I have 8 years of consistent childcare experience, including 3 years as a healthcare assistant at a children’s hospital and a part time nanny for a family of six kids (ages 0-16). I’m responsible, reliable, and promise to keep your kiddos safe and engaged. I’m passionate about getting outdoors and introducing kids to fun, healthy activities. I respect family routines and am ready to adapt to your needs. Looking forward to meeting your family and making life a little easier for you! **late cancellations (within 12 hrs) I still charge half the booking amount**
“Sydney was amazing! Put us at ease immediately as it was our first time leaving the little one with a sitter. She was kind, caring and kept in constant contact with updates throughout the night. ”
Hi! I'm Maria. I currently work in the automotive industry while going to school for my teaching degree. Before that, I spent three years as a teacher's assistant with the Renton School District. Feel free to message me with any questions! :)
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!
My name is Michelle! I have experience working with children from infants to preschoolers. I am a kind individual who understands children's feelings and emotions, and I will ensure they feel safe. My greatest strength is encouraging children’s growth through structured play, learning activities, and exploration.
“Michelle cared for our two year old daughter and was lovely. Would definitely hire her again.”
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!

"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."
Laura F., mom of two
