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.”
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!
Hi! 🌟 My name is Gabriela and I have over 8 years of experience working with children, always with love, responsibility, and dedication. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, ideally 4–5 hours a day, Monday through Friday, as I’m growing my own small business and looking for a schedule that allows me to balance both. My ideal hours would be 9:00 AM–1:00 PM or 8:00 AM–12:00 PM/1:00 PM, but I’m flexible. I truly enjoy organizing and creating calm, functional spaces, so I’d be happy to work as a Mother’s Helper, helping with household organization, laundry, tidying up, meal prep for the kids, and other light household tasks. I’m also available to help care for children if needed. I have several years of nanny experience and genuinely love working with kids. If you or someone you know is looking for an extra set of hands during the day, I’d love to connect! 📚 Experience with multiple age groups 🗣️ Trilingual: Portuguese | English | Spanish 🫶🏼 Caring, patient, and reliable ✅ References available Thank you 💛
“Gabby is very professional and demonstrated great communication skills throughout the process. Our kids loved having her over. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we are looking for a sitter and would highly recommend to other parents. ”

"UrbanSitter has supported my needs for reliable and joyful sitters. Whether it be for work, recreation or last-minute emergencies, we've made wonderful relationships with local sitters who have become a part of our family!"

"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
