Booked by 126 families in Bellingham, WA

Hi parents my name is Nadine. I am a responsible, caring, fun and reliable nanny. I've lived in Washington State for about 10 years now. I've been working with kids since I was 14 and love it. I started by watching my younger siblings and cousins, then kids in my neighborhood. I also volunteered as a teacher’s aide during my junior and senior year in high school. Afterwards I joined urbansitter when I started college and have been with them since then. An example of some of the things I like to do with kids are taking them outside to either the park or just the backyard to get away from the screen, if the weather permits, but if not, I keep them occupied at home with arts and crafts, reading, board games, etc. I would be a great date-night, part-time and/or weekend sitter. Minimum hours: 3 hours Cancellation policy: If possible if a parent needs to cancel a job please let me know 24 hours in advance. If the booking in cancelled in less than 12 hours I do expect to be paid 50% of the agreed hours.

“Nadine did a great job with our daughter!”

Booked by 1 family in Bellingham, WA

Throughout high school and college I was a nanny for two kids in elementary school. Once I graduated, I got a job as a first grade teacher. Then I moved to teach 5th and 6th grade, as well as coach middle school soccer. During this time I spent my evenings babysitting young toddlers and babies in my neighborhood. Now I have my own kids, 1 and 3. We enjoy spending our days outside, climbing trees, and playing in the dirt.

Shania $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm a compassionate, responsible, and dedicated caregiver with several years of professional experience providing care, comfort, and companionship to others. My background in healthcare, including working as a Home Care Aide and Resident Care Coordinator, has helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, organization, and understanding individual needs. I have experience assisting seniors with daily activities, providing companionship, maintaining a clean and comfortable environment, preparing meals, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can genuinely trust. I'm also an animal lover with a soft spot for cats and dogs! 🐱🐶 I understand that pets are family, and I believe every furry friend deserves love, attention, patience, and a safe environment. Whether it's feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I'm committed to making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. My greatest strengths are my kindness, reliability, attention to detail, and nurturing personality. I'm organized, respectful of people's homes, and dedicated to following instructions and maintaining routines. I can also assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, household organization, and other everyday tasks. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, loving care and give families peace of mind knowing their loved ones, pets, and homes are in caring hands. ❤️

Brynn $18 per hour for 1 child

I'm currently a sophomore at Western Washington University where I'm developing an interdisciplinary major that combines Neuroscience (particularly fear sciences), messaging, and comparative cultural studies. Prior to moving out west I lived in Norway and went to Voss Folk School where I 'studied' backcountry skiing and analog photography. In my free time I love to be outdoors either taking the time to slow down or get my heart racing. In addition to being outside I love to work with my hands crafting. I love to try new things and would consider myself a jack of all trades. Childcare experience: Throughout high school I nannied for two families (Nevilles: 3 girls and two boys ranging 4-12 years old + Dientenbergers: 2 boys and one girl ranging 2-10 years old). I grew up on the same block as both of these families and have a lot of love for them. Watching them grow has been a pleasure and I still get together with them every time I'm back home. My work for these families varied over the years, but generally I'd watch them after school and late on weekends helping them with homework, going on adventures, crafting and doing household chores. For the past 3 summers I've worked at Camp du Nord, a family camp near the Boundary Water Canoe Area. My first two years working at du Nord I was on program staff. Each week on program staff I was assigned an age group ranging from 0-14 years old that I would look after in the morning. In the afternoons I would lead activities (such as paddling 101, soccer, beading etc) for kids and adults. This year I took on a lead position in the garden. In the mornings I'd have age groups and adults come into the garden and tell them about what I was growing, different agricultural techniques, fun facts and practical uses for plants. In the afternoons I'd lead classes such as pickling, making plant dyes, and tea foraging hikes. I love working with kids and feel I can learn a lot from them. I find their curiosity and enthusiasm eye opening and hope to preserve a positive view of our world. I understand how receptive and malleable young minds are and hope that in every interaction I can facilitate their development. I'm all about having fun, but also know how to take control and assert myself when needed.

"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)."
