Hi there! I’m a current pre school teacher and early childhood educator! I’ve been working with kids from all ages from school age to infancy for the past 7 years. I also have experience being a home health aide for people living in their golden years! I love seeing children grow and develop their own skills and unique abilities. I specifically love doing art projects and reading with the kiddos! Some of my hobbies include embroidery, reading and hiking!

Hi my name is Malyun. I am a student at the University of Washington (Seattle) studying information systems. I’m offering childcare for occasional shifts like date nights. I love baby sitting and being a helping hand. I’ve tutored and babysat children for around 5 years (ages 5-12) at a non profit organization (Big Brain Superhero’s). Helping with school, crafts and fun activities. I have been a caregiver for neurodivergent children (ADHD & Autism), my little brother I’ve been watching since I was 12. I’m CPR certified. I can cook, drive to appointments and do other task!
“My kids loved spending time with Malyun. She was communicative and flexible with my kids needs. I plan to hire her again.”

"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."
