Melina babysat my kids a few nights ago. She was flexible, on-time, and polite. My kids really enjoyed having her as a babysitter and even asked if she can babysit them again.

Hello! My name is Marisa, and I am looking for a wonderful family (preschool or elementary age) to support as a part-time nanny. I have a lifelong passion for working with children and a wealth of experience to draw from. I studied early childhood education in college and worked as a Pre-K teacher before stepping away to raise my four children. They are all grown, and my husband and I have entered a new phase of empty nesting! Throughout my years as a stay-at-home mom, my life has revolved around children—volunteering in my children’s classrooms, teaching young children at church, and babysitting for friends. I love watching children grow in confidence, independence, and creativity. My approach is rooted in play-based learning, which, I believe, inspires curiosity and critical thinking. I enjoy guiding children through open-ended projects that encourage discovery and problem-solving in a fun and engaging way. I believe in firm, but gentle parenting: setting boundaries, calmly redirecting unwanted behaviors, positive reinforcement, natural consequences, encouraging empathy, and above all, showing lots of love. I strive to help each child I interact with feel safe, valued, and important. My most recent nanny experience has been a dream--supporting an amazing multilingual family. I have loved helping their elementary-age child build confidence with English through everyday conversation and playful learning. I am dedicated to nurturing and advocating for children, and I consider it a privilege to support their development. Thank you for considering me as part of your family’s caregiving team—I look forward to meeting you!

Marisa has been with our family for the past year and a half (with our now 7.5yo girl), and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. She is an incredible nanny and has become a very important person in our lives. One of the things I appreciate most about Marisa is how calm, steady, and genuinely kind she is. She brings this wonderful sense of stability into our home, the feeling that everything is going to be okay. And somehow that works not only on the child, but on the parents too! She is also remarkably present with our daughter. When our daughter wants to tell her a story or explain something she is excited about, Marisa really listens. She takes her interests seriously, asks questions, remembers things, and genuinely engages with whatever happens to be fascinating her at the moment. That kind of attention is surprisingly rare, and I think it is a big part of why they have built such a strong and trusting relationship. Our daughter always looks forward to seeing Marisa and makes plans for what they are going to do together. Marisa is also wonderfully creative and thoughtful about how they spend their time. She brings games, activities, and ideas based on our daughter's current interests. At one point she brought Monopoly because she knew how much our daughter loves math, and they ended up practicing mental arithmetic and working with money while playing. It was such a simple, clever way to turn something she already loved into a learning experience without making it feel like "learning". They cook and bake together, make cookies and cupcakes, play board games, do projects, and spend time outside. Marisa is great at finding that balance between following a child's lead and gently introducing something new. On top of all of that, she is exceptionally reliable and punctual. We have always felt completely comfortable knowing that when Marisa is with our daughter, she is in capable, caring hands. After a year and a half together, we very much hope to have Marisa in our lives for a long time. She is a truly wonderful nanny and a wonderful person. Any family lucky enough to work with her will have found someone very special.

Hi families! I’m Amanda! 😊 I’m a former preschool/Pre-K teacher with over 15 years of experience working in licensed childcare centers. In recent years, I made the transition into private nannying and quickly discovered how much I love the one-on-one connection and personalized care that nannying allows. I recently took some time off to make a big move from Texas to Washington, and I’m now excited to get back to doing what I love! I’m looking for my next nanny family starting around December 1, with some flexibility for the right fit. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license and clean driving record, and I’m happy to provide a list of childcare-related references. I’m dependable, caring, and love creating a fun, comfortable environment where kids can learn, play, and be themselves. If you’re looking for someone to become a trusted part of your family and think we might be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you! 💕

I retired early to enjoy being a grandma after raising five children as a single parent. Now I have nine grandchildren with another on the way. I babysit my grandchildren as needed from newborn to eight years old. Each gets special attention based on their personalities and learning styles. My youngest kids are twenty nine year old twins, so life was busy when they were younger. They all went to co-op preschools and I was able to take ECE classes at the local community college as well. All five are now grown and successful. I’m available as a backup sitter, date night sitter, or day sitter in Snohomish, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Marysville, Woodinville, Everett, Granite Falls, and Arlington. I believe children learn through play and spend my time with them doing just that while making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. My husband and I enjoy travel, so I’d love to be your backup sitter, last minute substitute, date night sitter, or the one you can call when you just need a break to run errands hands free. My hobbies include caring for my many chickens (and a couple of roosters), playing with and walking my two dogs Porter the chocolate lab and Hank the golden retriever, quilting, gardening, beekeeping, and baking. I’m happy to answer any questions or meet via FaceTime to see if I would be a good fit for your family and look forward to meeting you and your little one/ones.

Aida recently looked after our toddler for date night, and she was an absolute delight! As soon as she came in, our dogs loved her, and our toddler started chatting with her like she'd known her for years :). Aida was wonderful and easy to communicate with and was very patient and positive with our toddler as she had just been potty-trained the week before. Overall we felt very comfortable with her watching our kiddo and we're looking forward to having her over again!

Hello i am Winnie. I am CPR and First Aid Certified and a high school graduate. My enthusiasm for taking care of little ones started when I was only a teenager but I would say it fully blossomed when I had the opportunity to work as a assistant pre-school/basic school teacher in my young adolescent years back in Jamaica. I am a christian married and I’ve raised three children of my own, they are all wonderful respectful adults now who have left the nest and are currently growing loving families of their own. I am a proud grandmother to Seven little ones who I love so dearly, ranging from age one to thirteen years old, all seven of which I’ve had the opportunity to be a hands on grandma to for brief and mostly longer periods of time. Being a nanny is something that comes second nature to me as I’ve always been one that cares a great deal for people in general, with a extra soft spot in my heart for little ones. I am comfortable working with any ages children i am looking forward to finding the next family that I’ll be working with long term. I am also love to work with special needs children or seniors.I am also available to work on holidays and to assist in dates nights i am available to help out with light house keeping ect Thanks for taking the time to read my message. I hope we connect soon.

Winnifred cared for our 3 month old baby. She was proactive: called in ahead of time and came early to talk about expectations and baby's routines. I was impressed by her ability to quickly learn everything about the baby and come up with creative ways to calm the baby down. She made every effort to ensure the baby is safe and happy. When the baby was sleeping she helped with housework and was very efficient (made snacks, mopped the floors, folded laundry, and washed baby bottles/pumping equipment). I trust her, and highly recommend her as a nanny.

It was such a relief to have Lanaya as our first childcare experience. As a new mom, I’m still figuring quite a few things out, and I often leaned on Lanaya for advice. She is enthusiastic, creative, flexible, and wonderful with children. My son absolutely loved her. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!!!

Willow has been an exceptional caregiver for our 1-year-old twins since August 2024. She ensures they are dressed, fed breakfast, and ready for the day, always arriving on time and following instructions perfectly. Her attention to detail, including creating lovely hairstyles for our little girl, shows her dedication and care.

Saanvi was an absolute gift to our family. She cared for our two-year-old with so much warmth, energy, and genuine love - exactly what a toddler needs! She was hands-on, playful, and incredibly flexible, which made every day feel great. What stood out just as much was how professional and reliable she was. She was always punctual, respected our schedule, and communicated beautifully throughout. We always felt informed and completely at ease. We could not recommend Saanvi more highly. She is great with children!
