Over the last 13 years I have gained childcare experience ranging from fostering infants to tutoring elementary students, being a nanny, baby sitting, and various other childcare positions (a majority of my experience is with 0-4 years). In my spare time I enjoy traveling, self educating on foreign languages and countries, and creating memories. It is ideal for me to establish with a family who is seeking long term childcare. I am willing to vacation with the family as well as drop off/pick up if age appropriate. I am experienced with light house work for child as well as meal prep and pet friendly. CPR, First aid, blood borne pathogen certified, Valid Driver's license, continuing Early childhood Education credits, experience with sleep training. Availability: Full time shifts Monday - Friday starting as early as 5:00 am ending no later then 5:00 pm (No more then 10 OT hours)

We had a really positive experience with Princess! She helped us out in when we were in a bind with our approaching 5 & 2 year old kiddos. She brings a very calm & positive energy. She came prepared with bubbles and other fun activities for them but asked me what I was okay with before doing anything She kept the kids active and outdoors most of the day which was AMAZING to have them burn off energy. The kids acclimated to her super well & by the time it was time to say goodbye, my son made a comment that he wished she could stay forever (which is not something he’s ever said to any prior sitters we’ve had) She was punctual, and seems to genuinely love children; which our family could feel Look forward to having her back!

Hi there! I currently work at UW in the College of Education and I’m looking for some part time work outside of my regular work hours. I've worked with kids my whole life. I'm the oldest of 7, and I've always helped out at the house. In the past, I worked as a camp counselor at an outdoor camp based in San Francisco. I got to work with kids 4-12 and teach them awesome things like kayaking, mountain biking, and SUPing. In addition, I have experience working as a nanny to an infant throughout college. I've always loved working with kids, and I love the constant energy! I will always prioritize your child’s safety and I have a background in child psychology from UW. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I’m so excited to get to know your family.

Booked by 4 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.

"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)."
