Hello! I have been babysitting and working with children for most of my life, and am at a place where I'm ready to start working for new families again! I have a Masters in Public Health and am finishing up my job running food access programs with the YMCA, where I have been working for the last five years, and am about to go back to school for a nursing degree! I previously have worked as a preschool teacher, before-and after-school childcare provider, and nanny for families with children from infants to teens. For years had families I regularly did date night sitting for, and I looking to get back into that. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and have taught both gymnastics and swim lessons to all ages. I miss working with kids, and am looking forward to getting back into it! I also have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats (and love both!), and am happy to provide pet care as well.
I am a diverse caregiver. I have 8 years of experience with children from ages newborn to 8 years of age as close relations and as well as experience with 10-15 years of age with short term care. I have a son of my own who is now 8 months and I look forward to having more children. I enjoy cooking and living/ working in a clean space , I was also a RA as a full time job. I am a warm positive person with a unique perspective in challenging situations. I enjoy fun activities such art projects, book reading , and math equations. A future goal of mine would be to own a business that can cater to family’s in need.
I’m a responsible and caring caregiver with years of experience working in a licensed daycare. I’m CPR/First Aid trained and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel comfortable.
Hello folks! I am Elizabeth and am so excited to meet you! I am happy to offer child care, senior care, and household services. I have a car and am available to help with driving tasks. I have over five years of experience in healthcare. As a float pool nurse, I worked in units all across the age spectrum from adolescent psychiatry to geriatric care. Therefore, I am very comfortable working with children and folks of all ages and abilities. I have my basic and advanced life support licenses and an overall focus on the well-being and joy of those I interact with. Additionally, I have a background in outdoor education. I’ve worked as camp counselor, soccer coach, and as well as a facilitator for team building workshops. I love to be outside and I love to help others explore the world around them in order to discover and grow into themselves. Happy to work with families with dogs, but I am allergic to cats. Thank you!
Hi there! I’m a youth and adolescent mental health clinician who loves being a mentor using play, art, and activities to help kids grow. I have years of experience working with children of all ages, from kindergarten through adolescence. I have experience as a nanny as well and have worked with adults from age 18 to 65. Pets have been in every part of my life and I love taking care of all animals. Even reptiles! My professional experience at Seattle Children’s Hospital has given me the opportunity to do what I love in childhood mental health work. We engage children in emotional regulation, social development, life skills and crisis intervention using research based interventions that are fun. My favourite activities to do with youth is playing games like uno, crafting, creative writing, and pretend play. I hold a BA in Psychology, am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work, and have certifications in crisis intervention and CPR/BLS. Some of my favourite things to do on my downtime include cooking, baking, reading, knitting, train running, gardening and watching movies. I can’t wait to bring some fun, laughter, and creativity to 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."
