Hello! Since I used at work at a daycare and have been babysitting for over 10+ years, I have seen it all! I am able to handle sick kids, kids who have mental and physical disabilities, and anything most anything else that might happen while I babysit. I love dogs and cats (I have 2)! Also, I have my tutor certification and am fluent in Amharic. Please contact me if you have any questions! I look forward to working with you!
“Afomia is a great caregiver, she was wonderful to our 17 month old baby boy. She is professional and has a great sense of people and babies. We will definitely recommend Afomia to anyone who needs help.”
Hello! My name is Jessica. I’m 26 and have been a preschool teacher since 2022. I am currently available on occasional evenings or on the weekends. I enjoy following children’s interests, acting playful and silly, and being actively engaged in their play. I love being a part of children’s learning and development, and seeing them express their unique personality! I always strive to connect with each child and make them feel safe, loved, and valued. My favorite activities to do with children are arts and crafts, pretend play, outdoor play, reading, puzzles, board games, and playing hide and seek. I also have experience working with toddlers and elementary-aged kiddos — providing care, tutoring, and leading developmentally-appropriate activities. Through UrbanSitter, I have cared for children from 2-11 years old. You can always expect clear communication, safety and entertainment for your child, and respect of your house rules and expectations. Feel free to reach out, I’m excited to get to know you!
“Jessica was great with our boys (7&11) and very professional. She was on time and flexible with our return time as we weren’t sure how long we would be out. We would absolutely have her back and recommend her to other families. ”
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.
Hello! I’m a law student at Seattle University with 7 years of childcare experience, including as a healthcare assistant at a children’s hospital and a nanny for a family of six kids (ages 0-16). I’m responsible, reliable, and promise to keep your kiddos safe and engaged. I’m passionate about getting outdoors and introducing kids to fun, healthy activities. I respect family routines and am ready to adapt to your needs. Looking forward to meeting your family and making life a little easier for you!

"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
