Sumaya $21 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Seattle, WA

Hi! My name is Sumaya, and I am currently a high school senior, looking for part-time work as a babysitter. I have afternoon and evening availability. I am interested in taking care of kids. I have experience in child care from working with kids at my volunteering/mentoring program. Last year I worked at a summer camp for kids ages 5-14, and that has expanded my experience. I truly enjoy taking care of and hanging out with children. I am good at helping with homework, playing games, learning new skills, having fun, and more. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Laura 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with lifelong experience supporting children, adults, seniors, and pets, along with hands-on experience in household management and housekeeping. I raised two daughters and genuinely love caring for children and pets. I’ve had pets my entire life, regularly pet sit for friends, and have supported a loved one with Alzheimer’s, which strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm under pressure. In addition to caregiving, I’m highly comfortable managing the day-to-day needs of a home. This includes housekeeping, organization, meal prep support, errands, scheduling, and helping maintain a calm, well-run household. I take pride in creating environments that feel safe, clean, and supportive for everyone who lives there. I recently moved to Seattle to be closer to my adult daughter, who is late-diagnosed autistic and lives independently. While she works full time and manages her own household, having me nearby for simple accommodations, structure, and support has been helpful. That experience has deepened my understanding of neurodiversity, executive-function support, and respectful, person-centered care. I truly enjoy being around children, pets, and seniors, and I’ve found that they’re naturally drawn to me. I bring a calm, reassuring presence and am equally comfortable supporting emotional needs, daily routines, and household flow. I’m primarily seeking part-time caregiving, house manager, or household support roles, and I would also consider a full-time caregiving position if it’s the right fit.

“Laura has dog sat my pets both big and large in the past before. Whether it was our elderly shitzu or our Saint Bernard she handled both of them amazingly. I could not trust anyone more with my pets. Even with their different needs and personalities I know they are well taken care of.”

Shannon $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Shannon. I was recently laid off after working at Amazon for the last 6 years and am returning to childcare as I figure out my next career move. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. I am the oldest of 5, with two siblings 10 years younger than me, so childcare was my inherited first job. I became the go to babysitter in my neighborhood until college. At 12 I started an apprenticeship with a dance instructor and taught children ages 2 to 14 for over a decade. Throughout college I ran the afterschool program at one of the schools in the Kyrene School District in Tempe, Arizona. I managed our “Kindergarten Club” to separate the younger kids and give them more individualized activities and attention. I instituted a reading program and have a lifelong passion for childhood literacy. I returned to childcare while getting my MBA from Seattle Pacific University and became a nanny to a two year old girl from 2[removed]. Before Amazon I was working as an interior designer and have a gift for organizing and decorating a home. I am available to run errands and help with household chores or even organize that closet you’ve been neglecting. I have the friendliest miniature long haired dachshund named Fonda and would love to care for your animals as well!

"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)."
