Hi there! My name is Asma and I can’t wait to work with you. A little about me, I am originally from Ethiopia and eventually made my way to the States in 1998. Since then, I am lucky enough to have birthed 4 beautiful kids here: 3 boys (9, 16, 18) and 1 girl (19)! Aside from the motherhood experience, I’ve worked with seniors and children of all ages for over a decade. I have been employed as an Assistant Teacher at the Goddard School in Snoqualmie, Washington since 2016. At the Goddard School, I have been an assistant teacher to several teachers and have cared for ages newborn to 5, just until they’re headed to Kindergarten. In doing so, my responsibilities included: creating a calm, safe and nurturing environment to meet the physical, emotional and cognitive needs of infants, diaper changing, playing indoor & outdoors, etc. Furthermore, from 2005 to 2010, I was employed as a Home Care Assistance through Chesterfield in Seattle, Washington where I was responsible for caring for several seniors. My responsibilities included: mobility support, assisting with maintaining personal hygiene by bathing, brushing their hair and teeth or applying skincare, etc. I truly love working with seniors and children as they both provide me with a sense of joy and happiness. With each child or senior that I care for, I am committed to providing a safe and comfortable relationship with one another to ensure that they are best cared for. I would love to expand on my experience, if needed. Please feel free to reach out at anytime. Before accepting a booking, please be aware that I am unable to work with dogs and/or cats. Nevertheless, I am so excited to meet you! Additional Info: ⁃ Cleared for TB ⁃ MMR Immunization
Hi, my name is Rosa. I’ve been in daycare for about 12 years. I started in-home care.I have experience with all age groups from infants to school age. I am comfortable with senior care. I’ve taken care of my grandparents. I can also help out with health household services, tidying up and running errands.
I totally understand that finding reliable childcare can be challenging, and that's where I come in 😊 ✨ Hi, I'm Caelin! I'm coming back to UrbanSitter after a few years away. Corporate life (I was a Product Manager) kept me busy and traveling, so sitting took a backseat. I've recently been laid off, and while the job market does its thing, I'm so glad to be back doing work I genuinely love. The families I'm still with today? They originally found me right here on UrbanSitter. We've stayed connected through job changes, new babies, and cross-country moves. That kind of long-term trust isn't something I take lightly, and it's exactly what I hope to build with new families too. I've been doing this since I was 14. Through middle school, high school, all of college, and into my corporate career until work travel made consistent scheduling hard. Now in my 30s, I bring the same heart I always have, plus the patience and emotional maturity that only comes with decades of real experience. I've cared for kids newborn through preteen, traveled with families' children (including a Disneyland trip while parents relaxed at the hotel spa), and handled everything from morning school runs to late-night emergency coverage. My approach is rooted in Montessori and Waldorf philosophy. If you're a Bluey family, think of me as your real-life Calypso. The energy stays grounded so the creativity can go limitless. What I care about most: you actually unplugging. Not just physically leaving while mentally running your worry I prioritize open communication with parents to ensure that your child's needs and preferences are met while in my care. Safety is paramount, and I'm trained in CPR and first aid to provide peace of mind. I provide text and picture/video updates as frequently as you would like! My approach is all about fostering independence, building self-esteem, and promoting positive interactions! I'm here to engage in age-appropriate activities, encourage creativity, and ensure your child feels cherished every moment we spend together. I aim to ensure they feel loved and supported in my care. 🪻Learn more at carebycaelin.carrd.co
“We had Caelin over for an introduction / “interview” trial babysitting session to help ease our 2 year old daughter into our first non-family babysitter (& ourselves!). From the get-go, Caelin connected well with our typically cautious daughter by getting down to her level & engaging her with interest in her lovie & the new situation. She deemed her a good one! We only had Caelin over for two hours, which I was able to leave them alone wholeheartedly while making dinner (while overhearing giggles & constant conversation about their activities at hand, which shifted numerous times, but Caelin was a natural & pivoted with ease). I also was impressed by her knowledge of children’s behaviors & developmental stages (also sharing a mutual fascination of babies/children). We are so relieved that we found Caelin, who we plan on hopefully being our go-to family babysitter—I feel confident for the next “hangouts” with our daughter to be in great care & trust while we are out (which is saying a lot from this nervous first time mommy!). It’s a relief that we can finally get some toddler-free time thanks to her. Can’t recommend Caelin enough, but hope everyone doesn’t book her out before us from this review! ;)”
Hi there! So glad you found my page! My name is Sydney. You can call me Syd! I'm a pediatric occupational therapist looking to provide respite to parents of children with disabilities. I know that it can be challenging to find reliable, understanding, and knowledgeable date night sitters for your children and I’m here to help. I am experienced in supporting children with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, PDA, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. Looking forward to connecting. Disclaimer: If I currently provide occupational therapy services to your child, I cannot also provide child care. That would be considered a dual relationship and would violate OT professional ethics codes. Cancellation policy: If a family cancels with me with less than 24 hours notice, I do charge 50% of the agreed upon rate. By booking with me, you agree to these terms.
“Syd was great! She somehow even managed to get my kiddo to sleep!! Truly grateful 🖤”
Hi, my name is Diana! I’m 30 years old and hold a bachelor’s degree in Educational Psychology. I’m currently working as an early preschool teacher, and I’m passionate about children’s development and the many ways they learn. I love exploring how kids think, feel, express themselves, and how to best support their growth. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children—as both a nanny and during my college years. I’ve also worked as a Spanish and English teacher, as well as with larger groups of children, so I feel confident creating engaging activities for all ages. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include crafts, painting, science experiments, puzzles, board games, and outdoor sports. I also enjoy helping with homework, teaching Spanish, encouraging positive behavior, and offering light household support. I’m fully vaccinated and certified in CPR, First Aid, and MERIT by Early Learning Professionals in Washington. I’d love to bring creativity, patience, and fun into your child’s day while making sure they feel safe and supported.
“Diana was our son's nanny for a year and she was the best! Always arrived on time, quick to learn our routine, knew what to do with little instruction, was a self-starter. We trusted our son with her and let her lead with which activities to do at home. She was pretty much the perfect nanny for us. We definitely recommend her.”
