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.

Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on a neurology floor, and I’ve been caring for kids since 2018. I started babysitting back in high school and have worked with children of all ages: from newborns to teens. I’m currently in nursing school, so I take babysitting jobs for date nights and occasional needs. I’m CPR and Basic Life Support certified, calm under pressure, and experienced with medical situations. I’ve worked with infants as young as two weeks, toddlers, school-age kids, pre-teens, and children on the autism spectrum. I love creating a safe, happy, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and parents can fully relax. A little about me personally: I’m married to my amazing husband, and we have a sweet cat named Oscar. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going outside for walks, cooking simple kid-friendly meals, and helping with homework. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable with pets. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with; many families describe me as warm, dependable, and great with kids. Whether it’s bedtime routines, bottle feeding, playtime, or simply keeping the evening running smoothly, I’m here to help! Looking forward to supporting your family for date nights, special events, and occasional babysitting needs!

Very involved and engaged.

Hi there! I like to go by Andy. I am three years into a graduate program in School Psychology and I am well-versed in child development and education. I'm caring, patient, flexible, and I love working with kids! I have combined seven years of experience babysitting, tutoring, and working as a peer mentor for school-aged kids, including neurodivergent youth. I have also been counseling and teaching social-emotional lessons to students through my program. I am working full time at an elementary school this year, but looking for part time summer gigs with kids in the Tacoma area between June-Aug.

Andy was fantastic with our daughter. We appreciated his attention to detail, great communication, and taking the extra effort to tidy up our hectic home. Our kid can’t wait for Andy to come back again.

"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!"
