Thank you for considering me as your trusted caregiver. I look forward to becoming a part of your family!

ā€œKenitra was amazing. Our daughter connected right away with her and showed her all of her favorite things. This was the first time someone outside of immediate family members watched her but because of Kenitra’s genuine warmth that she expresses naturally. My wife also was appreciative that she sent us photos of the two of them having fun which put her mind at ease. We highly recommend Kenitra!ā€

Hi! I'm Roxy. I grew up in Austin, have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas, and am currently looking for new families to sit for in Seattle. I started babysitting more than a decade ago and have since held positions as a nanny, a childcare provider at a pilates studio, a substitute teacher, and a tutor both in-person at an under-resourced middle school and for distance-learning during COVID. I'm certified in pediatric first aid and CPR, comfortable with pets, and have a clean driving record. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are bake, read together, work on art projects, and get outside to the park or playground. I believe in instilling a sense of compassion, independence, and social justice in children from a young age by creating an environment where they feel loved, heard, and supported. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

ā€œRoxanne was great! Professional, reliable, and communicative. ā€

My name is Schnailah, and I bring a vibrant, enthusiastic, and open minded approach to babysitting. Growing up in Haiti, I developed a strong cultural foundation rooted in community, responsibility, and nurturing care. I was raised in a lively household surrounded by younger siblings and cousins, which gave me plenty of hands on experience with childcare and tutoring. As the eldest, I naturally took on a leadership role helping with homework, looking after their well being, and creating a supportive and encouraging environment. My passion for working with children extends beyond my family, as I also have formal babysitting experience. I have a dynamic personality, a love for adventure, and a genuine eagerness to learn, which helps me build meaningful connections with children while making sure they feel safe, supported, and engaged. I am currently a college student majoring in biology, with plans to attend dental school and become a pediatric dentist. Caring for children is not just a job for me it’s part of my long-term passion and future career, and I would love to bring that same care and dedication to your family.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
