I have 10 years of babysitter and nanny experience working with kids. I am patient, interact well with children and am also dedicated to the well upbringing and safety of children. Personally I've raised two girls of my own and is currently an empty nester. Now that I'm no longer a full time mom, I'm taking on some part time jobs assisting other busy parents. I'm also comfortable being around pets. My family moved to WA 23 years ago and I turned a full time mom out of choice. During those years I had the joy of caring for my kids and volunteered as a teacher helper when my younger child started elementary school, helping other children in school with reading and art projects. I taught elementary Singapore Mathematics and substituted for challenged students English classes on Saturdays with Northwest Chinese School when my daughters were attending Chinese lessons there for 3-4 years. Also privately tutored some Taiwanese kids and assisted non-fluent English speakers in the library ESL classes over the years. I believe with proper nurturing and providing children with early learning opportunity can enhance positive child development. I highly value quality education. I am good at reading books to kids and enjoy singing children's songs and rhymes with them. I am great at telling time-tested and children-proved stories. I am good at teaching and making art and craft projects. Also able to handle making healthy kids meals and cleaning after kids with ease. Since the past years to date I have been working part time and occasionally for families with kids ranging from 0 months to 12 years old. I have experience with baby and toddler care. I am currently available for date nights and weekends babysitting. Any other details beyond, I'll be glad to divulge during an interview. Thank you for your consideration.

May is a kind, caring, and wonderful baby sitter. She is detail ordinated and kept us apprised of her actions and care throughout the time she watched our 1 year old daughter. My wife was very impressed on her ability to put our daughter at ease. We highly recommend May.

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!

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!

Hi! I am 25 years old and I have been a certified babysitter for 13 years, a camp counselor for 7 summers for ages 4-13, and a nanny/household manager for 3.5 years. I have experience working with challenging kids and kids with special needs (Down's Syndrome, ADHD, autism, anxiety, ODD). I am a registered behavior technician with 1 year of experience doing trauma-informed applied behavioral therapy. I have a psychology degree from UC Davis and took child development courses, which, along with my extensive hands-on childcare experience, has greatly informed my parenting philosophies. I practice authoritative (not authoritarian), gentle, positive, and attachment parenting. I encourage autonomy, independence, confidence, emotional expression and regulation. I love playing indoor and outdoor games, helping with homework, cooking and doing arts and crafts with kids. I also love animals and am willing to do light child-related housework. I can send my formal resumé upon request. Please feel free to message me if you think we’d be a good fit! ***Potty trained kids only***

Mitra has been my pet sitter for months now and she is truly incredible! I know that my cat is in the best hands when it comes to care. My fur baby occasionally has health problems and Mitra is always so prompt to offer updates and check ins. I couldn't recommend her more to take care of your fur baby!

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.

My name is Claire Eberhard and I grew up in Seattle WA. I attended John Stanford International school, Hamilton, and Lincoln. During that time I attended a Japanese immersion program. I have always been interested in childhood development, in fact I read "Your baby and child from Birth to age 5" by Penelope Leach before I started babysitting. I then took a babysitters course and a CPR course, and I have been babysitting for different families since I was 14 years old. I am now 19 years old playing Soccer and majoring in Biology at Carleton College. The experience Ive had is both joyous and worth while. I very much enjoy children of all ages. Over the years I have taken care of children in elementary school, preschool and infants, and have taken 3 kids at the same time. Spending time with children is one of the things that fulfills me the most and I would love to have a steady babysitting job over the summer. My interest outside of childcare is Japanese (the language and the culture), playing soccer (I have coached at numerous soccer camps), baking, biology, reading, and going for runs and walks. When I am with children I like to make sure they are engaged in play, well nourished, and are able to rest/nap if that is part of their daily routine. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your family.

Claire helped us out on very short notice when our regular care provider was out unexpectedly. She was easy to communicate with and kept our toddler fed, happy, and entertained. Thanks again Claire!

Hi, I’m Sandra and I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years now. It’s been such a rewarding experience to work with children of all ages, watching them grow and develop while being able to create fun and safe environments for them. From playtime to helping with schoolwork, I’ve learned how to adapt to different needs and personalities, making sure each child feels comfortable and cared for. Babysitting has truly been a joy, and I’d love to continue helping out families who need an extra hand!

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.
