I’m a nanny based out of the Seattle area, and I’m hoping to connect with clients in the area! I’m a non smoker, I have my own transportation, and I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I have experience caring for children from infancy through 11 years, as well as experience caring for children with special needs. I am also bi-lingual (English and Brazilian Portuguese) and I understand some Spanish. I’m available for both in person and Zoom interviews, and am happy to provide references upon request.

Luwam $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Seattle, WA

Hi! My name is Luwam. I’m a caring and dependable caregiver with hands-on experience from raising my four children. I truly believe children learn and grow best when they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and that is the kind of environment I always strive to create. I have completed a certificate in Early Childhood Education and have a genuine passion for helping children explore, discover, and reach their full developmental potential. I am patient, responsible, and committed to supporting families by providing attentive, nurturing, and reliable care. I am also certified as a school volunteer and chaperone, which has given me additional experience supervising children during school activities, field trips, and group events. I currently work with children with special needs as an assistant, and I am always willing to learn more so I can better support every child’s unique needs.

Kasey $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I've been babysitting for over 10 years and truly enjoy working with children. I'm CPR certified and always put safety first. I'm energetic enough to keep up with busy kids, patient when they need extra support, and reliable so you can feel at ease when you're away. I also have my driver's license and can assist with transportation if needed. I'd love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for your family!

"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)."
