I have been babysitting ever since I was 12 years old. I wanted to give back for all the years that I had been taken care of. I took a specific course to become a babysitter and started to babysit my neighbors. I had heard about a course specifically for babysitting, so I took it. After that I was good to go to babysit the whole neighborhood. It worked out perfectly while I attended UC Davis. I graduated with two degrees in Dramatic Art and Design, and two minors in Chicano Studies and Education. I love to teach it and create new things. I am also a Spanish native speaker. I was born in a town near Mexico City. I am very interested in teaching kids what I have learned and also try to have fun with them. Every time I babysit I like to teach the kids something new. Currently, I am a pre-K teacher. I am loving, fun, and entertaining to be around. Teaching kiddos is my passion. It’s the beginning of a new beginning in education. Please ask what my availability is for the summer! Gracias

I am a responsible, punctual, and caring professional with a deep passion for childcare and teaching. Currently, I work as a lead teacher in a preschool classroom with 1-year-old children, where I enjoy creating an environment full of learning, play, and love. I have experience caring for autistic children, tailoring activities and strategies to meet their unique needs. I provide support with tasks such as preparing healthy snacks, assisting with potty training, helping during nap time, and designing activities that stimulate motor skill development. I am inspired by Montessori principles, fostering independence and learning through discovery. I firmly believe that every child is unique, and I enjoy the opportunity to learn from them while supporting their growth in a safe and nurturing environment.

Hello! My name is Rumana Ali, and I'm an undergraduate pre-medical student at UW Seattle. I am located in Seattle and can conveniently get to anywhere close by, such as Capitol Hill, but also have a car and can travel farther (Bothell, Redmond, etc.) if needed. I love kids and hope to become a pediatrician one day! To me, working with children is incredibly fun and exciting—| love to engage their curiosity and sense of play as a babysitter and help them learn how to be respectful and kind as peers at the same time. I have experience working with kids of all ages, particularly between infants to around 11 years old. When babysitting, I typically help kids read books, play lots of games, as well as do arts and crafts in order to stimulate their imagination and creativity. I am happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, and any other responsibilities you might need me to do. I have 3 years of experience doing paid babysitting, and spent 2 years working for a family with three talkative and active kids aged 1, 3, and 5. I also babysat for many different families through other babysitting platforms for an additional year, and am super adaptable to a variety of kids! In terms of availability, I am typically available in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, but I can be flexible if needed. Parenting is hard; the most fulfilling aspect of babysitting to me is helping your family maintain balance within your lives amidst busy schedules, and I sincerely hope to use my experience working with kids in my future career!

Hello! I am a born and raised 30 year old Seattlite. I have been a babysitter/nanny in the area for 17 years, starting at the age of 13. I have always loved working with kids. I have a BA degree in Early Childhood Education and have worked as a babysitter, full time nanny and daycare provider. I am currently looking for occasional sitting jobs and temporary/substitute nanny jobs. I love to play and learn with children by providing a comforting and rich experience where kids feel safe and engaged while they’re in my care . I understand my role as a professional babysitter/nanny to be an extension of the child’s parents. I aim to adapt my childcare style for each individual family to provide the children with familiar expectations and routines. I believe that play is a child’s work so I aim to provide experiences and activities that enhance their play. High quality play stimulates learning and creates a strong bond between the child and the person they’re playing with. I enjoy getting on the floor and engaging children with play to create a feeling of trust and safety while they’re in my care. Each stage of a child’s development brings a different childcare experience, making it difficult for me to have a preferred age. My favorite activities to do with kids are arts/crafts/sensory play, spending time outside exploring, reading books and playing games. I balance play and caregiving while making sure that children understand and follow the expectations and rules set by their parents. Outside of childcare, I do housesitting and dog walking in my spare time. I am an animal lover and am comfortable with both dogs and cats (and most other critters!) In my free time I try to get outside as much as possible. I spend a lot of time with my family, listening to podcasts and eating good food. I am vegetarian but am comfortable cooking and serving meat. BA in Early Childhood Education Experience with ages 3 months - 15 years Have been driving children for 10 years Multiple references/long term Have multiple long term (6+ years) clients Experience with kids and swimming Overnight Care Experience Multi Age Care Experience Nanny share experience

As of right now I am working at early childhood, education school working with children ages 4 months to 6 years. However, will be returning back to campus in early September.

EXPERIENCE: Babysitting experience growing up in a large family. I was a nanny for many years, have been both lead and an assistant teacher as well in an early childhood setting. Both general education and special education. I'm familiar with the development of children from infants up to age five but I have experience with elementary aged children. QUALIFICATIONS: CPR and first aid certified. Trained in Safe Sleep for Infants. I have 30 hours of Child Care Basic (STARS) training as well. OSHA: Bloodborne Pathogens HIV/AIDS/Hep B Inclusive, Abusive head trauma, Immunization in Childcare, Medication Management. Reading for Special Needs and English Language Learners, Sing Along: Music in the Classroom, Speech and Language Red Flags, Working with Children Who Stutter, Introduction to Montessori Education are some of the certifications I have as not only a child care provider but as an educator. ABOUT ME/CHILDCARE PHILOSOPHY: I have an unrelenting passion for service, helping others and child care. Everything I try to do is to spread joy, love, peace and putting kindness back into this world. I love doing so by modeling it to future generations. I believe in fostering the development of young children through the investment of time and in cultivating their natural love of learning and exploring the world around them in a way that doesn't compromise their safety. The enrichment of lives IS dependent on us nurturing individual developmental needs (social, emotional and academic) in a way that tailors what we teach them with how they learn best. Parent partnerships are very important. Open communication is the key and I will keep parents informed about how the day went. I'm firm believer in celebrating every child's successes and aspirations; who they are, where they are, and where they can go. I believe in gentle and respectful child care and treating children with kindness and patience even through tough moments. I look forward to the opportunity to be able to share these successes with any family I work with. HOURS OF AVAILABILITY: 5:00pm-10:00pm
