Hi, my name is Victoria. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids for 6 years. My responsibilities have included walking to/from school, easy meal prep, crafts, outside time, and cleaning up. I am also available for household services and I can clean, cook, and tidy up the house. I don’t have any allergies, and I’m comfortable being around pets. I’m responsible, pontual, patient, organized, flexible! * vaccinated COVID and Flu * I’m fluent in Portuguese and English.
“We have worked with Vic for many years and she is exceptional. She is reliable, always on time, promotes active play, and is always a calm and warm presence. Our family adores her. No question, would hire again.”

Hello, My name is Maimouna, you can call me Mayu (May-you), I am 21 years old. Responsible and reliable. I am bilingual (Arabic and English). I am CPR certified and have reliable transportation (will need parking.) I’ve been a caregiver for my mother for 4 years, recently started working as a Para Educator in the Everett school district. I’ve worked with adult students as well as pre-k and 1st grade students with disabilities. I do cleaning, running errands (in the area.), babysitting, housesitting, and petsitting. I am allergic to dogs but I am happy to work with families with cats. I do not do toileting or diaper changes. Due to religious beliefs and practices I will only work with clients who are clothed and toilet independent.

Elizabeth $23 per hour for 1 child
I am a nurse and have been working for 6 years. I have worked the longest (and currently work) in primary care which includes children of all ages. Prior to my nursing degree, I was a nanny and caregiver throughout college (4 years), and I babysat in high school too (all ages). I am hoping to offer nanny services on my off days to help save for our own little one in the next year or so :) I love children of all ages and am excited to meet new families!
Quyen $18 per hour for 1 child
I adore children and have two boys myself which I feel is enough for me. I enjoy playing with them especially under 5 when they are cute and fun. But at the end at the day, I would prefer to return to their parents. I can be gentle yet firm for children that like to test boundaries- it allows me to be creative, playful and enjoy seeing their little wheels spinning when I interact with them. In addition, I like pets, but my household have allergy to pet dander so this is one way I can get my baby/ pet fix without having to raise them.

"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."
