Abba 6 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child

Peace to you! My name is Abba. I grew up in Port Orchard, and have spent most of my adult life in Seattle. I enjoy being active and exploring my environment, which is what has always drawn me to child care! I most recently nannied a sweet and energetic 2 year old and had been working with the same family since October 2022. I’ve worked at kids camps, baby sat for years, and have 12 nieces and nephews whom I have often taken care of and helped raise. My favorite part about childcare is the excitement children often bring to any kind of activity, there is so much learning, exploring, and growing happening in our early years . As an adult its nice to be reminded of the everyday 'awes' of being a human! Not to mention, a privilege to take part in so many of someone’s “firsts”. I truly feel fulfilled in spending time and caring for children, and value mutual respect between kids and care-givers. I implement developmentally appropriate activities of all kinds into daily routines, to encourage habitual learning. I am an artist, which translates into fun crafts and sensory exploration activities for kids! I love the outdoors rain or shine and don’t mind facilitating activities that may be deemed “messy”. Additionally, I have a deep love of gardening and growing food, as well as participating in various forms of community. I value respect and care between myself and parents, as we are a team! I would love to chat and get to know you and your family, I also have a detailed resume I can share, I encourage you to reach out! Adult/Infant CPR & First Aid certified

Abba was a full-time nanny four our daughter from age 1-3, and we were devastated when our daughter graduated onto preschool and Abba wasn't here every day anymore. I cannot recommend Abba enough - they're unbelievably caring, professional, easy-going, dynamic, communicative, and they always went above and beyond what was expected. You're lucky to get Abba as a sitter.

Booked by 1 family in Southworth, WA

Hi, I’m Summer! I’m currently a part time nanny for twin 5 year olds and looking to pick up extra hours while I’m on break from school. I study Speech Pathology online and got certified this year to teach kids yoga which I’ve been loving and teach on occasion. I also have experience teaching swim lessons and have several years of childcare experience with kids of all ages, including multiple sets of twins. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun activities that help them learn and grow.

Summer was fantastic! She was professional, warm and engaging and my 10 year old daughter loved her from the second she walked through the door. Will definitely hire Summer again!

Booked by 10 families in Southworth, WA

Hi! I’m Laura, a 23-year-old caregiver with 5 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I genuinely love spending time with kids and creating a safe, fun environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going on walks, and finding activities that keep kids engaged and active. I’m patient, attentive, and always try to match each child’s personality and needs. I’m also a big animal lover (especially dogs!), so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help with pet care too. In addition to childcare, I can help with light cleaning, organizing, and running errands to make your day a little easier. I’m reliable, responsible, and always aim to make families feel they can trust me with their home and their kids.

Laura did a wonderful job taking care of our daughter. Laura was very communicative, helpful, punctual, and professional, and got along really well with our five year old. She got her to take a nap and a bath (two things our daughter isn't super fond of), and she conversed and played well with her. We would highly recommend Laura to other parents, and hope we can have her come back again to take care of our daughter.

Dylan

Booked by 4 families in Southworth, WA

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!

Dylan is wonderfully responsive and responsible and amazingly kind. He worked as night support for us with three babies in the house. We slept! Dylan also watched our very challenging 9 year old. We are so grateful for Dylan and how he relates to babies and young children. We would absolutely hire 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

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)."
