Hi there! My name is Elizabeth and I am offering childcare and pet care services. I am available in the evening or weekends. I am a counselor and have a masters degree in social work from UW. I have 10+ years of experience taking care of children of all ages and abilities! I have experience working at a home daycare, as a full-time nanny, and as a cheer coach. I enjoy caring for infants, toddlers and young children. I enjoy being an aunt to 3 nephews (all under 6 years old). We do activities such as going to the park, arts and crafts, or working on developmental skills- especially for infants. I have 2 small dogs- an 8 year old and a 2 year old. I am okay with caring for most cats, but I have mild allergies to some cats (only those with a lot of fur).
Hi, My name is Alicia! I've been babysitting for 10 years now and it never feels like work to me because it's always fun! I've babysat kids in all different age groups, from 8 months to 10 years old. My favorite things to do while babysitting are going to the park, coloring, reading books, playing outside games, like tag. Pretty much anything to stay active and have fun.
I have been a nanny for over 12 years and about 8 years ago I transitioned into the corporate world. I am missing all the silly times with my little people and would like some occasional jobs to keep me engaged and having fun! I have a ton of energy and can keep up with any child or large families. I love animals as well! I have had quite a few cooking jobs and I don't sit very well for too long. So, if a baby is sleeping... I am cleaning or prepping food :) My minimum is 4 hours of work, so if you come home early, I still get paid for 4 hours. Thank you.
“Tiffany is extremely warm, energetic and professional and clearly very experienced! She is one of the first babysitters we've used as first-time parents and we felt at-ease almost right away.”
Hi I'm Grace. I grew up in Indiana, I've been in WA for about 8 years now. I've always taken care of children, of all ages. I've taken care of newborns to pre-teens. I’ve been babysitting through UrbanSitter for a while now and I’m pretty experienced with all age ranges.
I'm a retired homemaker who has successfully raised three kids in this area. I live with my husband and 2 small dogs in Bellevue. We have three grandchildren under the age of 12, they live locally and we see them frequently! I love kids, people and pets and I like to help. I have many years experience as a parent, and have experience being a grandparent too. I can sit, tutor, play and cook. I enjoy running errands and I take direction well. Kids like me, and I'm good with babies too. In my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, board games, shopping, walking the dogs and babysitting.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
