Find experienced babysitters in Magnolia, WA

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.

Hi everybody! I am a certified math teacher and a boys' basketball coach at a high school in Renton. I attended school at the University of Washington where I obtained my Master's in Teaching in 2020. I've been working with kids for 10 years and have babysat for the past 5 years. I've cared for many families, mostly in date night roles, with kids aged 1 and up. In addition to date nights, I've also helped with weekends/overnights, after school, and full-time babysitting in the summer. Working with kids is something I enjoy doing and is the reason I became a teacher and a coach. I like to spend the time interacting and engaging with the kids. I focus on making sure they have a safe and fun time while in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I'm excited for the opportunity to work with you and your family!

For over 20 years, I've worked as a nanny, household manager, part-time sitter, Montessori and social-emotional preschool teacher, and arts enrichment facilitator for kids of all ages. I taught infant/toddler music and movement classes for two years, and I've been a youth mentor and youth volunteer manager. I love meeting new families and supporting their unique needs. Whether I'm spending quiet time at home with the kiddos, going for walks, picking up kids from school and delivering them to activities, helping with homework, running errands, facilitating playdates, or lending a hand with household chores—I'm here for it! I spent 10 years as a communications specialist for community-based nonprofits and I previously worked in tech. I'm also a singer/songwriter and performer. My skills and experience are well-rounded, and my personality and work style reflect that. I enjoy the flexibility of being a sitter at this stage in my life and feel grateful to do work that allows time for other activities. When I'm not caregiving, I'm paddle boarding, beach-combing, spending time with family, my husband, and rescue dogs in our Beacon Hill home of 20 years. I can also be found volunteering in my community (and at the NW Chimpanzee Sanctuary!). I have extensive experience with infant (including newborns), toddler, and school-aged kids; I've cared for multiple sets of twins; and I've worked with children on the spectrum and kids with developmental delays and other special needs. I've supported families through many difficult circumstances from divorce to serious illness. I'm deeply empathetic, proactive and agile as an extended member of a family support team, and I try to find a way to have fun no matter what I'm doing. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your family! Warmly, Jessie PS: I have a reliable car and clean driving record, and I'm happy to provide professional references from families I've worked for in the Seattle area upon request. My rate is flexible and depends entirely on the particulars of the job.

We moved from Austin, Texas, to Bellevue, WA, on June 14, 2023. We love it here. About my background: I home-schooled my children leading to their acceptance into Rhode Island School of Design (full scholarship,) Columbia University and Princeton University. Subsequently, I obtained my bachelor's, master's and PhD degrees in political science, the latter degree at the age of 55. Starting in 2017, I made 17 trips around the country to serve as a sitter educator for my granddaughter. After that I was a nanny educator in Austin, Texas, for her brother. Occasionally I managed care and education for both brother and sister, together. We moved to Bellevue Washington in June of 2023 to continue part-time care for the two grandchildren. Since then, I am working also for other families as a nanny educator and enjoy all age groups. My work includes educating children of all abilities as well as taking care of basics, such as hygiene, meal preparation and story-telling. Through all of my childcare services, I encourage children to develop self-motivation. Please contact me to check my availability.

Hi! My name is Kestrel and I'm 31 years old, born and raised in Seattle! I love spending time with little humans and supporting families. When you choose to hire me as your nanny, you're entrusting me not only with your child's safety and wellbeing, but with their childhood; their sense of wonder, their sense of security, their future memories. I strive to build genuine trust and connection and follow their lead whenever possible. I love reading aloud, coloring, making art, listening to music, and playing outside! My educational background is in psychology and communications, and I've taken several courses on child development. I've had several wonderful experiences caring for neurodivergent kids, including nonverbal kids and kids with high support needs. Outside of nannying, I work part-time as a freelance editor and continue to study editing through the University of Washington. I'm bilingual (English and Brazilian Portuguese), an animal lover, a dog mom, and a proud auntie to two amazing kids! On my days off, you can find me treasure hunting at thrift stores and flea markets, out to brunch with my family, or enjoying nature.

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 nurturing firstborn and current psychology student with years of hands-on caregiving experience. Growing up as the big sister, I naturally took on the role of caregiver; managing routines, providing emotional support, and creating a safe, fun environment for my younger brother as well as cousins. That experience, combined with my studies in psychology, has given me a deeper understanding of children’s needs, development, and emotions. Parents describe me as dependable, patient, and engaging, and I love making kids feel both cared for and excited to learn and play. Whether it’s after-school routines, weekend care, or special occasions, I bring warmth, responsibility, and a genuine love for children to every family I work with.

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.

Hello, My name is Sarah, and I am a single mom living in Edmonds with my 16-year-old son. While working in childcare facilities, I have seen first-hand how the children can become unintentionally overlooked due to an overcrowded setting. I know peace-of-mind is necessary when finding a caretaker for your child, and that is something I am willing and wanting to provide.
