Booked by 3 families in Seattle, WA

Hi! I’m Taylor, I’m currently a college student and love working with families. I grew up helping in my grandmother’s childcare center and have been babysitting for six years with hands-on experience with children of all ages. I’m CPR certified and hold a Food Handler’s certificate, so safety and care are always top priorities. I’m a big fan of keeping kids engaged through play, activities, and creativity, I can entertain all day! I'm also a dog mom, formerly to a Bichon Frise and now to a Pitbull pup, as well as a regular volunteer for a pet rescue/adoption agency. I’m totally comfortable taking care of friendly animals of all sizes/breeds. While caring for your loved ones, I’m also happy to help out with any household tasks like dishes, clean-up, laundry, and taking out the trash. Looking forward to supporting your family!

Taylor was flexible and fun. The kids enjoyed the day with her and we would have her back again.

Hi, I’m Fatima! I’m an experienced and compassionate caregiver with a deep commitment to nurturing and supporting children’s growth and well-being. I’m skilled in creating a safe, engaging environment with activities that encourage positive behavior and learning. As a reliable driver, I’m dedicated to ensuring children’s safety during travel to school, activities, and playdates. I’m passionate about building trust-based, positive relationships with both children and families. I worked as an au pair with Cultural Care Agency for 2 years, where I gained valuable hands-on experience in childcare and cultural exchange. I’m also multilingual, with fluency in Italian, Arabic, Moroccan, and Spanish, which helps me connect with diverse families and foster a deeper cultural understanding.

Fatima was wonderful. She was very communicative, kind, prompt, and my girls had a lot of fun with her!

Booked by 1 family in Seattle, WA

I currently work at a daycare with ages from 4 months-3 years. I also have nannied with ages up to 5. I also have had experience with house sitting and dog watching with multiple dogs at a time.

Amia was our first non-family babysitter, so we were a little anxious, but she made us feel at ease instantly. She immediately clicked with our daughter and was very tolerant of our crazy dog. Our daughter had a lot of fun and was sad to see her go. We will definitely be using her again!

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 10 families in Seattle, WA

Hi! I’m Laura, a 23-year-old caregiver with 5 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I genuinely love spending time with kids and creating a safe, fun environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going on walks, and finding activities that keep kids engaged and active. I’m patient, attentive, and always try to match each child’s personality and needs. I’m also a big animal lover (especially dogs!), so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help with pet care too. In addition to childcare, I can help with light cleaning, organizing, and running errands to make your day a little easier. I’m reliable, responsible, and always aim to make families feel they can trust me with their home and their kids.

Laura did a wonderful job taking care of our daughter. Laura was very communicative, helpful, punctual, and professional, and got along really well with our five year old. She got her to take a nap and a bath (two things our daughter isn't super fond of), and she conversed and played well with her. We would highly recommend Laura to other parents, and hope we can have her come back again to take care of our daughter.

"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)."
