Hello, my name is Manuela, I’m from Colombia and I was an au pair for 2 years. I’m offering childcare. I care 3 beautiful Children in my au pair experience, (1.5 yo, 3 yo, 5 yo) I’m IQ and I’ve been watching infants and toddlers since I was 14 years old. I’m a strong driver, I’ve driven for 4 years, 2 in Colombia and 2 here in Seattle. Also I’m bilingual, Spanish is my native language and English is my second one. I’m 100% pet friendly, I love dogs and cats.
Hi there! My name is Asma and I can’t wait to work with you. A little about me, I am originally from Ethiopia and eventually made my way to the States in 1998. Since then, I am lucky enough to have birthed 4 beautiful kids here: 3 boys (9, 16, 18) and 1 girl (19)! Aside from the motherhood experience, I’ve worked with seniors and children of all ages for over a decade. I have been employed as an Assistant Teacher at the Goddard School in Snoqualmie, Washington since 2016. At the Goddard School, I have been an assistant teacher to several teachers and have cared for ages newborn to 5, just until they’re headed to Kindergarten. In doing so, my responsibilities included: creating a calm, safe and nurturing environment to meet the physical, emotional and cognitive needs of infants, diaper changing, playing indoor & outdoors, etc. Furthermore, from 2005 to 2010, I was employed as a Home Care Assistance through Chesterfield in Seattle, Washington where I was responsible for caring for several seniors. My responsibilities included: mobility support, assisting with maintaining personal hygiene by bathing, brushing their hair and teeth or applying skincare, etc. I truly love working with seniors and children as they both provide me with a sense of joy and happiness. With each child or senior that I care for, I am committed to providing a safe and comfortable relationship with one another to ensure that they are best cared for. I would love to expand on my experience, if needed. Please feel free to reach out at anytime. Before accepting a booking, please be aware that I am unable to work with dogs and/or cats. Nevertheless, I am so excited to meet you! Additional Info: ⁃ Cleared for TB ⁃ MMR Immunization
I have worked in school districts for 10 years plus. Most of it was with special education, children. For the last five years, I’ve taken care of my very sick husband.. He goes to Dialysis three times a week of which I have already put into the hours I can work and he also has short-term memory loss. I have a great deal of patience and empathy for those that are younger and those that may have minor mental and emotional problems. I take very seriously what it is that I do. I do not consider these individuals as lesser people. I especially love children. I have 10 grandchildren, and I taught all of them how to swim. I was a major part in their lives and as a result of my support as has been told to me by my children, my grandchildren are stable and productive individuals in the society. But I mostly love and enjoy little one’s handicapped or not.
Howdy! My name is Kiara, and thank you for considering me to watch some of the most valuable beings in your life. I am 22 years old, and grew up as the eldest in my family with 2 significantly younger sisters, and several cousins, whom I have helped keep an eye on. Children bring a sense of wonder and curiosity many adults have lost, which is why I believe it is our responsibility as caretakers to responsibly foster these traits in a safe environment. I believe the best way to do this is to play, imagine, discover, and grow with those whom I watch. They have as much to teach me, as I do to them. Pets are family too, which is why I understand the love and compassion needed to care take for them as well. From walks, to playtime, or even cleaning up after accidents, I am here to care for them in your steed as you go on adventures of your own!
Hello, My name is Maimouna, you can call me Mayu (May-you), I am 21 years old. Responsible and reliable. I am bilingual (Arabic and English). I am CPR certified and have reliable transportation (will need parking.) I’ve been a caregiver for my mother for 4 years, recently started working as a Para Educator in the Everett school district. I’ve worked with adult students as well as pre-k and 1st grade students with disabilities. I do cleaning, running errands (in the area.), babysitting, housesitting, and petsitting. I am allergic to dogs but I am happy to work with families with cats. I do not do toileting or diaper changes. Due to religious beliefs and practices I will only work with clients who are clothed and toilet independent.

"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."
