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.

Husneya $35 per hour for 1 child

As the oldest daughter in a family of seven, caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. I helped raise my younger siblings, who are now between the ages of 11 and 14, which gave me years of hands-on childcare experience from a young age. I have also worked with children in a school in Alberta and currently work with Safe Space Childcare Services, where I care for children of all ages. These experiences have taught me how to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment while meeting each child’s individual needs. I am patient, nurturing, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, or enjoying creative activities, I always strive to make children feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a passion for cooking and enjoy preparing nutritious, homemade meals and snacks when needed. I look forward to supporting your family with dependable and compassionate 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)."
