Hi!!! My name is Christina, I’m 26 years old with over 5 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter. From Infant to teenagers. Child/CPR Certified. I’m responsible, caring, fun, and adventurous. I absolutely love kids and enjoy creating an environment where they feel safe, loved, and supported. I have experience with diaper changes, feeding, bath time, nap routines, and keeping kids engaged with fun, educational activities. I love reading stories, doing crafts, going for walks, and spending time at the park or playground. I believe in the power of words of affirmation and creating positive, meaningful interactions that support each child’s development. I pay close attention to detail and can also help with light household tasks related to the children. If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and fun to care for your little ones, I’d love to connect! References available upon request.

Wonderful with my two boys. She is so professional and prompt. Would love to work with you again!

Booked by 4 families in Mercer Island, WA

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.

Aracely

Mercer Island
$29 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Mercer Island, WA

My name is Aracely , and I am a 29 year-old dedicated childcare provider from Bolivia. With a strong passion for child development, I have gained valuable experience in childcare, focusing on creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children. My goal is to support children's growth through creative activities, positive reinforcement, and structured routines that foster learning and emotional well-being. I take pride in building meaningful connections with children and their families, understanding their unique needs, and providing reliable care. My experience working with children of different ages and backgrounds has strengthened my ability to adapt

Bottom line: Book Aracely without any hesitation! She was amazing with my high-energy 4 yr old son and 'stranger danger'-fearing 7 mo old daughter! For my son, she did arts and crafts projects with him and lots of imaginative play.  She was a natural with my daughter, immediately putting her to ease. After just one comment, she very quickly learned my daughter's routine and put her down for a nap, changed her, and fed her. During my daughter's wake window, Aracely read books and engaged her with toys. I was more comfortable having my kids in Aracely's care after just an hour than some of my past nannies who were with our family for months. She's calm, nurturing, and a wonderful communicator. She radiates warmth and just after she left, my son asked when Ms. Aracely will be back. I'll book her again in a heartbeat... unless another family beats me to it.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
