Find a babysitter in Mercer Island, WA

Hi, parents! I recently moved to the Seattle area (Issaquah) from San Diego and am looking to connect with families who need a reliable, caring babysitter for date nights, evenings, or weekends. This is actually my first time using UrbanSitter! Back in San Diego, I found all of my babysitting jobs through word of mouth. Families I worked with would recommend me to their friends, and I was babysitting for entire friend groups and neighboring families. I'm excited to use this platform to build those same long-term relationships with families here in Washington. I work full-time during the day, so I'm available after 5:00 PM on weekdays and have much more flexibility on weekends. I'm based in Issaquah and am happy to travel up to about 15 miles for the right family. A little about me: ⭐ 6+ years of babysitting and nanny experience ⭐ Experience with children of all ages, especially newborns and toddlers ⭐ CPR certified ⭐ Reliable transportation with a clean driving record ⭐ Fluent in English and Portuguese ⭐ Experience with potty training, introducing solid foods, establishing healthy sleep routines, and Montessori-inspired play Outside of work, I'm a huge animal lover (proud dog mom!) who loves spending time outdoors. I also enjoy cooking, and I have a big interest in holistic health and living a healthy, active lifestyle. Reading books, dancing to music, and playing sports are some of my favorite activities to do with kids. I love encouraging curiosity through stories while keeping little ones active with outdoor play, games, and plenty of fun. I always respect each family's routines, parenting style, and instructions while making sure the kids feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time together. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and become your go-to sitter whenever you need an extra set of helping hands!

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter who genuinely loves children. I’m currently a UW finance student, and I grew up helping care for my two younger sisters—especially my youngest sister, who I helped raise from birth through age five with a 14-year age gap. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with infants and young children and familiar with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and bedtime. In addition to family experience, I have professional babysitting experience for a neighbor and have cared for children of different ages. I’ve also had a house dog my entire life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very active, enjoy playing sports and keeping kids engaged, and I’m always happy to help with homework. I can also assist with light household cleaning and keeping things organized. I’m dependable, attentive, and bring a positive, upbeat attitude to every family I work with!

Hi! I’m Leila, a student at the University of Washington with several years of experience working with children. In high school, I completed a 3-year childcare career pathway program where I worked closely with kids of different ages through activities, learning, and care. I also have hands-on experience caring for my two infant nieces and younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable with routines, playtime, meals, and helping children feel safe and supported. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like crafts, games, reading, and outdoor play. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and create a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I have two ragdoll cats of my own, and I am very comfortable around pets!
