Hello! My name is Katie. I have been working as a full time nanny for the last 6 years, and babysat for several years prior as well. I have cared for kids aged 4 months to 10 years, and also helped as a household manager- scheduling appointments and running errands. Additionally, I have experience working in a Montessori school/daycare. I would love to chat more and see if I could be a good fit with your family!

Maili $27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Preston, 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!

Booked by 1 family in Preston, WA
espectful, active and charismatic person. my native language is Spanish. I have experience with babies, children and adolescents. I have references from previous jobs who would be happy to give references of mine. I like pets, I know more about cats and dogs. I am a math and Spanish tutor. I like that the children I take care of are always active doing activities like painting, coloring, drawing, doing play doh.
“I hired Angie a little over two years ago, when my son was 4 months old and my daughter was 2. She immediately impressed us with her calm, effective communication style and her natural ability to connect with and guide our children. We quickly increased her hours, and she has since supported our family for approximately 16 hours per week over the past two years. Over this time, she has consistently proven herself to be an exceptional caregiver and problem solver—proactive, hardworking, and often one step ahead of what our family needs, frequently resolving challenges before we even notice them. Angie is incredibly capable, deeply reliable, and truly trustworthy. We see her as part of our family and trust her completely.”
