Hannah $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Newcastle, WA

Hello! I babysat with an agency through most of college. My assignments ranged between ages 14 months to 9 years. I have the most experience with ages 18 months to 4 years, but I love babies and would love to keep building my skills with infants. In high school, I occasionally babysat an infant, toddler, and preschooler over the course of about two years. I really enjoy spending time with little ones and getting to help them develop their skills. I currently work as a case manager for foster youth and I'm looking to pick up occasional evening shifts to help me through grad school.

Negar $30 per hour for 1 child

I hold bachelor’s degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science and have years of experience caring for children of different ages. I previously worked long-term as a babysitter, worked in an after-school daycare program, and was a teacher at Bright Horizons. I’m detail-oriented, attentive, responsible, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and engaging environment for kids. I can also provide strong references if needed.

"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."
