Rent an Auntie! Remember when we all lived in the village or tribe and taking care of each other, our children and our elders was as easy as asking an Auntie to come over and help out? Most of us don’t. But not one to let that stop me, I have claimed my role as “Auntie” both personally and professionally. Do you need childcare? Pet care? Eldercare? I’m your Auntie! CHILDCARE Personally I have many nieces/nephews/extended family that I have helped raise in one way or another, which weaves into my professional experiences as a teacher. Both of which are some of the most fulfilling of my life. From my time as an early childhood educator through my years as teacher and director of a K-8 forest school, being gifted with the wonder and excitement of what it feels like to be a guide to these geniuses that were unfolding in their own unique ways, set me into my purpose. I love to water the flowers and watch them grow. And my training in the Woldorf approach, education in developmental psychology, and experience in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has given me plenty to water with! One of my super powers is inventing fun and creative projects and activities especially tailored to the needs and interests of the kids in my care. Is tutoring needed? Is there a lot of energy that needs an outlet? Outdoor activities? Plant ID hikes? A creative outlet? Painting? Sculpture? Board games? Teach cooking or just prepare meals? I’m your Auntie! Do you need someone who has experience with special needs children and those moving through the challenges of ASD? I’m your Auntie! Or someone who used to be a volunteer cuddler at Children’s Hospital to cuddle your little one? Change diapers? Clean messy high chair hijinks? I’m your Auntie! PET CARE Would you like someone whose mom was a veterinarian and has basic animal healthcare techniques and training? Someone who taught on a farm and adores all creatures? Someone who loves belly rubs and ear scritches? I’m your fur baby’s Auntie! ELDERCARE Does Grandfather want someone to listen to his stories? Would Grandmother like someone to cook her famous recipe for dinner? A puzzle to finish? Cards to play? A watercolor to paint? I’m your Auntie! Would you feel more secure with someone who is CPR/First Aid Certified? Who has handled multiple emergencies with both kids and pets? Call up your Auntie!

Shannon is sooo great with our girls 6 and 4 and baby boy. Highly recommend!

Booked by 2 families in Kirkland, WA

Hi, I’m Kubra. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I come from a large family with 17 nieces and nephews, so I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for babies, toddlers, and school-aged children. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, playing games, spending time outdoors, or helping with homework, I enjoy keeping children engaged while making sure they’re well cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and responsible, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident, leaving their children in someone else’s care. My goal is to make every child feel safe, happy, and cared for, while giving parents peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family.

Hi, I’m Molly but most people call me Moon. I am currently going to school at Edmonds College. I’m 20 years old and am currently offering child care and pet care. I worked as a before and after school instructor at Hollywood Hill Elementary through the YMCA for 2 years. I also have experience working at an early childhood daycare and volunteering at a preschool. Through all of this I’ve gotten a lot of hands on experience in childcare, as well as many online trainings and certifications. I have my CPR and First Aid certifications, I also have a drivers license and a clean driving record. On top of my experience in childcare I have a long history with pets. I grew up with many animals and often pet sit for my mom who has dogs, cats, and chickens. I am comfortable with all animals from big dogs to small reptiles. I am also comfortable giving medications if needed.

She was great with the kids and they genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. We’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking 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."

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)."
