Maria $28 per hour for 1 child

As a nanny from Brazil, I bring 8 years of experience 4y being a teacher in Ebateca, 2 years as a living nanny in Brasil and 2 more years as an Aupair here in US (with a special focus on infants), but also a lot of love, patience, and joy to my work. My heart is truly in caring for little ones. For me, being a great nanny means partnering with you. I see myself as an extension of your family, carefully following your approach to routines, education, and parenting so your child feels secure and loved. You’ll often find us out exploring! I love taking children on adventures to parks, museums, and aquariums—anywhere we can discover something new. I’m also dedicated to nurturing their growing minds and hearts through social play, story times (a personal favorite!), and gentle encouragement to help build their confidence and vocabulary. I’d love the chance to bring my caring and supportive energy to your family.

Evie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Evie and I'm currently a sophomore at Western Washington University studying Biochemistry. I am offering child care, pet sitting, and household services. I love babysitting and pet sitting for friends, and I have further experience through volunteer work with the Girl Scouts of Western Washington and Elevate Robotics Camp. My experience is focused towards toddlers and kids rather than newborns and infants. My responsibilities included tutoring, crafts, organization and management. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I can work with families with cats and dogs, and would be happy to work with more exotic pets if given care instructions.

Yu $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, families! Caring for children has been both my calling and my joy. Over the past four years I've supported little ones from newborns to age 6, with a special knack for energetic toddlers. For two and a half of those years I worked in a Montessori school, guiding children with child-led learning and developmental milestones. I hold a bachelor's degree that included Early Childhood Development coursework, l. Parents describe me as patient, upbeat, and quick to adapt to each household's routines and communication style. I love sparking curiosity through outdoor play, sports, and hands-on educational games. I'm happy to manage school pick-ups, carpools, and swim supervision, and I am fully comfortable focusing on a single child's needs. As a fluent English- and Chinese-speaker, I enjoy introducing simple words and songs from both languages. Watching children gain confidence as they explore their world is immensely rewarding, and I would be honored to support your family's journey.

Yelena $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Carnation, WA

Hello. My name is Helen. I have a teaching degree in Early Education, as well as in Multimedia and Graphic Design. I knew that I wanted to be a teacher since I turned 10, and never regretted my choice. I have been working (and currently am) as preschool teacher for more than 13 years. I also have background in Montessori teaching. My hobbies include reading, music, drawing, arts and crafts. I always treat children as little adults, with respect, trust, compassion and love. I always play with children, not just watch them or supervise. I am fluent in English, as well as in Russian. I value honesty, kindness, transparency, flexibility, integrity, curiosity, sense of humor in others and in myself. Please, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

"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)."
