Hello, I graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz. Following my studies at UCSC, I returned to Mira Costa community college to complete my 12 Early Childhood Education credits. I come from a family of four girls, 2 older sisters and one younger sister. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local library reading program. I volunteered at bible school where I was responsible for supervising groups of 4-5 preschool aged kids. I also worked as a babysitter for family friends and neighbors throughout high school, with experiences babysitting up to four kids at once. When I turned 16, I started working at the city pool and taught swim lessons there for five years for kids ranging from 3 to 15 years old. In college, I interned for a Kindergarten classroom at a school for children with autism and gained one-to-one instructional experience. I worked as a paraprofessional in MA for 3 years in a Pre-k classroom for children with autism. I received my Master’s degree in Special Education from UW in August 2019. I currently work full time with children with autism ages 2-18 I am certified by the American Red Cross in Adult CPR/AED, Infant CPR, & First Aid. I am only accepting date night or one time positions as I am employed with a full time job. PLEASE NOTE: I am happy to work with children with disabilities. However, if your child has a disability I expect full disclosure BEFORE watching your child (for any developmental, social/emotional, or behavioral special needs). This is for my safety and the safety of your child.

We were visiting Boston from Toronto, Canada, and were worried about leaving our daughter (who is 3) with someone we didn't know. Alexandra was fantastic - punctual, lovely, and very responsible. She asked a number of questions about things I hadn't thought to tell her - allergies, etc. I highly recommend her!

Hi there! My name is Jade and I am 29 years old, and I have been babysitting/nannying children for about 14 years. I am CPR certified and know a lot about the developing mind, as I graduated in 2018 with my degree in psychology. In the past, I worked at the YMCA as a lifeguard/swim instructor and a childcare teacher, and I am currently a preschool teacher. I have cared for children of all ages! I think it’s so important to assist and guide children through life, especially during these crucial developmental years. Some of my favorite activities to do with kids are crafts, reading, dancing, museums, parks, and beaches!

I am a responsible, reliable, and caring caregiver with a genuine passion for working with children. I am currently pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education, where I continue learning about child development and age-appropriate teaching strategies. I currently work as a Lead Teacher in a preschool classroom with one-year-old children, and I feel comfortable caring for children of all ages. I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities that encourage learning through play. I often bring arts and crafts materials so children can enjoy creative projects that support their imagination and fine motor development. Whether we’re reading stories, building with blocks, playing outside, or doing sensory activities, I strive to make our time together both fun and meaningful. I can also help with meal and snack preparation, diaper changes, potty training, nap and bedtime routines, homework, and light housekeeping related to the children. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive and caring experience for your children.

My name is Ashley, and I'm a local nanny with seven years of experience here in Seattle. I've had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of families, providing both full-time care for four families and part-time support for many others. I'm well-versed in caring for children across all age groups, from newborns to teenagers, and have specific expertise in overnight care and caring for twins. I believe in a hands-on approach to nannying, focusing on enriching activities like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and engaging trips to the library. I also have practical experience assisting with key developmental stages, including introducing solids and navigating potty training. I'm truly passionate about helping children learn and grow, and I'm excited by the prospect of contributing to your family's well-being. I'd be delighted to discuss how my skills and experience align with what you're looking for.

Ashley is a phenomenal nanny. She worked for us for 7 months and the only reason she stopped is because my child is going to daycare now. I highly recommend her.

* 24 years old. * 9 years experience. Hi! I’m Taylor, a dedicated nanny with 9 years of professional experience specializing in infant and toddler care. As the eldest of 5 siblings and eldest cousin to 20, I’ve been a natural caretaker and role model since I started babysitting at age 12 and nannying professionally at 15. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe—physically and emotionally—to express their full range of feelings. Through positive reinforcement, I encourage authenticity, curiosity, and exploration, always prioritizing safety in our urban setting by staying aware of our surroundings and teaching kids to do the same as a team. My favorite way to connect with children is through outdoor adventures! I love empowering them with practical life skills, self-responsibility, manners, and accountability by leading by example and tackling everyday tasks together. Watching their confidence grow is the best part of my day. I’m excited to bring my compassion, grounded approach, and fun energy to your family and grow alongside you!

Taylor did a great job interacting with my son. She read to him, played with him, and took him to the park. We appreciated her calm presence. Thank you Taylor!

Hi! I’m a pre-nursing student who has completed my CNA course and Basic Life Support (BLS) training. I also completed my clinicals at Northwest UW Medical Center, where I gained hands-on experience providing compassionate care in a professional healthcare setting. I’m also a volunteer at Seattle Children’s Hospital, where I have the opportunity to spend time supporting and engaging with children in a pediatric healthcare environment. In addition to my healthcare background, I have paid childcare experience caring for children ranging from 11 months old through elementary school age. I have references available upon request from families I’ve worked with. I’m currently working toward earning my BSN in pediatric nursing because I’m passionate about caring for children. Along with my paid experience, I come from a big family and have spent years helping care for younger relatives, giving me confidence working with children of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. Whether it’s engaging in age-appropriate activities, helping with meals, bedtime routines, homework, or simply providing attentive care, I always make each child’s well-being my top priority. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Hani was very responsive and saved us on a last minute request for backup care for our 2 year old. She was engaging and helpful with my son. There was some miscommunication from her end on her availability for the days we requested and that misled us in believing we had backup for the remaining days. She also did not communicate on not being okay with laundry and chopping vegetables when asked. Other than those few things she was great to work with! Highly recommend

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.

Abigail has been coming to help out at our house with our 6 month and 5 year old. She is very patient and kind with the baby and happy to learn whatever I share about managing my little one. There was a weekend when my little one was younger and fussy. Abigail took her on extended walks to keep her engaged and soothed. She has also won over my 5 year old who loves spending evenings playing with Abigail.
