Booked by 10 families in Seattle, WA

Hi! My name is Christine! I am a mental health counselor desiring to work part-time/per diem for nannying and babysitting. I currently live near Green Lake. I very much enjoy working with kids, exploring new places (especially outdoors!), playing games, crafting, and finding creative ways to have fun with kids. Most of my professional and volunteer experience has been working with kids, and I desire to continue to work with children in therapeutic settings in the future. I have worked in preschool and nannying settings for the past year and half, and prior have worked with children therapeutically in an inpatient psychiatric setting, day and overnight camps, and babysitting, mostly with infants through 12 year olds. In previous nannying and babysitting, I help with laundry, housekeeping, and meal and snack prep, and am open to doing that alongside child care as well. Personally, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, decorating, cooking and baking, and spending time with friends. I very much appreciate you considering me to work with your family!

Hello, my name is Jacqueline (Jacquie), I’m 24 years old and I’m a responsible, patient person dedicated to childcare. In my country I’m a psychopedagogue, which has given me a solid training in the development and learning of children, as well as experience working with different ages and needs. I enjoy creating a safe, loving and stimulating environment, supporting children in their growth through educational and creative activities. I always maintain clear communication with families and adapt to their routines and values. I promise to offer reliable, respectful and professional care.

Booked by 18 families in Seattle, WA

Hi, my name is Nina and I moved up here about a year ago from Florida, now I’m in school for nursing. I’m available for babysitting, senior care, and house services. Im just looking for side work to help pay for school. Back home I was teaching kids at children’s church ages 2-10. Also I did baby sit a few kids after church at their houses per the parents request (ages 3,7, and 10). I’ve grown up mainly around older people and enjoy spending time with them as well. My grandparents run a cleaning business back home which I helped with a lot too if other services are needed. Right now I work at Seattle children’s hospital and at a clinic for children on the spectrum. I also have a lot of back ground volunteering in SPED classrooms and ASD clinics. Since I work in a clinical setting I am CPR, BLS, FIRST AID, AND CPI certified. Overall I’m really into music, reading, and the arts. So I always find something fun to do with the kids whether it’s just dance, teaching instruments, drawing, karaoke, teaching a card games, helping with homework, or reading them a story! I like cook for my siblings and other kids I have babysat, so if needed I can cook as well.

“Nina was very responsive with the scheduling process. My three year old had a great time playing and being read to. Nina did great with cleaning up after feeding him. Highly recommend her and hope to work again with her. ”

"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)."
