Hello, I’m Rebekah 😊 I have almost 10 years of experience working with children in various settings. When I was in high school I taught dance to 3-10 year olds and had a consistent babysitting job. My undergraduate degree is in Elementary Education. I have worked in several formal and informal educational settings (day camps/overnight camps/after school programs/childcare centers). A couple of years ago I moved to Seattle and am now working full time as an administrative assistant. I’m looking for an occasional - to part time babysitting position. Some of my favorite movements working with kids include making crafts, exploring nature, fun science experiments and playing card games. I am currently only certified for Adult CPR in addition to general first aid. I have received Infant child CPR certifications in the past. After graduating college I received my preliminary teaching license. However, at the time I went to work in outdoor education settings. Due to this, my teaching license expired around 3 years ago. I have experience working with kids in Montessori settings. Also, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats. Percy and Hercules are my cats and I am the main sitter for my sister’s two dogs.
Hello! My name is Karolina. I’m originally from Ukraine and speak both Russian and Ukrainian fluently. I’ve always loved being around children and have grown up helping to care for them, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience. I recently got married this past March and am now looking for a wonderful family I can work with long-term. I’m currently a college student studying accounting and am open to both part-time and full-time opportunities while I continue my studies. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light household tasks and help keep things tidy. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little about me—I look forward to the possibility of working with your family!
My name is Molly. I live in West Seattle with my fiancée and pets. I am a student at Seattle Central College studying pre-nursing. I have been babysitting part time for the past year while in school and offer services in childcare. I have experiences with children of all ages. I worked as a certified medical assistant for 3 years in urgent care and sports medicine before taking time off to go back to school. My experience in childcare primarily comes from helping take care of my four nieces for the past 16 years. I also volunteered as a camp counselor for a Girl Scouts day camp every summer for 6 years, as well as for a 5th grade trip to Camp Colman. I also have experience with pediatric patients while working as a medical assistant. I am more than happy to implement your routine and parenting techniques while you’re away. I am quite flexible, if you have any questions please reach out!
I have a long experience working with children all ages. I love being around kids, playing, teaching and having fun with them. I’m a very responsible, caring person that you can depend on me while you’re away.
“Lubna did a great job with our daughter, engaging her, redirecting her when needed, and chatting with her. We also appreciated her quick responsiveness and willingness to come at the last minute when we had another sitter cancel. We would definitely recommend her to other families!”
Hello! My name is Ruth and I am a retired children's librarian and a former lead teacher in an after-school program in West Seattle. I am looking for occasional work providing babysitting or cat sitting services or a nanny position. Is your regular nanny ill? Babysitter cancelled? I can fulfill last-minute requests, too. Highly creative, I have a master's degree in library and information science, specializing in children's services. As a librarian, I provided children's story times and created both craft and STEM programs. I enjoy being with kids and exploring books, art and nature. I have two cats, Susan and Linda, who are litter mates. They began life as feral, abandoned kittens who were terrified of people. They're now four years old and both are big lap cats. I also occasionally care for the cats of two households in West Seattle. I usually spend about a half an hour in the home, talking and playing with the cat, feeding, and cleaning the litter box. I grew up with dogs, and love them, too, so working with a family with dogs is A-okay with me! A licensed driver with clean record, I rely on public transportation to get around. I look forward to meeting you and your family.

"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."
