I’ve been working as a babysitter for 8Y+. I have lots of experience and confidence working with children of different age groups. I’m active in the app looking for one time jobs, date night and weekend babysitting. I’m trustworthy and very responsible, so if I accept your request I’ll be there on time or even 10 minutes early. Just check with me, if I’m available I’m gonna love to help you out.

Patricia was so nice and caring. We felt safe with her in our home taking care of my daughter.

Thank you so much for considering me to care for your little one! My name is Kauany, I’m 26, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’m currently finishing a 1.5-year contract with an amazing family and looking for a new position to start mid October I’m located in Fremont and looking for a family in the area or anywhere in North Seattle. I have 7 years of childcare experience, mostly with infants and toddlers, and I’m a very hands-on, high-energy nanny who loves keeping little ones engaged and having fun! I’m primarily looking for two families with two infants who are interested in starting a nanny share. I’m CPR/First-Aid certified (freshly renewed), have all my vaccines up to date, own a reliable car, and have a clean driving record. I’d be happy to share references from previous families once we’ve had a chance to chat! 🩵

Kauany's been great! She watched my kids a couple evenings while we were visiting Seattle. My kids( 5 and 2) are new to traveling so wasn't sure how it would go, but everything went smoothly.

Hi there! I am an experienced nanny and sitter as well as a former preschool and daycare teacher. I have STARS training, two bachelor degrees, reliable transportation and a clean background. I have been working with children for the last 20 years and really enjoy it! Children have always been my passion, and I haven't found anything more rewarding than teaching and taking care of children. For fun I enjoy movies, music, arts and crafts, writing, photography, road trips and spending time with my dog.

Alicia was friendly and great with our toddler! Would work with her again!

"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)."
