Hello, my name is Marisol, I am a certified teacher from North Seattle College and I have my own daycare called Planeta Kids, which offers daytime service from 7 to 5 pm Monday through Friday, however I do not have openings right now. I offer childcare on special occasions, when parents need to go to an appointment, night jobs or any other situation after 5 pm and during the weekends, I offer this service in the comfort of my home, which has nice, safe and fun spaces for the little ones. I enjoy caring for newborns, babies and toddlers, I am a mother of three children ages 21, 19 and 15. My responsibilities include driving to and from school or home, extracurricular support, feeding them and any special requirements you may need. I speak Spanish and basic English.
Hello families, I have been a babysitter for over 15 years and have been on Urbansitter for 12. I am currently working as a substitute for Highline Public Schools. I am interested in part time and occasional child care positions. Thank you for checking out my profile and I look forward to hearing from you!
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 families! I’m Dakaysia (Kaysia), I have one child (7 years old) and I’ve spent many years babysitting and caring for kids of all ages including handling multiple children at once. I’m a calm, patient person who genuinely enjoys being around kids and creating a fun, safe space for them. I also have personal experience caring for my autistic nephew, which has helped me learn how to be extra understanding, flexible, and supportive with different needs and personalities. I’m really good at reading the room, keeping routines smooth, and making sure every child feels comfortable and included. With my background in serving and bartending, I’m great at multitasking, staying organized, and keeping things running even when it’s a little hectic. Whether we’re doing crafts, homework, playing games, or winding down for bedtime, I show up with a positive attitude and a lot of patience. I’m reliable, easy to talk to, and always try to make things easier for parents. Whether you need occasional help or more regular support, I’d love to connect with your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your little ones! I have plenty of professional and personal references I can provide upon request.
I have more than 20 years experience caring for children in both a home and school setting. I raised children of my own, and had a small home daycare before they were school age. I then began working in the school system. I currently work as a certified behavior technician in Pierce county schools. As a caretaker, I love creating a calm, playful, and creative environment where children feel safe to explore, learn, express themselves, and build independence at their own pace. I believe meaningful growth happens through everyday experiences—spending time outdoors, connecting with the community, trying new things, being creative, and having a trusted adult nearby to offer encouragement and support. I am trauma-informed, BT, BLS- and CPR-certified. I bring patience, compassion, and thoughtful care to every family I work with. Although my professional background as a Certified Behavior Technician informs the care I provide, I do not offer CBT or any other in-home behavioral therapy or services through this platform or any other. When caring for your family member, I am working specifically in the role of a nanny or caretaker. I simply draw on my experience and training to provide informed, compassionate, and attentive care. My current availability is Monday and Wednesday 3:30-12:00am, Fridays beginning at 1:45 p.m., and all day Saturdays and Sundays. I’d love to chat, learn more about your family and what you’re looking for, and see if we might be a great fit! ☀️

"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."
