs and babysitting.
Hi, my name is Helen! I moved to Seattle after high school and completed my college career here. I've worked most of my life with children and I love it. I love how much character their personalities already have and the energy and joy they bring to the table. I've worked personally for families as well as done babysitting for events where childcare is provided; which has given me a chance to watch wide variety of ages. The imagination that children possess is something to behold, nothing is simply ever just a 'toy' but has a whole story to it. That's a little bit about me! I hope to meet you in person soon!
“Helen made things so easy! She jumped right in, and the kids warmed up to her right away! She nailed nap time, and kept the kids engaged. Would definitely have her back ”

"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."
