Hi, my name is Kim. I’m a warm, kind-hearted, and caring person who loves spending time with children and sharing in their youthful, energetic spirit. I’m a reliable and responsible adult with good judgment and many years of experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children. I currently care for several families on a regular basis during the week. I am currently looking to connect with one more family in the Bellevue or Newcastle area. I’m self-motivated, highly organized, and also a great cook — happy to help with light meal prep if needed. I value working with families who see their nanny as part of the family, and I’m looking for a long-term position where I can build lasting bonds with the children. I have an inquisitive mind, a love of learning, and a genuine desire to help out wherever needed around the home. I’m easygoing, dependable, and always eager to lend a hand.

“Kim took care of my mother. First time worked out well. Used translator app.”

Introduction for a Job Offer: Childcare My name is Natalia, I am 28 years old, a physiotherapist by profession, and I am from Colombia. I have four years of experience working in the pediatric ICU, which has allowed me to develop strong skills in caring for children, even in situations that require special sensitivity and professionalism. Additionally, as a physiotherapist, I understand the importance of exercise and physical activity for both children and older adults, enabling me to provide comprehensive care that promotes physical and emotional well-being. I am also qualified to offer support for specific care that older adults may require. Lastly, I have a valid driver’s license, which allows me to adapt to the job’s mobility needs. My commitment is to provide a safe, positive, and enriching environment for those under my care.

“Was wonderful with our 2 under 2. Our son warmed up to her quickly and was even sad when she had to leave. She even left a premade bottle for right after to left.”

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!”

"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)."
