Hello UrbanSitter Families! I'm not the greatest at introductions but I promise I'm far better in-person with families and kids. Combined, I have now over 15 years of experience working with families. In fact, there has not really been a time where I have ever stopped working with families! I have professionally managed events, conferences, and weddings for a good chunk of my career before transitioning to academic research and law. Outside of this platform, I work privately in law, with content management, and coach public speaking. I took a break from UrbanSitter for several years for grad schools. Now, I mostly use UrbanSitter to help with occasional date night, wedding, and events request. Would love to work with you and your family!
Leila $22 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Leila, a student at the University of Washington with several years of experience working with children. In high school, I completed a 3-year childcare career pathway program where I worked closely with kids of different ages through activities, learning, and care. I also have hands-on experience caring for my two infant nieces and younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable with routines, playtime, meals, and helping children feel safe and supported. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like crafts, games, reading, and outdoor play. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and create a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I have two ragdoll cats of my own, and I am very comfortable around pets!

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."
