Hi! I'm new to Sittercity, but not new to childcare! As an older sister, I started helping with childcare and sitting for neighborhood kids since I was 10. I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to teens—and have experience with kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Down Syndrome. I’m now a college graduate, working towards a Masters of Psychotherapy. My hobbies include baking bread, hiking, and fashion!

Hi there! I am Abby (she/her). I graduated from the University of Washington in June 2024. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Communities, and Organizations with Disability Studies and American Indian Studies minors. I have been caring for children for 6 years as a babysitter and as the oldest sibling, as well as supervising children in summer camp and school settings. My babysitting experience ranges in ages from infant to twelve. I recently cared for a one year old for six months, starting when she was only six months herself - this included diaper changes, feedings, putting her down for naps, and taking her on adventures to Kids Club, swimming, and free events at the local library. I have also babysat toddlers and assisted them with potty training. I also babysit families with siblings ranging in ages of 2-4 and 6-10. I truly love working with kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. With each family I understand cleaning is not expected but light housework such as dishes, vacuuming, and tidying up the toy room is no problem for me! I have experience babysitting children with ASD and ADHD. I have found success in building relationships with these children through discussing triggers, what the child enjoys, and boundaries with parents before we start working together. I am also passionate about working with children with disabilities in the school setting. I am currently a substitute, often filling in as a paraprofessional. From September 2023 to May 2024 I held an internship as a substitute paraprofessional in the Seattle Public School system, regularly working at Concord International Elementary School. Nothing makes me happier than reading, doing crafts, playing games/puzzles and being outside! My number one focus is keeping the children happy but most importantly safe. I have my CPR certification and can run a background check upon request. I'm available ONLY on weekends, hopefully for the occasional date night. I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your children!

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy being around children and supporting them as they grow, learn, and explore their interests. I find it very rewarding to engage with children at their developmental level, encourage their curiosity, and provide a safe, caring, and positive environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. I have about three years of experience working as an infant–Pre-K teacher in a childcare setting. During that time, I cared for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I have experience independently caring for up to seven children at once (toddlers–Pre-K) and up to four infants. I have also worked with children in special education and am comfortable adapting care to meet individual needs. I have completed online childcare courses through MERIT, qualifying me to work in a daycare environment. My skills include age-appropriate engagement, classroom and behavior management, routine care, supervision, and supporting children’s learning and interests through play. I am patient, attentive, organized, and reliable, and I always prioritize children’s safety, comfort, and well-being
