Hello there, my name is Lauren and I am a kind, energetic, and reliable caregiver. I just moved to the beautiful city of Seattle in April 2023. Most recently, I worked with an amazing family in Los Angeles to raise their first child from three months to three years old. I had complete responsibility over his eating, sleeping, social, creative, and intellectual well being. I took my role within the family very seriously making sure that each of those pieces gained the attention they deserved for each milestone. In the last 10 years I have had the opportunity to grow with children ranging from infants to young teenagers. I have a well maintained car with a clean driving record if transportation to classes or adventures is needed. I am open to light housework insuring your home is cleaned up from my time. Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile and I would love to hear from you.
“Lauren was great! Booked her only for housekeeping, but she was super thorough! Would book again.”
Hi!, I’m Maryam, and I have over five years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. My mother owns a daycare center, where I have spent years helping and building strong skills in childcare, from infants to school aged kids. These experiences have given me a deep passion for creating safe, loving, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. I am a caring, energetic, and patient person who loves being active and creative with kids whether that means playing games, helping with schoolwork, or encouraging them through arts, crafts, and outdoor activities. I take pride in nurturing children while also supporting their development and independence. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with light housework, organizing, and running errands. I am also trained in CPR and first aid, ensuring I can respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. My love for children goes beyond caregiving I truly enjoy being part of their growth journey and forming positive, trusting relationships with families. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, experience, and passion for childcare into a supportive and nurturing home environment.
“Maryam has been an amazing sitter for my daughter. She's extremely reliable, communicates often and clearly, and my daughter loves playing with her. Absolutely would recommend.”
Hello ! My name’s Lizzie, and I’m currently studying education at the University of Washington, but I’ve been working with kids for a long time already. I have 5+ years of childcare experience, including infant care all the way up to young adolescents. I'm currently a site manager at an after school program for elementary students from kindergarten to sixth grade. I love what I do and I’d love to work with you to help out with whatever you and your kid(s) need. I'm also more than happy to care for any pets at home as I grew up with dogs myself. I hope you reach out, and thank you in advance for your time.
Hello! My name is Kate. Thanks for checking out my profile. Unfortunately, my schedule is very limited and I’m unavailable to work with new families at this time.
“She's my go to sitter for when I need help. Absolutely wonderful with my 9 month old!”
Hello! My name is Rumana, and I'm a recent graduate from UW Seattle. I’m currently studying for the MCAT and babysitting on the side, so my schedule is pretty flexible between the two! I am located in Seattle and can conveniently get to anywhere close by, such as Capitol Hill, but also have a car and can travel farther (as far as Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, etc.) if needed. I love kids and hope to become a pediatrician one day! To me, working with children is incredibly fun and exciting—I love to engage their curiosity and sense of play as a babysitter and help them learn how to be respectful and kind as peers at the same time. I have experience working with kids of all ages, particularly between infants to around 11 years old. When babysitting, I typically help kids read books, play lots of games, as well as do arts and crafts if available in order to stimulate their imagination and creativity. I am happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, and any other responsibilities you might need me to do. I babysat all throughout undergrad, amounting to 4 years of experience doing paid babysitting, and spent an initial 2 years working for a family with three talkative and active kids aged 1, 3, and 5. Afterwards, I began babysitting for many different families independently for an additional 2 years, and am super adaptable to a variety of kids! In terms of availability, I am typically available in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, but again, I can be flexible if needed! Parenting is hard; the most fulfilling aspect of babysitting to me is helping your family maintain balance within your lives amidst busy schedules, and I sincerely hope to use my experience working with kids in my future career!

Natalie O., mom of five

"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
