Hi! My name is Yasmin. I’m available for child, pet, and household care services and would love to support local families who need an extra hand. I’ve been providing sitting care since I was a teen, supporting children of all ages. I’m a first-generation college graduate with a B.A. in Psychology (2021) and an M.Ed. in Special Education with an emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) (2025) from the University of Washington. I’ve worked in the field of ABA since 2021 supporting neurodiverse children and families across clinic, home, school, and community settings. I also offer pet care especially for cats (I have a sweet cat named Nova myself!) and light household help like organizing, and cleaning. Outside of work, I love exploring Seattle with friends, checking out new cafes and playing my switch!

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, WA

Hi families. My name is Julieth.I am a Spanish and English teacher. I have been working with my current family for 2 years, but they only need my help during the afternoons. I want to cover my mornings; however, I am open to work after 6pm and occasional weekends. I have had the opportunity to work with children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens. I genuinely enjoy engaging with children, fostering their growth, and creating a positive and fun atmosphere for them to thrive in. It brings me great joy to be a part of their journey and contribute to their overall development. I understand the importance of providing a structured yet flexible routine that aligns with the unique needs and interests of each child. Whether it's organizing stimulating activities, assisting with homework, or preparing nutritious meals, I strive to create an environment that promotes learning, creativity, and emotional well-being. My skill set includes: · Extensive experience in providing compassionate and responsible care for children of all ages. · Proficient in creating and implementing age-appropriate activities to stimulate cognitive, physical, and emotional development. · Excellent understanding of child development stages, including milestones and appropriate behavior management techniques. · Strong communication skills to establish open and honest communication with both children and parents. · Ability to maintain a safe and clean environment, prioritize safety measures, and handle emergency situations calmly and efficiently. · Willingness to help with light household tasks to support the smooth functioning of the household. I would be delighted to have the opportunity to meet with you and your family to discuss how I can contribute to your children's well-being and growth.

Julieth is a caring, intelligent, and one of the most responsible people that we have had the pleasure of working with. She is energetic and passionate, which makes her a perfect candidate for our toddler and while we we find it hard to manage a toddler and a baby together, it comes pretty natural to her. Adding to this, she figures out her back ups and saves us a bunch of time, when we need someone on short notice.

"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)."
