Aicha $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Aicha, and I’m a caring, responsible babysitter with hands-on experience taking care of children. I’m the oldest sibling in my family, and I’ve spent many years helping care for my two younger sisters, especially my youngest sister, who I’ve helped look after for most of her life. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with kids and understand the importance of patience, routines, and keeping children safe and comfortable. I’ve helped with meals, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained in a positive way. I’m calm, attentive, and always make sure kids feel cared for and supported. I take responsibility seriously and know how important trust is when it comes to childcare. I’m dependable, respectful, and easy to communicate with. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning or tidying up after the kids if needed.

Booked by 1 family in Mercer Island, WA

Hello! I am a daycare teacher at a big chain daycare. I typically work with infants but also work with kids up to age 6. I have all my childcare trainings completed, including CPR, 30hr child care basics, WA Initial certificate, food workers permit and more. I am also a mom of 2 girls (4 and 2yrs).

We had a wonderful experience with Teresa! She did an incredible job taking care of our baby and handled all the feedings and diaper changes with total ease. You can really tell they have a wealth of experience from their time working at a daycare. On top of being highly capable and attentive, they were perfectly punctual and so incredibly friendly. We felt completely comfortable leaving our little one in their care and would highly recommend them to any family!

Catherine $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Catherine—a warm, reliable, and playful caregiver with years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve worked as a Certified Infant & Toddler Teacher and a Certified Behavior Technician, and I’ve supported many amazing kids, including those with developmental and neurodivergent needs. I’ve recently finished my masters in Clinical Mental Health counseling and looking for babysitting opportunities while I build my caseload. I am passionate about creating safe, nurturing spaces for kids to thrive, especially when parents need a little extra support. Families often say I bring a calm, engaging energy that helps their children feel seen and supported. I love being outdoors, exploring new places, and enjoying a good cup of coffee. I tend to click best with families who are kind, inclusive, and open to a little fun!

"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)."
