Amia 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kent, WA

I currently work at a daycare with ages from 4 months-3 years. I also have nannied with ages up to 5. I also have had experience with house sitting and dog watching with multiple dogs at a time.

Amia was our first non-family babysitter, so we were a little anxious, but she made us feel at ease instantly. She immediately clicked with our daughter and was very tolerant of our crazy dog. Our daughter had a lot of fun and was sad to see her go. We will definitely be using her again!

Janet 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Kent, WA

Hi! I'm Janet, a dependable, energetic caregiver who loves helping families. As a working mom of two amazing humans (14 and 11), I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I believe raising kids takes a village, and I strive to be a safe, reliable, and nurturing part of yours. I currently work for Mary Bridge Therapies at MultiCare and bring over 20 years of CPR and First Aid training, along with nearly 22 years in the dental field. My healthcare background has taught me patience, compassion, attention to detail, and how to build genuine, trusting relationships with families. I'm also a huge animal lover! I have two cats, Pumpkin and Dewey, and I love both cats and dogs. Whether it's story time, homework help, outdoor play, or caring for your pets, I'm happy to jump in. I'm currently earning my Bachelor's degree in Data Science at Arizona State University while learning Tagalog and balancing life as a mom. I joined UrbanSitter because I enjoy spending time with children and pets and wanted to do more meaningful work while pursuing my degree. I'm bubbly, outgoing, dependable, and love connecting with people. I'd be honored to care for your family and provide a fun, safe, and positive environment for your children and pets.

Isabella 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Kent, WA

Hi families! My name is Isabella and I have experience working with children here in the U.S. through the Au Pair program, where I cared for kids of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged children. That experience helped me learn how to adapt to different routines, handle responsibilities, and connect with kids in a positive way. I enjoy spending time with children because every day is different — whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, playing outside, or keeping them entertained with simple activities. I like to create a safe and caring environment while also making sure kids are having fun. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), responsible, and easygoing. Families who have worked with me usually describe me as patient and trustworthy. I’m happy to support with light household tasks related to the kids if needed, and I’m flexible when it comes to schedules. I look forward to meeting new families and being a reliable extra hand when you need one!

I found Isabella on a short late notice, and she was able to accommodate me, she’s very Punctual , very communicative, and took care of my daughter, like if it was me. I appreciate it her so much. I would definitely recommend.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kent, WA

Hello! I am a daycare teacher at a big chain daycare. I typically work with infants but also work with kids up to age 6. I have all my childcare trainings completed, including CPR, 30hr child care basics, WA Initial certificate, food workers permit and more. I am also a mom of 2 girls (4 and 2yrs).

We had a wonderful experience with Teresa! She did an incredible job taking care of our baby and handled all the feedings and diaper changes with total ease. You can really tell they have a wealth of experience from their time working at a daycare. On top of being highly capable and attentive, they were perfectly punctual and so incredibly friendly. We felt completely comfortable leaving our little one in their care and would highly recommend them to any 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)."
