Anairis $26 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kent, WA

Hello my name is Anairis but you can call me Ana :). I am a full time nursing student with 2 years nursing assistant experience with older adults. Working with older adults has been a joy, I love building strong connections and being a reliable person for them. I’m able to assist with activities of daily living. I occasionally babysit my nieces and nephews whose ages range from 10 months- 10years. I’m currently a babysitter for a family, taking care of a 2,5, and 8 year old. I hope to work in pediatrics because children are curious and fun to be around. I’d be happy to tutor as well. I can get creative with dancing, story telling, cooking and crafts. I have 1 dog who is 9 years old but I love all pets! I am BLS/CPR certified, first aid certified, and nursing assistant certified. I have a driver license and car. I love interacting with people of all ages and pets!

Clara María $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Clara. Taking care of children has always come naturally to me. I helped raise my grandson from the day he was born until now, he’s seven, and being part of his life has taught me so much about patience, creativity, and how every stage brings something special. I’ve also cared for newborns and toddlers, giving them lots of attention, helping them start talking, and teaching simple Spanish words through play, songs, and stories. I love seeing how quickly they pick things up when learning feels fun. Cooking is one of my favorite ways to show care. I enjoy making healthy, homemade meals with Latin American flavor, rice, soups, arepas, and sweet plantains that kids usually love. Families tell me I bring calm energy and warmth into their homes. I believe children grow best when they feel loved, safe, and understood.

$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kent, 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.

"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)."
