Milagros A., Child Care in Bellevue, WA 98006 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Milagros, and I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic childcare provider with over 5 years of experience working with children of different ages. I’m originally from Argentina and currently based in Seattle. I have a background in Physical Education and Personal Training, which strongly shapes the way I care for kids — I love encouraging movement, outdoor play, and healthy routines in a fun and safe way. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny, babysitter, and caregiver, supporting families with everything from daily routines and school pickups to creative play, meals, and emotional support. I’m very attentive, organized, and calm under pressure, and I truly value building trust with both parents and children. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your child with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and I always aim to create a positive, structured, and loving environment where kids feel safe, seen, and supported. I’m happy to adapt to each family’s needs and parenting style, and I communicate clearly and openly. I genuinely enjoy working with children and being a supportive presence in their growth and daily life. I’d love to connect and see if I could be a good fit for your family!

Here’s a polished nanny review you can use: --- We loved having Mili as our nanny! She cared for our two kids—Ava (4) and Dez (1)—as part of a nanny share with our neighbors across the street, and she was truly wonderful. Mili was consistently warm, fun, and patient with the kids. She had a great routine with Dez and was able to get him down for naps smoothly, which was such a relief. She kept the kids engaged and active, taking them out regularly to museums, parks, and playgrounds. We always felt connected because she sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day. She was responsive, reliable, and made sure the kids were well fed and happy. We highly recommend Mili—our kids absolutely adored her!

Rachael D., Child Care in Bellevue, WA 98006 with 15 years of paid experience

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I'm currently looking for a position around 20-30 hours per week starting after 9:30/10 a.m. 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.

Cara L., Child Care in Bellevue, WA 98006 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi! I have a BSc in Psychology (minors Sociology, English) and a MSc in Developmental Psychology. I loved working with young children and families at an early learning daycare center before I got my MSc in the UK. I was hired as the lead toddler teacher (working primarily with 12-30 month olds in a 1:7 ratio) and ended up working as the assistant director. This was great administrative and early childhood education experience, and I worked with all ages at the preschool (infancy - school age) while managing the facility. I’ve also babysat and nannied for years. My favorite ages to play with, sing to, and teach about life are definitely infancy - two years. With a background in psychological and lifespan human development, my approach is rooted in supporting children's cognitive, socio-emotional, behavioral, and physical growth while promoting independence and self-esteem. I love to do this by engaging in fun developmentally appropriate play - crafts, musical, sensory, imaginative play, etc. - and by demonstrating to children that I am a safe adult who will respect and advocate for them, give structured support (i.e., follow through on commitments, hold boundaries, etc.), provide them space to build trust in our relationship, and by using positive behavior support. I apply these practices age appropriately and adapt them to the child, as infants and younger toddlers, for example, might require more physical affection (snuggles, rocking to sleep) than school age kids. I am putting out feelers to keep working with young children while I decide if I will apply for PhD program or other industry position. I will communicate transparently about these changes, as I know how important it is for you (and me) to build consistency in relationships with littles. In the mean time, however, I can provide quality part-time care, help you out in a pinch if your nanny falls through, or help if you are looking to try out a new sitter on the evenings or weekends :)

Cara was proactive and great at communication, and was a breeze to work with! She took care of our 3mo boy during evenings, which tends to be his most cranky time, and she managed to help him transition peacefully into night sleeps. Both our boy and ourselves loved her and hope to keep working with her!

Rumana A., Child Care in Bellevue, WA 98006 with 4 years of paid experience

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.

Hi everybody! I am a certified math teacher and a boys' basketball coach at a high school in Renton.

I can’t say enough good things about Sara’s care my daughter received. From day one, Sara treated my daughter like her own. She was warm, attentive, and genuine in her care. She consistently honored my role as the mom, always checking in and respecting my wishes. If new opportunities came up, she communicated first making no assumptions, always with thought and consideration. Beyond that, she went above and beyond in creating meaningful experiences for my daughter. From regular trips to the library and children’s museums to book-themed activities, the state fair, cultural outings, the botanical gardens, and the zoo. Every moment was thoughtfully planned and enriching. She even introduced my daughter to different cultures through food, giving her opportunities to try new cuisines in a fun and age appropriate way, and after checking with me to gain my approval. It is rare to find someone who provides such intentional, respectful, and enriching care. I’m incredibly grateful because she made a lasting impact on my daughter’s growth and development.

Rebekah I., Child Care in Bellevue, WA 98006 with 43 years of paid experience

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.

Rebekah is a kind, reliable and intelligent teacher. We have known her for over a year and she has become an integral part of our family. Her greatest strengths are her patience and dedication towards her students as well as the kindness and respect she has towards her students' special needs and individuality. She communicates well with the parents and keeps us updated at all times. She constantly seeks ways to keep her student engaged and happy. All of the above attributes also makes her an excellent choice if you are seeking a caregiver, teacher or babysitter. I would highly recommend Rebekah in this regard.

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.

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.
