I live in auburn, Wa. Hi my name is Yuriana but I like to go by Yuri I’m 25 years old. I have 7+ years of experience as a nanny/sitter. I graduated high school in 2019 and from evergreen beauty college in 2024 from shoreline north seattle. I am currently looking for occasional/datenights or my next longterm nanny contract with the soonest start with summer of 2026. Currently have late evenings, Wednesdays and weekends available. I’m Mexican and speak fluent Spanish. I’ve been nannying through UrbanSitter for the past 5 years and I love it! I grew up watching after my little sister. when my older brother had his kids (twin boys) I helped out a lot and got to have such a sweet and close bond with them. From when they were newborns I was always around and helping them out with showering, feeding, changing, playing and putting to sleep. They are now 10 years old . I still see them and hangout with them every other weekend fulfilling my auntie duties! I would say my strength is patience and my weakness is taking initiative or leading. I am a very laid back person and very calm. Tend to go with the flow and get to know others first before getting comfortable. In my free time I go on hikes, read, paint, do puzzles, and recently started doing surprise jewelry reveals! I’m comfortable with kids all ages, doing a variety of task from changing diapers, feeding, bathing, putting down to sleep, going outdoors, doing activities inside, homework help, help with household chores including laundry. Also okay with pet care. I’m comfortable with pets I have a doggo myself. A Husky pit mix. *cpr certified and fully vaccinated and boosted as well.

Booked by 1 family in Kent, WA

Hello! My name is Alyssa, I love kids and animals, and am a mother to two beautiful kids, and one handsome cat. I understand how difficult it is to coordinate schedules and find care for the ones who need us most; you need something that not only fits your budget, but also care that meets the level of attentiveness and thoughtfulness that your kids and fur-babies deserve! If you are not happy with public childcare or kennels with large class sizes (or, for those utilizing animal care, cages; ew) and the hefty price for subpar conditions, I get it! You want care that feels like home, feels like family, and takes into consideration the enrichment aspect of your loved one's day. I strive to encourage a growth mindset, connect with nature/get sunshine and fresh air, establish healthy habits, and promote critical thinking in children. For pets, I lead with a warm disposition and exercise gentle yet firm assertiveness where necessary, and genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals; most experience with dogs and cats, but am open to other animals with detailed directions. I am punctual, personable, and remain flexible and graceful under changing conditions. I am a good choice for those who need last-minute care, care during vacations or emergencies, care that fills the gaps between work and school (including transportation), or care on an occasional/semi-regular basis. I do strive to incorporate ways to provide enrichment, learning, and engaging activities as someone who personally has seen and benefited from allowing my own kids to participate in classes, co-ops, and homeschooling. As someone who also felt the same growing pains through motherhood of coordinating schedules, finances, and proper nurturing for my loved ones, I want to be a solution for other families who face the same pressures.

“Alyssa is great. My kids instantly took to her, which I was happily surprised by She is great at managing my fresh walker and my toddlers needs. She is also great at keeping my kids away from me when I am working from home. Finally, she doesn't mind the constant outdoor time my kids demand. ”

"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)."
