Booked by 6 families in Carnation, WA

Hello my name is Liana and I am a junior at the University of Puget Sound. I offer babysitting services for any age, pet sitting, and house sitting. My experience with kids includes being an assistant volleyball coach for middle schoolers, being an English tutor for a 5th grader, babysitting a 4 year old girl, and having a sister that is 10 years younger than me. In addition my experience for petting sitting + house sitting includes taking care of my cousins cat, dog, and house for 3 weeks. Some of the things that I value as a caregiver is being kind, communicative (with parents), engaging, patient, and having fun.

Booked by 1 family in Carnation, WA

Hi, my name is Reese! I'm a caring and responsible babysitter who enjoys spending time with kids of all ages. I have plenty of childcare experience and always make sure children are safe, engaged, and having fun. Whether it's playing games, going on walks, reading books, or helping with routines, I’m very attentive and patient. Recently, I worked for a family with 1 infant and 1 toddler. Some of our favorite things to do were going on walks to the playground and library. In addition to babysitting, I would consider myself an active person who enjoys working out, hiking, and horseback riding. I would describe myself as friendly, dependable, respectful, and I always strive to create a positive environment for the families I work with. I recently graduated from college with a bachelors degree and I plan to pursue a career as a paralegal in the future.

Reese was a great babysitter for our infant son! We would happily work with her again and recommend her for other families. She was very professional, timely, and responded quickly to messages. She took care of our little one while we were out for an evening. She played with him, fed him dinner, and put him through the bed time routine.

Maili $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, parents! I recently moved to the Seattle area (Issaquah) from San Diego and am looking to connect with families who need a reliable, caring babysitter for date nights, evenings, or weekends. This is actually my first time using UrbanSitter! Back in San Diego, I found all of my babysitting jobs through word of mouth. Families I worked with would recommend me to their friends, and I was babysitting for entire friend groups and neighboring families. I'm excited to use this platform to build those same long-term relationships with families here in Washington. I work full-time during the day, so I'm available after 5:00 PM on weekdays and have much more flexibility on weekends. I'm based in Issaquah and am happy to travel up to about 15 miles for the right family. A little about me: ⭐ 6+ years of babysitting and nanny experience ⭐ Experience with children of all ages, especially newborns and toddlers ⭐ CPR certified ⭐ Reliable transportation with a clean driving record ⭐ Fluent in English and Portuguese ⭐ Experience with potty training, introducing solid foods, establishing healthy sleep routines, and Montessori-inspired play Outside of work, I'm a huge animal lover (proud dog mom!) who loves spending time outdoors. I also enjoy cooking, and I have a big interest in holistic health and living a healthy, active lifestyle. Reading books, dancing to music, and playing sports are some of my favorite activities to do with kids. I love encouraging curiosity through stories while keeping little ones active with outdoor play, games, and plenty of fun. I always respect each family's routines, parenting style, and instructions while making sure the kids feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time together. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and become your go-to sitter whenever you need an extra set of helping hands!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
