Hi there! I recently earned my degree in early childhood education from Skagit & Highline College, and I have been caring for children for 5+ years as a childcare provider. I work with all ages such as newborns, infants, toddlers, preschool, and school age. I love working with young kids as I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. I want to be able to provide parents with someone trustworthy to care for their children.

I am a child care teacher, nanny, and now mom to a high school senior in. I work as a school district ECE teacher Sept-June and am doing some Weekend care for extra money. For a number of years I was a nanny in exchange for rent and did after hours care and evening and weekend routines with children 1 years old to age 10, including helping with chores and school work and getting them ready for bed. I enjoy doing cooking, dramatic play, and art with children and I make sure to get them some exercise and quiet time when with them for long stretches of time.

Rebecca sat for my 4 and 7 year old kids for an evening. She was communicative, professional and reliable. The kids were very comfortable with her as soon as she arrived. She has clearly spent a lot of time with children. I would highly recommend Rebecca!

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I'm currently looking for a full time long term role beginning in early June. My pay rate range is $30-$40. I'm flexible on position responsibilities and hours/days. About Me: I moved to Seattle a year ago and have fallen in love with the PNW! I spend most of my free time exploring with my golden retriever, Grace. I enjoy a large variety of hobbies, such as hiking, photography, music, crafts, and sports. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, stable environment with a focus on fun, learning, and balance. I plan outings, activities, etc. to keep kids engaged and happy while also ensuring that they have downtime to recharge. I recognize that all families and all children are different. I can quickly adapt my approach based on the uniqueness of each child and the needs of the family. Hope to hear from you soon!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Rachael. From day one, she gained the trust of both of my kids through her warm tone, playful energy, and genuine attention to who they are as individuals. She has a special talent for making everyday moments fun and cooperative. For example, when my son was deep into space and astronauts, she turned breakfast into “astronaut fuel from outer space” — and suddenly eating was an adventure instead of a struggle. She’s thoughtful like that. She remembers little details about each child (like how my younger one likes his morning “nest” with all his stuffies and a blanket) and uses those details to make them feel safe and understood. She is incredibly responsible and reliable — always on time, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. I especially appreciate how responsive she is. Mornings can be hectic, and she consistently shows up ready to help. One of her first questions is, “How can I help?” — and she means it. She’ll jump in to tidy up blankets, reset the couch, or handle small things without being asked. It makes such a difference. What stands out most is how calmly and proactively she navigates tricky moments. Once when my son was upset and crying in the car, she had already anticipated the possibility and brought bubbles to help him regulate — which worked beautifully. Another time, she noticed him swinging a chip clip on a string in a way that could have been unsafe. Without any prompting, she stepped in kindly, explained the issue, and he willingly stopped — and hasn’t done it since. She handles safety with confidence and warmth, not fear or overreaction. She drives my kids to daycare in the mornings, and I feel completely at ease knowing they are with her. She brings a bubbly, joyful presence into our home that we all genuinely look forward to. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Hello! My name is Rumana, and I'm a recent graduate from UW Seattle. I’m currently studying for the MCAT and babysitting on the side, so my schedule is pretty flexible between the two! I am located in Seattle and can conveniently get to anywhere close by, such as Capitol Hill, but also have a car and can travel farther (as far as Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, etc.) if needed. I love kids and hope to become a pediatrician one day! To me, working with children is incredibly fun and exciting—I love to engage their curiosity and sense of play as a babysitter and help them learn how to be respectful and kind as peers at the same time. I have experience working with kids of all ages, particularly between infants to around 11 years old. When babysitting, I typically help kids read books, play lots of games, as well as do arts and crafts if available in order to stimulate their imagination and creativity. I am happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, and any other responsibilities you might need me to do. I babysat all throughout undergrad, amounting to 4 years of experience doing paid babysitting, and spent an initial 2 years working for a family with three talkative and active kids aged 1, 3, and 5. Afterwards, I began babysitting for many different families independently for an additional 2 years, and am super adaptable to a variety of kids! In terms of availability, I am typically available in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, but again, I can be flexible if needed! Parenting is hard; the most fulfilling aspect of babysitting to me is helping your family maintain balance within your lives amidst busy schedules, and I sincerely hope to use my experience working with kids in my future career!

Rumana babysat our 5yo girl and nearly 3yo boy four evenings while we were visiting family in the Seattle area. She was responsive, flexible and prompt in replying when communicating on dates / times. Most importantly, kids loved her and were super excited for her to come (and equally disappointed when they realised her last night had come and gone!). I was especially impressed by this given she was dealing with two kids in a rented (small) Airbnb so there was not the usual amount of toys / activities. I would ask Rumana to babysit again when we are back in Seattle and definitely recommend her to others.

I have experience with teens and pre-teens for about 4 years . I am experienced in helping out with homework from English , math, science and even art projects. I consider myself a hands on babysitter and will play inside or outside with kids or pets! Aid in sleep or dietary schedules necessary. I am ok with helping out during meal times as well and bedtime routines :)

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.

Trust you and your kids will have the absolute best time with Jessie McKenna! Jessie was our first nanny and took care of my infant for over a year until he started nursery school, and then we hired Jessie to take care of the now toddler and second baby, which she took to immediately. She planned fun activities for the kids, made sure they ate and napped responsibly, and I always came home knowing my kids were happy and content (and not as excited to see me, which, let's be honest, is every mom's dream when you have someone caring for your kids that prefer them over you!) Jessie has been a part of our family for over a decade, and my now grown up kids adore her still and talk fondly about their time with her. I have recommended Jessie to my friends who have younger children and their experience has been just as good as mine was. If I could give Jessie 10 stars, I absolutely would. There are lots of care givers out there, but only one Jessie and I feel blessed every day that we got her for the most transformative years of our kids lives. Claire Newman

I’ve spent years working with kids in all kinds of settings — babysitting babies and toddlers, helping out in kindergartens, and supporting groups of children in different programs. I truly love what I do. Watching kids learn, grow, and discover new things has always been one of my favorite parts of the job. Whether I’m calming a baby, helping with early learning skills, or creating fun activities, working with children is something that brings me so much joy.

We hired Lesley to help take care of our 3 month old infant overnight. She is very good at soothing a baby who only contact sleeps, and quickly adapted to nuances of care. She is very easy to get along with and clearly loves children. We are looking forward to the remaining month and a half of time we need her assistance overnight.

I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to connect with others, whether it’s pets, children, or elderly individuals. There’s something incredibly rewarding about providing care and seeing those I look after feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I enjoy the flexibility of the job, too, as it allows me to balance my time while helping others with their needs. It’s fulfilling to know that I’m offering peace of mind to families or pet owners. have experience in [pet sitting/babysitting/elderly care], where I’ve learned to manage tasks like feeding, administering medications, and providing companionship. Over time, I’ve gained confidence in caring for different individuals, whether it’s keeping pets entertained and active or helping children with their daily routines. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with families on various occasions, which has improved my ability to adapt to different needs and preferences. I have strong communication skills, which help me interact effectively with both the individuals I’m caring for and their families. I’m also trained in first aid and CPR, which I believe is an essential skill for any sitter. I have experience managing schedules and routines, especially with children or pets, and I’m good at keeping everything organized. I’m patient, compassionate, and enjoy being proactive in addressing any challenges that may arise, whether that’s calming an anxious pet or ensuring a child feels safe and secure.
