Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, WA

i have been working with kids for over 10 years, working with all different ages from 6 weeks old to teens! I was a nanny for years, including being an au pair twice. I have created preschool - style curriculum, worked with families who limit screen time, and adore playing pretend! I have also been a teaching artist in children's theater and a camp coach for circus skills. I love comedy, clowning, storytelling, the outdoors, exercise, and doing crafts. I am an advocate for autistic children and kids with ADHD. I have worked with so many neurodivergent kids, have taught neurodivergent-forward improv classes and I have co-created and facilitate a workshop for educators on how to create a neurodivergent-friendly classroom.

Karly made sure to ask questions and understand how to best care for our kid! She got him to bed and made sure he was entertained while we got to have dinner outside the house. Would definitely recommend her and already have her looking after our child on Friday!

Hi! I’m Seila, a University of Washington graduate with a background in public health and extensive experience working with children. I’ve worked as a substitute teacher, instructional assistant (in both the U.S. and abroad), and tutor, supporting kids from toddlers to middle school. I’m especially great with younger children—I’m patient, attentive, and naturally warm, while also providing structure and consistency. I also have strong experience with middle schoolers, supporting their learning, communication, and behavior in a calm and respectful way. I love engaging kids through play, reading, and creative activities that support their development. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to help with routines like meals, naps, and light tidying. I take pride in creating a safe, positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported.

Seila was great with my 10 y/o daughter. I highly recommend her.

Hello parents! My name is Sue, and I live in Ballard. I have years of childcare experience, including long-term nanny roles from 2017 to 2025, as well working as a bookkeeper. My most recent position I worked as a full time nanny for a 6 month old who has now moved onto a traditional daycare.  I am enthusiastic about finding a new family to provide care for as I genuinely enjoy building connections with children and helping them learn, play, and grow. Families I’ve worked with in the past have appreciated my reliability, creativity, and ability to balance fun with structure. I have fabulous letters of recommendation to send upon request. Look forward to meeting you!

Sue's years of experience shined through. She intuitively knew what to do to keep my kids engaged, even taking them outside for a bit of fun. She held and spoke to them with care, as if she had known known them for years.

Hello I am from Brazil, I came here to the USA through an exchange program to learn a new language and new culture. I am passionate about what I do, I love travel, photography, painting, and books. I cared for children of various ages and assisted with feeding, dressing, and daily activities. I believe in creating nurturing, safe environments to promote emotional, social, and intellectual growth. I provided safe transportation to and from activities and events. My strength is to engage with children on an individual basis to build positive, trusting relationships. I don't mind supporting household operations by completing laundry, cooking meals, and performing light cleaning.

"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)."
