Booked by 1 family in Seattle, WA

Hi - My name is Tracy and I reside in Bellevue, WA. I am offering child care, and household services. I am searching for something temporary or part-time due too my current enrollment at the Bellevue College. Working with children has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I spent over three years as a preschool teacher, managing my own classroom of approximately 10 children and creating a safe engaging, and nurturing environment for learning and growth. In addition to teaching, I have worked as a private nanny since I was 18 years old and have experience as a summer camp counselor. As the youngest of four siblings and an involved aunt, I've had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, from newborns to preteens. My childcare experience includes school and activity transportation, homework assistance and tutoring, meal preparation, bed time routines, and even working as a travel nanny. I am currently CPR certified and hold a valid Washington State Enhanced Drivers License, allowing me to safely transport children when needed. I also have a Washington State Food Handler's Permit and am trained in proper food safety and meal preparation practices. Beyond childcare, I have experience working as a household assistant and am happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, organization, grocery shopping, errands, and other household tasks that help keep a busy home running smoothly. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking or paddle boarding. My perfect day includes a good book, a picnic, and body of water to swim in. I am easy going, dependable, and believe in finding joy in life's small moments. I strive to bring patience, positivity, and reliability to every family I work with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help make your day-to-day life a little easier.

Patient, kind, thoughtful and collaborative. My son took to her within 1 minute of meeting! Will definitely work with Tracy again!

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.

Hi! My name is Natalie and I am passionate about working with children. I have been babysitting and nannying non-stop since I was 12 years old. I love making meaningful connections with families, so I appreciate when I can become a frequent sitter for a family. I graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle in June 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies. I focused on environmental education in my undergrad, so I love taking kids outside to get them curious and excited about our beautiful planet. Most recently, I worked at a food bank in Seattle for two and a half years as a kitchen manager, creating ~1,000+ meals per day for low income/unhoused neighbors. This job was a dream job and also an incredibly difficult job that I’ve found myself needing a break from. Burn out is real in this world! Switching up my work and finding joy in play and caring for kids is exactly where I want to be. A little more about me: I’m an avid-outdoors person. I love backpacking, cycling, swimming, and skiing. In my free time I love exploring different mediums of art and creating in the kitchen! When I’m not nannying or babysitting, you can find me cooking something in the kitchen. I co-organize a free breakfast for unhoused neighbors once a week. I love to read— and would love to read to your little ones! Some of my most joyful memories from my own childhood are when the adults in my life would read me a bedtime story. I love the play and imagination a book can offer! I am happy to provide references from previous families beyond the Urban Sitter app reviews upon request. I look forward to getting to meet you and your family!

Natalie was amazing! Looking forward to having her over again, and would definitely recommend!

"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

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
