Most recently,I spent 2 years in the United States as an Au Pair caring for three wonderful children.I began looking after them when they were 6 months,4 years and 5 years old,which gave me valuable experience supporting children through different developmental stages.My responsibilities included preparing meals,driving the children to and from activities,helping with household tasks,organizing engaging activities and actively playing with them both indoors and outdoors.I love encouraging creativity,learning and active play while creating a safe and nurturing environment. Before becoming an Au Pair,I gained 3 years of childcare experience in South Africa,caring for children between the ages of 2 and 14 years old.During this time,I assisted families with daily routines,homework support,meal preparation and recreational activities.I also volunteered at local daycares,helping teachers supervise children,organize activities and maintain a positive learning environment. I am patient,responsible,dependable and genuinely passionate about working with children.I enjoy building meaningful relationships with families and helping children learn,grow and have fun.I look forward to bringing my experience,enthusiasm and caring nature to your family!

Booked by 1 family in Federal Way, WA

Hi! I'm Shylene. With a deep passion for childcare and extensive experience, I’ve had the privilege of working at KinderCare and Right At School, where I created safe, nurturing spaces for children ages 5-12. As a Program Manager, I developed engaging activities, supported homework time, and prepared snacks with careful attention to dietary needs. I’m highly skilled in meeting children’s individual needs, including managing allergies, and keeping accurate records. Beyond these roles, I’ve also enjoyed babysitting for children ages 0-4, where I provide loving care by feeding, bathing, and building strong emotional connections. Since a kid I was always told I had a motherly nature. Aside from babysitting I worked as a Teaching Fellow, and worked closely with K-1st graders, fostering their learning while maintaining open and clear communication with families. My experiences ensure I can bring dependable, compassionate, and tailored care to your family.

Iryna $23 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, responsible, and experienced nanny who genuinely loves working with children. I have several years of childcare experience with children of different ages, from infants as young as 3 months old to school-age children. I also work in a school, which has given me valuable experience supporting children with learning, development, and everyday activities. I enjoy creating fun and educational activities, playing with children, helping with homework, and keeping them engaged and active. I’m patient, reliable, punctual, attentive, and always make children’s safety and well-being my top priority. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, tidying up, and preparing simple meals. I have a reliable car and can drive children when needed. I’m flexible with my schedule and available for date nights, evenings, weekends, and occasional overnight care. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and dependable part of your family and provide your children with safe, loving, and dependable care.

"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)."
