Hi! I'm Marielle Joy, born and raised in Seattle. I'm going into my second year pursuing Social Work, with a strong interest in youth development. I have 2 years of paid experience caring for children from toddlers to middle school age & enjoy creating a safe, fun, & supportive environment for them. A few fun facts about me: I love arts & crafts, hiking, spending time with family, & exploring new restaurants and cafés! I'm responsible, attentive, and comfortable with daily routines, homework help, & age-appropriate activities. I'd love the opportunity to support your family! Please feel free to reach out with any questions
Hello! I have been babysitting and working with children for most of my life, and am at a place where I'm ready to start working for new families again! I have a Masters in Public Health and am finishing up my job running food access programs with the YMCA, where I have been working for the last five years, and am about to go back to school for a nursing degree! I previously have worked as a preschool teacher, before-and after-school childcare provider, and nanny for families with children from infants to teens. For years had families I regularly did date night sitting for, and I looking to get back into that. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and have taught both gymnastics and swim lessons to all ages. I miss working with kids, and am looking forward to getting back into it! I also have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats (and love both!), and am happy to provide pet care as well.
I am a diverse caregiver. I have 8 years of experience with children from ages newborn to 8 years of age as close relations and as well as experience with 10-15 years of age with short term care. I have a son of my own who is now 8 months and I look forward to having more children. I enjoy cooking and living/ working in a clean space , I was also a RA as a full time job. I am a warm positive person with a unique perspective in challenging situations. I enjoy fun activities such art projects, book reading , and math equations. A future goal of mine would be to own a business that can cater to family’s in need.
I’m a responsible and caring caregiver with years of experience working in a licensed daycare. I’m CPR/First Aid trained and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable.
With a decade of experience caring for children and seniors, I have developed strong skills in providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. My background includes adapting to various needs, and creating safe, engaging environments for children. From managing daily routines and meal prep to organizing activities that foster learning and creativity, I am committed to ensuring a nurturing experience. In addition to caregiving, I am currently an Office Manager at a medical clinic, where I oversee scheduling, medical records, and administrative tasks. My diverse experience reflects my dedication to responsibility, organization, and providing quality care.

"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."
