Booked by 85 families in Kent, WA

Hello families! I have been a babysitter for over 15 years and have been on Urbansitter for 10. I am currently working as a 3rd grade teacher for Highline Public Schools and am looking for occasional sitting only. Thank you for checking out my profile and I look forward to hearing from you!

I hired Tiffany to care for my two toddlers. She has a very calming energy, and right away my 2 year old- who has separation anxiety sometimes - was very comfortable with her and wasn't upset about me leaving. I was only gone a couple hours but it went very well during that time and was a huge help to me, as this was my first time ever hiring a babysitter for my kids so I was a little nervous. Tiffany was also very professional in addition to my kids liking her. I would definitely reach out to her again for childcare.

Pet care only: I’ve lived with cats and dogs growing up so I love taking care of them. Currently working for a flexible company so my work hours are flexible.

Yadi was able to take care of my cat on short notice. It’s been nothing short of a great experience - Yadi is great at communicating and updating me to make sure I felt comfortable! My cat also seemed to really enjoy his time with her 😄

Hi. My name is Itu. I’m a very dependable babysitter, who knows how to provide exceptional care for your children. I have 8 years experience with children of all ages starting from infants to teenagers. I’m well-versed in creating a fun, nurturing environment that kids love and parents trust. I’m CPR and First Aid Certified. And also as all families are unique, I don’t really have a specific way of how I do things, you tell me what you need and I do just that, adding a little bit where I think it’s needed but otherwise I tailor my approach to fit your child’s needs and your household routines.. I’m dedicated to making babysitting time special for your children and stress-free for you. Thank you! Chat to you soon..

Itu is compassionate, friendly and our son enjoyed spending the day with her! She's very collaborative and tailored babysitting to our son well

"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!"
