Greetings! I began babysitting in middle school and continued through high school. The summer after my first year of college I was a nanny for a family with three children, including one older girl with autism and various other disabilities. More recently I have been working at camps with a variety of different kids. I was the site coordinator of a camp, putting me in charge of about 36 kids and five staff. One summer I was a nanny for two boys ages 5 and 7. I am CPR trained, Wilderness First Aid certified, and have my masters in occupational therapy. I work full time Sunday to Wednesday and so am available for occasional date nights or weekends. Let me know if I could be a fit! 6/30/23- I have worked primarily as an occupational therapist for the past 6 years but enjoy the occasional babysitting gig to get some Read more kid time. I live in North Seattle and so would prioritize babysitting around this area.

Kelly was great looking after our toddler twins. The twins had a good time with her and she was really easy to communicate with. Look forward to using her again!

We reached out to Kelly last year and she has been a DREAM! Kids love her, she is always on-time, flexible, reliable and responsible and in great spirits! Our two kids love it when we have her over. She plays board games, plays outside and even baked cookies with them (and cleaned up all the dishes!) I never feel like I have to worry about anything when I leave the kids with her because I know they are in excellent loving care! Any family would be definitely adding value to their home by hiring Kelly! We are very thankful we have her! :)
