I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person. I have over two years of experience as a preschool teacher, where I worked with children in early childhood education, helping them learn, play, and grow in a safe environment. I also have my STARS hours completed and I am CPR certified and First Aid certified for children, which gives parents peace of mind that safety is always my priority. Beyond my certifications, I truly enjoy working with kids, supporting their development, and creating fun, engaging activities that are also educational. Families can rely on me to be organized, attentive, and nurturing.

Hello! I’m Kimberly and I’ve been using UrbanSitter for 6 years! I began working with kids when I was around 16, starting with the kids of the teachers at my school as well as family members. After that, I helped my aunt often with her home daycare. I have nannied children of all ages. I’ve nannied for the same couple of families for the past 2 years. I enjoy doing activities with the kids and getting to know them. Other than nannying, I love to dance, hike, watch movies, and spend time with family and friends.

Hi- My name is Dylan! I enjoy partnering with parents to ensure children receive the nurturing, consistency, care, and fun they need. I am a kid at heart and love to get down on the floor (or up in a play structure) to play with kids, encouraging their imagination, doing age appropriate science and art projects, adventuring outdoors, and facilitating their brain development through play, reading, and singing. It is important to me to model empathy, respect, and acceptance with the goal of empowering children to solve problems. Additionally, I am very skilled at multi-tasking and time management to ensure the safety and well being of all children in my care. Biggest strength: I give kids the attention they deserve! I am regularly referred to by parents as the 'kid whisperer' or 'Pied Piper.' While some believe I have magical powers (especially toddlers!), in truth, I am simply present and attuned to their needs and wants, through the laughter and tears. Experience: I have over 15 years experience as a babysitter and nanny for children birth to 12 years, providing care for up to 5 children at a time in the family's home and traveling. Including extensive 24/7 care for parent work/fun trips, Philosophy: I feel strongly about following the family's routine and general style of parenting for consistency and a sense of safety for your kid(s). With that said, I engage a gentle parenting style and natural consequences rather than punishment, do not engage kids with screens (with minor exceptions), and love to help tidy, if you are open. Specifics: I have experience as a newborn night nanny, birth and postpartum doula. I have worked with single parent, blended, multiracial & LGBTQ+ families. I have worked with preemies, newborns, twins, neurodivergence (ADD/ADHD, autism, OCD), food allergies/special diets, and trauma (medical, bullying, and DV). Neurodivergence Experience: Nonverbal (with and without comm boards), toileting, care/support during meltdowns, sensory seeking, special food prep. Animals: I love them! Happy to pet, potty, and feed your fur family as well. Or ignore, in the case of an aloof kitty :-) Education: BA: Leadership & Human Services Antioch U - Seattle (2014) Infant/Child CPR/First Aid - 12/25 Newborn Care Specialist Certificate - 12/25 Work History: 10+ years in social work directly supporting homeless youth, mental illness and SUD in homeless adults, and medically fragile individuals. Happy to share ample glowing references!
