Hi there, thank you for considering me as your babysitter! My name is Tanya, I’m a wife of 9 years and a mama of 2. I'm CPR certified and have 11 years of paid Nanny experience. I absolutely adore working with children and wouldn’t change it for the world. Over the years of my career I've learned to be patient and work with the child(ren) through any obstacle we face, to their comfortability and what's best for the situation we are resolving, along with entertaining the heck out of them, of course!! I do not drink nor smoke so I can promise you that nothing will ever hinder my awareness on the job and your little ones will always have 100% of my love and attention at all times! I’m really excited about the 100+ families I’ve babysat for through UrbanSitter, and looking forward to connecting with more. Thank you so much for reading a little bit about me, can’t wait to meet you and your kiddos!

I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, & crafts. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks.

Antonette was great with the girls (5yo and my teen)! She was babysitting them while we were staying at a hotel in Seattle, and was great about taking them to the pool and swimming, getting them fed, etc. Arrived on time. Would definitely book again!

Hey there, I’m Julia – Ready to make your home life a little smoother. Hi, I’m 28 years old and have been working with kids since I was 16. I’ve cared for babies, toddlers, school-aged kids—you name it. I’m also a college student with a background in healthcare and a lot of experience helping families keep things running smoothly. I’ve worked in a woman's hospital, trained as an EMT (and worked in the field for two years), most recently spent three years as an Au Pair in the U.S., helping families manage everything from busy school mornings to bedtime routine - and even running errands that they don't have time time. Here’s what I can help with: - Morning routines, breakfast, and school prep. - Keeping the house clean and organized. - Grocery runs, errands, and laundry. - Meal prep and dinner help - Picking up kids, driving to activities, and evening wind-down I’m extroverted, dependable, and love getting kids engaged with creative games, crafts, and outdoor play. I also understand the importance of helping parents feel supported and stress-free. If you’re looking for someone who can jump in and make your home run a little smoother, I’d love to connect.

Hi my name is Paula I am an Irish Primary school teacher (elementary teacher) I have my Honors Bachleors Degree in Early Childcare and Education where I’m an Early childcare practitioner along with my Masters of Education where I have been Primary teaching (Elementary and Middle school) for the last 5 years in Ireland I absolutely love what I do. I was also a preschool (daycare) and after school teacher for 2 years in Ireland before I became a Primary Teacher. I have years of experience working with all age groups of children I love what I do, my favourite things to do are singing, acting, music,and art with the children, go for walks to the park, creativity is so important for little ones to learn and develop. I have my child care protection and CPR certificates both from Ireland and from America and my garda vetting. In January 2012 I moved to San Francisco where I had the pleasure to be a nanny for 2 and half year old twins for a beautiful family from 2012 to 2013 then I was a full time nanny working with another amazing family and three beautiful children from December 2012 until August 2015 during this time at weekends I would also do some babysitting on ‘Urbansitter’ and I loved the families I got to know through this app. Then at the end of August I decided to move home and become a teacher. I now have moved to Seattle with my husband and I am hoping to find some babysitting work here and teach also. My past experience consists of fundraising for children in South Africa. I did volunteer work in August, 2009 and setup fundraisers and raised 6,000 Euros for the children. If you would like to know more about me message me, thanks for reading this Paula. Unfortunately I am very allergic to hair on animals so I cant be around dogs and cats in the same room which is really unfortunate as I love animals too.

Paula helped us out when we had a last minute need - she was terrific and put my mind at ease immediately. Patient, caring and a lot of fun, our one year old had a great day with Paula - she even sent us photos throughout the day. Would highly recommend!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
