Hello Everyone! My name is Karen. I have been a Special Education teacher for 12 years now, 11 years in NYC Department of Education and 1 year in Seattle Public Schools. I have experience working with children of all ages ranging from 6 months to 15 years of age and also range in breadth of experience (babysitter, nanny, tutor, community life skills). I am currently going back to school part time to explore a creative passion of mine, however, I would still love the opportunity to work with children in some capacity! I would describe myself as a very loving person, honest, kind, I am a huge animal lover, passionate about loving our planet, and above all a big kid who likes to be goofy and fun. Please reach out with any questions you may have! Hope to speak with you soon. Warmly, Karen

Karen watched my 1-year-old a few times. My daughter absolutely loved her. She took great care of her and would send me updates throughout the day while I was at work. Karen is very sweet and caring. She communicates very well and is always on time. Unfortunately, my schedule changed, and we no longer have her, but I would absolutely recommend her Karen was wonderful!

Fun, Caring Babysitter | Weeknights & Weekends Available Hi families! My name is Brittany, and I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I currently work full-time as a Special Education Instructional Assistant at a middle school, and I love spending my evenings and weekends providing quality childcare for families. My babysitting hours are flexible. I’m available for both routine or occasional care, weekday evenings, and weekends. My babysitting style is fun, engaging, and attentive. I enjoy reading, singing, playing games, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for kids. I’m also experienced with bedtime routines, meal prep, and keeping children on track with their schedules. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter or regular evening/weekend support, I’m happy to help. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and come with excellent references from families I’ve worked with for years. My goal is always to make sure your children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.

Julie has been an amazing cat sitter for us. She has watched our cat many times now and has been consistently reliable, trustworthy, and paid attention to the important details. It's very apparent how much she loves spending time with our kitty and how seriously she takes a job. I'd highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for pet care!

Hi my name is Abby Raschkow and I go to Seattle pacific university and I am studying nursing. I love being a sitter because I love kids and want to be a pediatric nurse so I believe babysitting is great experience for my future career. I have also taken many anatomy/psychology classes so I have learned a lot about kids and their big emotions.

Abigail has been coming to help out at our house with our 6 month and 5 year old. She is very patient and kind with the baby and happy to learn whatever I share about managing my little one. There was a weekend when my little one was younger and fussy. Abigail took her on extended walks to keep her engaged and soothed. She has also won over my 5 year old who loves spending evenings playing with Abigail.

Hi, I’m Cameron! I have a strong background working with children through both professional and personal experiences. I’ve worked in ABA therapy, supporting children with developmental and behavioral needs, which has given me valuable skills in patience, communication, and structure. I’ve also spent years babysitting for families in my church community, building trusted relationships and caring for kids of various ages. I truly enjoy helping families by providing a safe, positive, and engaging environment for their children. Whether it’s playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m dependable, nurturing, and always focused on each child’s individual needs. I work for Lake Washington School District as a behavioral therapist and would love to assist your children in a fun nurturing environment!

Brian is awesome with kids. He genuinely wants to spend time with them and help them thrive and grow. He has watched our daughter on noumorous occasions and each time he comes up with fun acticities that keep her engaged. Whether its bunny hunting (the bunnies were not harmed) or coloring, Brian is there for it. And after visits my kiddo can't wait to go back.

Infant and toddler nanny available this summer June-September Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays for up to 18 hours a week. Also available for occasional date nights. Hello, families! I have over 10 years of intermittent babysitting experience as well as a year of nanny experience! I currently work as a therapist but I miss working with littles. Before becoming a therapist, I was a part-time nanny for a 9-15 month old, and I loved my job! Along with the usual diaper changes, bottles, and naps, we spent the day playing in the kiddie pool during the summer, reading lots of board books, doing assisted walking, working on language acquisition, going to the park, and singing and dancing. My style tends to be child-led: I observe what activities the child gravitates toward and then introduce a new element to help with development. Other experience: In 2023, I was also a nanny for a 4-8 month old and an 8-11 month old. We went on lots of walks together, did tummy time and playing, and had many in-depth nonsensical conversations ;). Besides childcare and being a mental health counselor, my main work experience has been as a Life Enrichment Assistant at an assisted living community, which I did for five years, helping to run activities and events. During that time, I came up with creative activities (art, music, games, outings), and I love bringing this creativity to my nanny and babysitting jobs to keep children engaged and learning. A few more things about me: I love cleaning, baking, playing ukulele, singing in the rain, and playing with pets. Thank you for your time and for considering me to care for your kiddos! I look forward to hearing from you.

I’m a dependable, patient, and easygoing dad to a 1-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy, so I understand firsthand how important trust, safety, and consistency are when it comes to childcare. I’m comfortable helping with day-to-day routines like meals, playtime, homework help, bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy while making sure kids stay engaged and cared for. I’m especially good at staying calm under pressure, communicating clearly, and adapting to different personalities and family routines. I know every child is different, and I try to create an environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and safe. I’m also comfortable around pets, helping with light household tasks if needed, and handling higher-energy kids with patience and structure. My goal is to be someone families can genuinely rely on and feel good about having around their home.
