Booked by 3 families in Seattle, WA

Hello! My name's Emily, and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Washington. I've mainly worked with children in the K-5 age range, but I'm very open to babysitting children of younger ages as well! Most recently, this last summer I was employed as an Assistant Instructor at IslandWood, an environmental education day camp on Bainbridge Island. I've also worked as an After-School Counselor at Wedgwood Elementary School. Additionally, I have past experience as a babysitter with middle-school aged children. I have a Honda CR-V with four seats (three in the back seat, one in the front seat if old enough) if any type of driving is needed. If you would like to talk further or have any questions, feel free to contact me!

“The boys loved Emily. She did a great job. ”

Booked by 5 families in Seattle, WA

Hi! I’m Isabel! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable babysitter with several years of childcare experience, from babies and toddlers to older kids I especially enjoy caring for little ones and I’m very comfortable with the routines that come with them, including bottles and feeding, diaper changes, naps, soothing, playtime and bedtime. I know how important consistency is with babies so I always do my best to follow the routines and preferences parents have established at home With older kids I enjoy keeping them engaged with games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, or simply spending time doing the things they enjoy. I’m also comfortable preparing simple meals and snacks, helping with bath and bedtime routines and doing pick-ups and drop-offs when needed I’m attentive, calm, and affectionate and I genuinely enjoy building a connection with the kids I care for. I also value good communication with parents and want them to feel comfortable and confident while their little ones are with me I’m happy to help with light tidying related to the kids and I’m very comfortable around pets too I’d love to meet your family and see if I could be a good fit!

“Isabel did a great job taking care of our five year old daughter, who had a wonderful time. They played outside, baked, and talked. Isabel was punctual, communicative, and friendly. We hope to have her take care of our daughter in the future, and would highly recommend her to other parents. ”

Booked by 8 families in Seattle, WA

Hi! I’m Vera. I’m currently studying for my bachelor’s degree in Accounting and have been caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and older children through children’s camps, helping family members and day care. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority. I love creating fun, engaging activities that keep kids learning whether we’re painting, baking, riding bikes or scooters, visiting the skate park, practicing piano, guitar, or working through homework together. Along with childcare, I also offer household assistance, including meal prep, cooking, laundry, organizing, light housekeeping, errands, and transportation to and from school or activities. I’m comfortable with pets too.

“Vera was wonderful. I especially loved how she brought materials for creative activities like making slime.”

Booked by 6 families in Seattle, WA

Hello! My name is Unyoung. I love fostering curiosity, compassion and playfulness. Integrity and trust are sacred to me. Food and great conversation delight me and creative sparks are ticklishly fun. Besides the enriching experience as a mother, which has been the most important, I also have worked in retail, residential leasing, quality control and the restaurant industry. I would love to share time with a curious child or be an engaging conversationalist with the elderly. I also am very thrilled at the prospect of cat/dog/house sitting. I am available for date nights and have weekend flexibility as well. I hope to hear from you soon to see if your needs and my offerings would be an awesome match!

“We were so lucky to find Unyoung for a last minute babysitting job with our toddler! She made him feel at ease and kept him engaged for hours. Can’t wait to work with her again!”

"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)."
