Hannah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hannah, I’m 23, and I’ve always had a natural connection with kids and animals. Growing up in a Montessori environment, I spent a lot of time helping with younger students through after school care, crafts, and fun activities, which really shaped my patience and creativity. I’ve also babysat for friends’ children, mostly ages 5 and up, but I’m comfortable around younger kids as well. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very confident when it comes to pet care. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals just as much as I do with kids. I aim to create a safe, calm, and fun environment for both children and pets, and I treat every home with respect and care.

Carl $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm a 42 year old local from Seattle WA. I'm very considerate, patient and engaging with children and enjoy being around them. Although I don't have nanny experience, I would love the opportunity to demonstrate myself as a positive, and responsible nanny and or housekeeper. I completed some college and am planning to return to school for construction management and early childhood education. Currently I'm in Seattle WA and am planning to move as soon as I'm able to find a job, and no later than August 20th, 2026. I love playing with kids and being responsible for them, caring for them, and providing supervision. I don't have kids but would like them someday. I'm a safe driver, great cook and love supporting families with fun, and safe childcare supervision.

"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)."
