Brett $25 per hour for 1 child

Hiya! My name's Brett. I'm a childcare worker and teacher with seven years of professional experience. I currently work as an elementary school tutor in North Seattle. I've previously worked as a behavioral interventionist, student mentor, and summer camp counselor. My life's passion is bringing happiness to children, encouraging their learning and creativity, and just having fun! My childcare approach is based on empathy, responsibility, and compassion. When children are treated with respect and held accountable for their actions, it teaches them to be responsible, independent, and have a strong sense of self-worth. Outside of childcare, I love writing (fiction and poetry), drawing, reading, video games, and spending time in the outdoors. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and trained in various health and safety procedures. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

Christy $25 per hour for 1 child

I was born in Vermont as the oldest of five children. I have lived in Seattle for almost 20 years and I am the mom of two. My day job is as a Physician Assistant. I love kids of all ages and as a working mom I’m very familiar with how difficult the process of finding childcare providers can be. I am grateful for the opportunity to provide your family reliable and nurturing care that comes from a lifetime of experience.

Maili $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, parents! I recently moved to the Seattle area (Issaquah) from San Diego and am looking to connect with families who need a reliable, caring babysitter for date nights, evenings, or weekends. This is actually my first time using UrbanSitter! Back in San Diego, I found all of my babysitting jobs through word of mouth. Families I worked with would recommend me to their friends, and I was babysitting for entire friend groups and neighboring families. I'm excited to use this platform to build those same long-term relationships with families here in Washington. I work full-time during the day, so I'm available after 5:00 PM on weekdays and have much more flexibility on weekends. I'm based in Issaquah and am happy to travel up to about 15 miles for the right family. A little about me: ⭐ 6+ years of babysitting and nanny experience ⭐ Experience with children of all ages, especially newborns and toddlers ⭐ CPR certified ⭐ Reliable transportation with a clean driving record ⭐ Fluent in English and Portuguese ⭐ Experience with potty training, introducing solid foods, establishing healthy sleep routines, and Montessori-inspired play Outside of work, I'm a huge animal lover (proud dog mom!) who loves spending time outdoors. I also enjoy cooking, and I have a big interest in holistic health and living a healthy, active lifestyle. Reading books, dancing to music, and playing sports are some of my favorite activities to do with kids. I love encouraging curiosity through stories while keeping little ones active with outdoor play, games, and plenty of fun. I always respect each family's routines, parenting style, and instructions while making sure the kids feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time together. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and become your go-to sitter whenever you need an extra set of helping hands!
