Hi, My name is Alicia! I've been babysitting for 10 years now and it never feels like work to me because it's always fun! I've babysat kids in all different age groups, from 8 months to 10 years old. My favorite things to do while babysitting are going to the park, coloring, reading books, playing outside games, like tag. Pretty much anything to stay active and have fun.
I love to engage with children in a safe, positive and joyful manner! Currently I work in a childcare nursery with kids generally between 6 months and 5 years old. I worked at a very busy childcare center in a health club for about 18 years, with children between ages 6 months and 12 years. I look forward to bringing my decades of childcare experience, enthusiasm and joy to my interactions with your child.

Hello! My name is Maribel and I’ve recently moved to Seattle and am completing my Masters in Environmental Health. I studied Environmental Science with minors in Chemistry and Neuroscience in San Francisco where I babysat for 3 years and in Stockton for 1 year. I have worked in fast food restaurants and sit-down restaurants, which gave me experience in high-stress environments. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. I have been CPR/BLS certified through the American Heart Association twice. I love working with children and pets, as I am a big sister to a now 13-year-old and have had dogs and cats my entire life, which made me realize how much I love helping and caring for both children and pets! I am also comfortable with driving children, as I have experience in that field as well!
Hi, I’m originally from New York but I’ve lived in the Seattle area for over 24 years. I have a background in early childhood education and have worked previously as a preschool teacher with children ages 2.5-7 years old. I’m passionate about many different educational philosophies and taught primarily in a Montessori inspired classroom. I have a love of reading especially children’s literature and I have experience working in a library specifically in the children’s section. In addition to my teaching experiences I’ve also worked for many years at Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center in Duvall, WA as a volunteer in lessons with children. I recently spent a year in New York where I set up a classroom for my nieces (3,5,) and nephew (7) who were learning from home. I’m excited to work with children again. I think early childhood is a magical time where foundations can be built that last a lifetime. I’m available for date night care and I’m also open to other care opportunities. I look forward to meeting you. *I’m also an auntie to 15 nieces and nephews. ...Education: Emerson College Boston, MA BS Communications

"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
