Find experienced child care providers in Lake City, WA

* 23 years old. * 8 years experience. I’ve shaped my nannying career around my upbringing. As an eldest sibling of 5 and eldest cousin of 20, I’ve always prided myself as a role model and caretaker of children. At 12 years old I started babysitting, and at 15 I started professionally nannying, giving me 8 years of professional experience, specializing in infant/toddler care. (I now take my 15 month old son to my nanny bookings.) Through positive reinforcement, encouraging authenticity, and providing a safe space for children, physically and emotionally, children thrive in my care. I stay emotionally grounded for children to experience the full range of their emotions. Being the the true adventure guide, I always inspire children to explore their curiosity. Being in a large urban area, I understand how important it is to do that in a safe manner. Staying aware of our surroundings at all times, I consistently uphold methods of safety awareness and take pleasure in teaching children how we do that as a team. My favorite activity to do with children is explore outside! All in all, It’s important to me to teach children how to have self responsibility, manners, and accountability through leading by example. By empowering them through everyday tasks completed together and teaching them practical life skills, their confidence grows day by day. I look forward to growing with you and your family!

Hi! I’m Rafaella — a caring, reliable, and experienced sitter with over 6 years of childcare experience. I truly love working with children and feel honored to be a part of their development and everyday moments. My journey started in Brazil, where I worked at a daycare and volunteered with 4–5-year-olds at my church. I later spent 2 years as an au pair in the U.S., caring for children ranging from 6 months to 8 years old. Those years helped me build strong skills in nurturing routines, supporting milestones, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to grow. Currently, I’m working with a family caring for their sweet baby — I started when he was just 5 months old, and now he’s a happy, active 1-year-old! I’m experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-age kids, and I always bring patience, creativity, and responsibility to every family I work with. Whether it’s reading stories, planning activities, or helping with naps and meals, I’m here to support your child’s needs with love and care. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your child with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Hello, My name is Elise. I have been working professionally with children for five years as a nanny, tutor, and camp counselor. When working for families, my goals are providing quality care-giving services while ensuring a fun and safe environment.

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!

Hi everybody! I am a certified math teacher and a boys' basketball coach at a high school in Renton. I attended school at the University of Washington where I obtained my Master's in Teaching in 2020. I've been working with kids for 10 years and have babysat for the past 5 years. I've cared for many families, mostly in date night roles, with kids aged 1 and up. In addition to date nights, I've also helped with weekends/overnights, after school, and full-time babysitting in the summer. Working with kids is something I enjoy doing and is the reason I became a teacher and a coach. I like to spend the time interacting and engaging with the kids. I focus on making sure they have a safe and fun time while in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I'm excited for the opportunity to work with you and your family!
