Isabella $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Isabella, I'm 18 years old, and I'm looking for babysitting or nanny opportunities during my gap year. I have several years of babysitting experience and have also worked in preschool and summer camp settings. I enjoy spending time with kids, whether that's playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, going to the park, or just keeping them entertained and making sure they're having a good time. I'm responsible, dependable, and easy to get along with. I have a valid driver's license and can drive, although I don't currently have my own car. I'm open to both occasional babysitting and more regular nanny positions, and I'd be happy to answer any questions or chat to see if I'd be a good fit for your family.

Grace $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Grace, I grew up on an island in the Puget Sound. I’ve spent the past 5 years working in tech and now am looking into a new career path. I have a 5 year old niece who I have watched regularly throughout her infant life, and have a history of babysitting and nannying throughout high school and college. I’m great with kids, dogs, and cats! I love to spend time at home and play games, watch movies, or spend time in the many local parks or on long walks. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Keianna 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

With experience spanning newborns to high schoolers, I bring a depth of care that’s rare to find in one caregiver. My background includes both public schools and Montessori-inspired private school,where I’ve learned to meet every child exactly where they are — nurturing independence, curiosity, and confidence along the way. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families in all kinds of seasons: working alongside night nurses during those tender early months, providing thoughtful care for children with disabilities and learning differences, and showing up as a steady, trusted presence for the whole family. Whether you need a helping hand at bedtime, after-school support, or something in between, I’m here for it.

“I cannot recommend Keianna enough! She has watched both my daughter and son multiple times, and my kids absolutely adore her. From the very beginning, she made them feel comfortable, safe, and excited to spend time with her. She is incredibly patient, trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely fun with kids. When I gave birth to my son, she stayed overnight with my daughter for two nights, and I honestly could not have asked for someone better to care for her during such an important time for our family. Knowing my daughter was safe, happy, and comfortable with someone she loves gave me so much peace of mind. She keeps the kids engaged, plays with them, and treats them with so much kindness and attention. My kids are always excited to see her, which says everything. I trust her completely and would recommend her to any family looking for an amazing babysitter.”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
