Hello! My name is Kyleigh, and I am currently offering child (or multiple children), cat or household care. I have a BA in international studies, and have been working in education & youth development non-profits for 7(+) years. I have a strong background in lesson & activity planning for school age children. I have cared for up to 4 children on my own for an entire summer, doing outdoor & indoor activities, cooking breakfast/lunch & prioritizing reading/library time as well. I feel comfortable doing basic home care (overnight/vacation, dishes, laundry, vacuum/sweeping, etc). If I seem like a good match for your family, please connect with me!
“Very engaging with kid, and flexible with household chores! Thanks Kyleigh ”
Emily $33 per hour for 1 child
I'm 26 years old, I'm currently a Full-Time Nanny and I watch over children since I was 14 years old for occasional date nights or community volunteering at events and talent shows. All my experiences are with children between newborn and 12 years old. I love learning with them and helping them to develop their skills. I appreciate a good and open communication and working with the parents to provide their kids the best support and care
Frances $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Frances and I'm a student at the University of Washington studying biology with the intention of attending medical school. Most of my experience working directly with kids has been in the medical/psychology field; I hold two professional licenses as a Certified Behavior Technician (implementing ABA treatment plans in therapy sessions with children of all ages with autism) and a phlebotomy license, where I spent a year working as a phlebotomist at Seattle Children's Hospital. Outside of my professional experience, I have two younger siblings, one of whom is significantly younger than me. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I look forward to chatting with 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."
