Hiya! My name's Brett. I'm a childcare worker and teacher with seven years of professional experience. I currently work as an elementary school tutor in North Seattle. I've previously worked as a behavioral interventionist, student mentor, and summer camp counselor. My life's passion is bringing happiness to children, encouraging their learning and creativity, and just having fun! My childcare approach is based on empathy, responsibility, and compassion. When children are treated with respect and held accountable for their actions, it teaches them to be responsible, independent, and have a strong sense of self-worth. Outside of childcare, I love writing (fiction and poetry), drawing, reading, video games, and spending time in the outdoors. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and trained in various health and safety procedures. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
I was born in Vermont as the oldest of five children. I have lived in Seattle for almost 20 years and I am the mom of two. My day job is as a Physician Assistant. I love kids of all ages and as a working mom I’m very familiar with how difficult the process of finding childcare providers can be. I am grateful for the opportunity to provide your family reliable and nurturing care that comes from a lifetime of experience.
Hi! My name is Majo. I'm a responsible, caring, and patient babysitter with experience caring for children from 6 months to 10+ years old. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I have experience with feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, playtime, outdoor activities, homework help, and caring for multiple children. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care and give parents peace of mind while their children are in good hands.
As an exhibiting artist and former full-time arts educator, I believe in facilitating meaningful, creative, and developmentally appropriate experiences for the children and seniors I care for. I pride myself in my ability to anticipate needs, develop organizational systems for families and care teams, and to communicate clearly. The foundation of my care skills was laid during my first 4 years of nonprofit education work, where I primarily taught creative movement to ages 3-5 and to seniors in residential programs. Later, I nannied an incredible infant from 8mo to 2.5 years and worked for 2 years in an after school enrichment program, and I was a full-time live-in caregiver for a person with brain cancer in their last year of life. I currently substitute teach in ECE classrooms around the city and run my own business as a Licensed Massage Therapist. I believe in getting the people I care for out of the house, moving their bodies in nature, and enjoying everything this city has to offer. Certifications include: MFA in Art (University of Michigan), BFA in Dance (Ohio University), CPR/AED, Massage Therapist License, 200hr Yoga Certification, and Washington Food Handlers Card.
Hi! My name is Amelia, and I’m a graduate student at the University of Washington who loves working with kids and helping families. With years of experience, I know how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children of all ages. In addition to childcare and tutoring, I can assist with household chores, cooking, organizing, even pet sitting. I’m happy to help make your home life a little easier while ensuring your children are engaged, happy, and well cared for. In my free time, I love doing pottery, hanging with my two cats, and enjoying the beauty of Seattle. If you’re looking for a versatile, dependable sitter who can support your family in multiple ways, let’s chat! I’d love to learn how I can best meet your needs.

"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."
