Hi, I'm Myka! I am university student in Seattle and hoping to achieve my bachelor's degree in Developmental Psychology within the next two years. As of right now I am working at early childhood, education school working with children ages 4 months to 6 years. However, will be returning back to campus in early September.

I'm always ready to lend a helping hand with homework or chores. I'd describe my personality as outgoing, compassionate, and lively. In my spare time, I like to explore the water with my golden doodle or try new recipes in the kitchen. I hope to hear from you soon :)

Hi families! I am Lyly and am very excited to be working for a new family! My last nanny family’s kids just started school so they no longer need childcare. I have over 15 years experience working with children - 13 years as a nanny for many families and 2 years as a Montessori teacher assistant for University of Washington Children's Center. I have worked with children of all ages, from newborns as early as 1 month old to teens. I currently live in Federal Way so I am hoping to find a new long term family who lives in the surrounding cities and will need childcare for at least 30-40 hours a week, but am possibly open for short term or part time as well. I received my ECE (Early Childhood Education) Certification in December of 2009, after my internship at Renton Technical College. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for reading! Lyly

Hi! My name is Josie. I have been a babysitter and nanny for various families since I was 12 (I’m now 30). I have worked with ages 8 months-15 years old.

If you are interested, I can help out with light cleaning and organizing. I love doing laundry too! I also pet-sit, so if you have pets that’s not an issue. Please reach out if you have any questions. I’m looking forward to learning more about you and how I can best meet your family’s needs!

I’m currently working toward my degree in psychology, which has deepened my understanding of child development and how to connect with kids of all ages. I’ve been babysitting for six years, providing care for multiple families, and I’ve worked with children ranging from 2 months to 15 years old. Throughout my experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for kids at different stages of development. Whether it’s bottle-feeding infants, playing with toddlers, helping school-aged kids with homework, or providing guidance to teenagers, I adapt my approach to meet the unique needs of each child. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, so I’m trained to handle emergencies if they arise. I’m comfortable with everything from general supervision to helping with transportation, and I also have a reliable vehicle for any pickup or drop-off needs. I take pride in offering safe, nurturing care while building trust with both children and parents. I’m excited to learn more about your family and how I can assist you!
