Sarah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sarah and am a senior at the UW studying Geography and Information systems (GIS). I’m born and raised in Seattle and have been working with kids for the past few years. I’ve worked at a daycare, where I spent a year specializing in the toddler (2-year-old) room, as well as volunteering at elementary summer camps. Right now, I spend my weekends teaching a program for 8-12 year olds, and last year, I worked with a nonprofit running after-school activities for kids who needed extra support. Family is important to me, last year, I had the joy of helping care for my infant nephew when my sister welcomed him into the world. From infants to pre-teens, I love connecting with kids through play and learning. When I’m not babysitting or studying, you’ll find me curled up with a book or when I can find the time exploring new hiking trails.

"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)."
