Amanda $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I have worked with twins, infants, and children with special needs, both in Brazil and in the United States. I truly love creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel happy. I am patient, responsible, organized, and dependable. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, preparing healthy meals, keeping children’s spaces clean and organized, and maintaining routines. I believe in open communication with families and always treat every child with kindness, respect, and genuine care. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, pet care, and keeping the home organized. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats and enjoy being around animals. Families describe me as trustworthy, warm, proactive, and attentive. My goal is to become a reliable extension of your family and provide the highest level of care and support. I look forward to meeting your family!

Shannon $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Seattle, WA

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!

Hi! My name is Milena and I am currently a l junior at the University of Washington majoring in Finance and Marketing. I am offering child care and pet care services. Having such a big family, I love watching kids. I’ve grown up playing soccer so I am a little outdoorsy. I don’t have experience watching pets but I have a cat of my own so I am open to it.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Seattle, WA

Hi, I’m Kubra. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I come from a large family with 17 nieces and nephews, so I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for babies, toddlers, and school-aged children. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, playing games, spending time outdoors, or helping with homework, I enjoy keeping children engaged while making sure they’re well cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and responsible, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident, leaving their children in someone else’s care. My goal is to make every child feel safe, happy, and cared for, while giving parents peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family.

"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)."
