Hello beautiful families! My name is Yousra and I’m currently a student at the University of Washington majoring in Geography Information Systems. While I am a full-time student, I love to spend the rest of my time caring for children of all ages! I have a wide variety of experiences starting from the age of 13. I started off watching my younger family members ages 1 - 10 and moving forward, I began caregiving for all ages of children in my neighborhood as well as nearby communities. Once I was in high school, I began tutoring kids ages 6 - 12 in all academic subjects and so forth. Please feel free to let me know if you’d like any additional information regarding my experience with children. In addition to babysitting, I also offer senior care and household services. I’m excited to meet your child along with the rest of your family!

Hello! I’m Jac— a part-time artist with over 15 years of experience working with children. I am passionate about creating a safe and creative environment for kids and pets. I graduated from Seattle University with a bachelors in WGST and am hoping to continue my eduction in carpentry. My work experience includes babysitting, tutoring, teaching art, children’s theatre, dog/ cat sitting, and general household services. I have worked with 0-16 year olds, with the bulk of my experiences being with pre-school aged children. As an artist, it is important for me to bring creativity and levity to all that I do. I am organized, timely, and aim to foster good communication between all parties involved. If you have questions, feel free to reach out! Thank you!

Jaclyn is great with my picky kids (12 & 15) - they love her! She is wonderful at helping me manage our family schedule and the many responsibilities we have. She can anticipate conflicts with our schedule and communicate with me, all while getting the kids fed and making time to play a game. Highly recommended.

Hi! I’m Katie and I’ve been caring for children for 15+ years. I am passionate about the nurturing and education of children, and enjoy fostering their individual growth and development. I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Science in Geoscience and a Minor in Disability Studies. My future goal is to merge my love for childcare, pedagogy, disability studies and environmental science into a learning center for kids. I have extensive experience with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Starting my childcare career as a teenager myself, I have continuously improved my skills through hands-on experience, training courses, certifications, and educational coursework over the past 15 years. Alongside providing in-home care, I have also gained valuable experience working in educational and recreational settings. I am passionate about creating inclusive and supportive environments that empower children to thrive and succeed. I use adaptive caregiving techniques to meet the individual needs of children with diverse abilities. Through a blend of educational, professional, and personal experiences, I have honed my skills in customizing activities, environments and curriculum to best suit various learning styles, disabilities and abilities. My favorite activity to do with kids is exploring and playing outdoors in nature. I also love engaging in games, arts and crafts, science experiments, cooking and baking, reading, music, and dance, among other activities! One of my go-to activities, with parental permission, for first visits is making homemade play-dough. It's a simple yet fun activity to break the ice and allow the kids and me to get to know each other. Extra info: In addition to childcare, I’m available to help with tutoring, homework, preparing meals, light cleaning, and errands. I’m an animal lover so any pets are fine by me. In addition to lots of pets and play I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, etc.

Katie was prompt, communicative, flexible, kind, and great with our kids. We would definitely hire her again!

Hi my name is Paula I am an Irish Primary school teacher (elementary teacher) I have my Honors Bachleors Degree in Early Childcare and Education where I’m an Early childcare practitioner along with my Masters of Education where I have been Primary teaching (Elementary and Middle school) for the last 5 years in Ireland I absolutely love what I do. I was also a preschool (daycare) and after school teacher for 2 years in Ireland before I became a Primary Teacher. I have years of experience working with all age groups of children I love what I do, my favourite things to do are singing, acting, music,and art with the children, go for walks to the park, creativity is so important for little ones to learn and develop. I have my child care protection and CPR certificates both from Ireland and from America and my garda vetting. In January 2012 I moved to San Francisco where I had the pleasure to be a nanny for 2 and half year old twins for a beautiful family from 2012 to 2013 then I was a full time nanny working with another amazing family and three beautiful children from December 2012 until August 2015 during this time at weekends I would also do some babysitting on ‘Urbansitter’ and I loved the families I got to know through this app. Then at the end of August I decided to move home and become a teacher. I now have moved to Seattle with my husband and I am hoping to find some babysitting work here and teach also. My past experience consists of fundraising for children in South Africa. I did volunteer work in August, 2009 and setup fundraisers and raised 6,000 Euros for the children. If you would like to know more about me message me, thanks for reading this Paula. Unfortunately I am very allergic to hair on animals so I cant be around dogs and cats in the same room which is really unfortunate as I love animals too.

Paula helped us out when we had a last minute need - she was terrific and put my mind at ease immediately. Patient, caring and a lot of fun, our one year old had a great day with Paula - she even sent us photos throughout the day. Would highly recommend!

"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)."
