I'm a retired homemaker who has successfully raised three kids in this area. I live with my husband and 2 small dogs in Bellevue. We have three grandchildren under the age of 12, they live locally and we see them frequently! I love kids, people and pets and I like to help. I have many years experience as a parent, and have experience being a grandparent too. I can sit, tutor, play and cook. I enjoy running errands and I take direction well. Kids like me, and I'm good with babies too. In my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, board games, shopping, walking the dogs and babysitting.

Hi! I am a nanny and a teacher. And passionate about what I do!! In the past 3 years I worked for several families. I was an au pair for 2 years and provided care for 2 different families, both with 2 kids and a baby. I currently take care of a boy of 18 months old since he was 2 months old. I graduated in pedagogia in Brazil and taught kids from 6 months old to 6 years old. After having babysitting in the USA I have the knowledge and the experience to offer the best care according to the parents needs. I am vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certificated.

Nice to meet you families! My name is Melissa and I have been working as a caregiver for the last 8+ years. I truly enjoy the company of children and nurture their artistic side. A little bit more about me. I have a background on Architecture and Graphic Design. I love art & crafts, and doing these projects with kiddos is fun (except for the mess). I have a lot of experience with kids between 2-8y/o and experience with babies from 3 months-18 months. I’m excited to be part of your crew of back up childcare!!!

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."
