I live in auburn, Wa. Hi my name is Yuriana but I like to go by Yuri I’m 25 years old. I have 7+ years of experience as a nanny/sitter. I graduated high school in 2019 and from evergreen beauty college in 2024 from shoreline north seattle. I am currently looking for occasional/datenights or my next longterm nanny contract with the soonest start with summer of 2026. Currently have late evenings, Wednesdays and weekends available. I’m Mexican and speak fluent Spanish. I’ve been nannying through UrbanSitter for the past 5 years and I love it! I grew up watching after my little sister. when my older brother had his kids (twin boys) I helped out a lot and got to have such a sweet and close bond with them. From when they were newborns I was always around and helping them out with showering, feeding, changing, playing and putting to sleep. They are now 10 years old . I still see them and hangout with them every other weekend fulfilling my auntie duties! I would say my strength is patience and my weakness is taking initiative or leading. I am a very laid back person and very calm. Tend to go with the flow and get to know others first before getting comfortable. In my free time I go on hikes, read, paint, do puzzles, and recently started doing surprise jewelry reveals! I’m comfortable with kids all ages, doing a variety of task from changing diapers, feeding, bathing, putting down to sleep, going outdoors, doing activities inside, homework help, help with household chores including laundry. Also okay with pet care. I’m comfortable with pets I have a doggo myself. A Husky pit mix. *cpr certified and fully vaccinated and boosted as well.

Hi - My name is Anna and I am a preschool teacher for 3-5 year olds. As a parent, myself, I know what it's like to search for a babysitter. As a teacher, mom, and caregiver I love being with children. I have over 20 plus years of experience working kids, mostly 3-5 year olds. Presently I work at a special education preschool in a inclusive classroom where children of all abilities and backgrounds are present. I have been a caretaker for my family and try to help where I can. I am looking to make extra income this summer for our summer trips and am a great person for last minute sitter options. I am very flexible and can help with pretty much anything you need.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
