Booked by 2 families in Seattle, WA

My name is Aracely , and I am a 29 year-old dedicated childcare provider from Bolivia. With a strong passion for child development, I have gained valuable experience in childcare, focusing on creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children. My goal is to support children's growth through creative activities, positive reinforcement, and structured routines that foster learning and emotional well-being. I take pride in building meaningful connections with children and their families, understanding their unique needs, and providing reliable care. My experience working with children of different ages and backgrounds has strengthened my ability to adapt

Bottom line: Book Aracely without any hesitation! She was amazing with my high-energy 4 yr old son and 'stranger danger'-fearing 7 mo old daughter! For my son, she did arts and crafts projects with him and lots of imaginative play.  She was a natural with my daughter, immediately putting her to ease. After just one comment, she very quickly learned my daughter's routine and put her down for a nap, changed her, and fed her. During my daughter's wake window, Aracely read books and engaged her with toys. I was more comfortable having my kids in Aracely's care after just an hour than some of my past nannies who were with our family for months. She's calm, nurturing, and a wonderful communicator. She radiates warmth and just after she left, my son asked when Ms. Aracely will be back. I'll book her again in a heartbeat... unless another family beats me to it.

Anna-Marie $25 per hour for 1 child

Currently working in a preschool as a substitute, I have an open schedule here and there! Overall, I have a background of five years working at summer camps, two years in an after-school program, and extensive babysitting experience. I bring a wealth of knowledge in childcare. I enjoy connecting with children through arts and crafts and am known for my friendly and attentive personality. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including those with special needs, and I’m well-informed about diverse developmental needs, ensuring every child feels safe, respected, and encouraged to express themselves. In addition to my experience with children, I have a strong background in caregiving for adults with special needs, which has deepened my ability to provide patient, compassionate, and attentive care. Additionally, I have experience taking care of pets of all kinds, making me adaptable to any household situation. My goal is always to create a nurturing, enjoyable environment where both children and parents feel confident and comfortable.

Booked by 2 families in Seattle, WA

Hi! My name is Monet. I’m 27 years old and originally from Thailand. I am offering child care, senior care, and household support. I have experience working with children of all ages. I worked as a kindergarten and elementary teacher in Thailand for 4 years, and I have spent the last 2 years as an au pair caring for infants and young children. I especially enjoy cooking, doing arts and crafts, and creating age-appropriate developmental activities. I grew up around pets including dogs, cats, and fish so I am very comfortable working in homes with animals. I have also provided senior care for my own grandparents and can assist with cooking, light cleaning, driving to appointments, and daily tasks. I am reliable, patient, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for the families I work with.

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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
