Booked by 4 families in Mercer Island, WA

Hi! My name is Cielo, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so your little ones are always in good hands. I have several years of experience working with children of different ages. My experience includes working as a Paraeducator with Seattle Public Schools and as an Early Head Start Home Visitor, supporting children’s learning, development, routines, and emotional well-being. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating age-appropriate activities that keep them engaged and having fun. I’m comfortable helping with meals, homework, playtime, bedtime routines, and keeping children on their regular schedules. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and believe communication with families is very important. My goal is to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your family and caring for your little ones! 💕

“Cielo was on time and very responsive. I have two very active boys and she kept them engaged and happy all afternoon. We will definitely hire her again. ”

$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."

"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)."
