*looking for full time-part time regular positions for this summer starting July 1* Hello/hola! My name is Marilyn, I’m a 24 year old, bilingual (English/Spanish), student with over 6 years of childcare and senior care experience. I have 3 years of experience working for the YMCA as a before/after school instructor, summer camp counselor, and a early learning center floater. I have also nannied for three families and have been an on call babysitter for five others. I live in the Issaquah/Newcastle area and would love to find families to provide childcare for! I genuinely enjoy it and am working to have a bit of money while in nursing school at Bellevue College. I have many wonderful references and would love to chat if interested. Pay range negotiable and cash is preferred.
“Our kids really enjoyed having Marilyn spend time with them! She was on time, easy to talk too, and a great communicator. She also agreed to house sit and keep an eye on our dogs while we are away for a night.”
Hello families, as my contract is coming to an end soon, I am searching for a new part-time role in the mornings. Availability: 20-30 hours weekly, between 6 AM and 12 PM. A little bit about me: - I have a reliable car. - Clean driving record. - CPR certified. - Non-smoker. - Up to date with all vaccines. - Bilingual (Portuguese and English). - Very outdoorsy. I am enthusiastic, energetic, caring, and patient. I am also very punctual and love pets. North Seattle is preferable, but I’m happy to travel further for the right fit.

Hi family! I’m Diana – an energetic, kind, and experienced nanny and teacher who genuinely loves working with kids of all ages. With over six years of experience in education and childcare, I bring a blend of patience, organization, and a fun-loving attitude to every family I work with. I’m a graduate teacher and have worked with children ranging from 2 months to 6 years old in both classroom and home settings. I started babysitting my niece and nephew. I took care of a wonderful family with three children (now 2, 4, and 6 years old) for two years, helping with everything from morning routines and after-school activities to meals and bedtime. I’m currently caring for a 7-month-old baby, which has further deepened my experience with infants. I love spending time outdoors with children—whether it’s walks, playdates, or playground adventures—and I always try to nurture their creativity through art and craft projects. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and always strive to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for kids to thrive. I’m excited to continue supporting families in my area and would love to connect! Feel free to reach out, Diana
“Diana was prompt, kind, and played lots of arts and crafts etc with my 4yo, and very understanding when we ran a bit late. My daughter had a great time!”

Hello, Families! I recently legally changed my name to Kai, but Elisabeth/Beth was my name prior. I’ll happy to send proof of name change if needed! I'm a career nanny with over 15 years of nanny experience. I am also a newborn care specialist, birth doula, and postpartum doula. Though I am a US citizen, I was born and raised in Indonesia and speak fluent Indonesian as well as English. I am fully vaccinated, have a reliable car, clean driving record, and am CPR/First Aid/AED Certified for infants, children, and adults. I enjoy caring for children of all ages, but the bulk of my experience has been in the newborn to 5 year old range. I love getting children outdoors, helping facilitate art projects, listening to music, having dance parties, and also reading with children. I also love board games, having tea parties, and going on neighborhood adventures or outings to the zoo or aquarium. I currently work as a full-time nanny and am unavailable for full-time care, but I am available most weekday mornings before 9am as well as most weeknights after 5:30pm. I am also often available on weekends. ***I do not provide care for sick children, as I do not want to run the risk of my regular nanny family getting sick.*** I have a 4 hour or $120 minimum for bookings and am happy to be paid through Urbansitter, in cash, or through Venmo. I'm happy to do overnights and charge a flat rate of $175 for the hours between 10pm and 6am and my hourly rate for any additional hours. The exception for this would be infants under 12 months old, for which I charge my hourly rate through the night. Please feel free to message me if you have any additional questions. Thank you for your interest in booking with me!
“Kai was very sweet and patient with my three month old!”

"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!"
