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'm excited for the opportunity to work with you and your family!

Hello families! My name is Daikwan (however, I do go by Ryan). I am currently employed through Bellevue School District working as an educator for 3rd and 4th grade students. My prior experience working with children include working as a TA in a middle and elementary school setting, summer camp/after-school educator, and 2 years of prior nanny/babysitter experience as well. I have been in the Seattle area for about 1 year and 3 months currently and I have loved every second of the being in the PNW. Originally from the east coast, I started my chapter in Washington last September to embrace a fresh start, establish and develop new connections, and to work towards completing my last year of nursing school.

I am a responsible, punctual, and caring professional with a deep passion for childcare and teaching. Currently, I work as a lead teacher in a preschool classroom with 1-year-old children, where I enjoy creating an environment full of learning, play, and love. I have experience caring for autistic children, tailoring activities and strategies to meet their unique needs. I provide support with tasks such as preparing healthy snacks, assisting with potty training, helping during nap time, and designing activities that stimulate motor skill development. I am inspired by Montessori principles, fostering independence and learning through discovery. I firmly believe that every child is unique, and I enjoy the opportunity to learn from them while supporting their growth in a safe and nurturing environment.

I wanted to become a babysitter because I enjoy working with children’s and I find it rewarding to be able to provide care and being present in there life and support for families who need help. I also like the flexibility and variety that comes with babysitting, as every day is different and presents new challenges and opportunities for learning and growth.

Hello families! My name is Donaisha, but I go by Dee. I am originally born and raised in California, and have been a resident here in Washington for about 5 years now. I am a mother to a beautiful, sweet, smart, funny, outgoing and friendly 6 year old daughter (Kenya). I call her my assistant as she sometimes has to accompany me to jobs I pick up here. She is the reason I began my nanny journey back in 2017. During the past 6 years I have done pretty much every setting when it comes to childcare! Such as, day cares, baby sitting, date nights, overnight care, Montessori teacher, private home educator, learning pods, camp counselor, and tutoring. It’s truly a passion of mine to not only be apart of experiencing these kiddos growth, but also being able to help take the load off of parents who may be juggling a lot. I am Montessori certified, CPR and first aid certified, and up to date with all vaccines. My schedule is currently open and flexible for this upcoming summer and I would love to meet and connect with more families!

Hi! I'm Cyndie. I'm a mother of 3 boys; they are older now so I have flexibility in work and in play! I have twins that were 9 1/2 weeks premature and a 3 year old at the time soI I definitely know how to juggle children and family responsibilities I enjoy watching kids' sports. My boys played soccer since they were 3 years old, t-ball, baseball, basketball, track & field and football. I was a really active parent. I was Vice President of the PTA, VP of Membership, Chairperson of Family Fun nights and an Art Docent for their classrooms for two years. I also participated in booster clubs to raise money for the sports. I enjoy walking, bike riding, easy/moderate hiking (nothing too crazy!). I belong to the YMCA where I take Zumba, cycling, a weight class, yoga, pilates and cardio/weights. I just recently bought a guitar and I plan on taking lessons. I am very close to my 3 sons so I enjoy doing various things with them. In addition, I have a 13 year old dog, who thinks he's a puppy! In the past, I worked 7 years at the Kent School District, both in the office and as an Instructional Assistant. I worked some with autistic children and children with learning disabilities. To work at the school district, I had an extensive background check and also I had to be fingerprinted. To my background is squeaky clean! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! Enjoy your day!

Hello! I am a born and raised 30 year old Seattlite. I have been a babysitter/nanny in the area for 17 years, starting at the age of 13. I have always loved working with kids. I have a BA degree in Early Childhood Education and have worked as a babysitter, full time nanny and daycare provider. I am currently looking for occasional sitting jobs and temporary/substitute nanny jobs. I love to play and learn with children by providing a comforting and rich experience where kids feel safe and engaged while they’re in my care . I understand my role as a professional babysitter/nanny to be an extension of the child’s parents. I aim to adapt my childcare style for each individual family to provide the children with familiar expectations and routines. I believe that play is a child’s work so I aim to provide experiences and activities that enhance their play. High quality play stimulates learning and creates a strong bond between the child and the person they’re playing with. I enjoy getting on the floor and engaging children with play to create a feeling of trust and safety while they’re in my care. Each stage of a child’s development brings a different childcare experience, making it difficult for me to have a preferred age. My favorite activities to do with kids are arts/crafts/sensory play, spending time outside exploring, reading books and playing games. I balance play and caregiving while making sure that children understand and follow the expectations and rules set by their parents. Outside of childcare, I do housesitting and dog walking in my spare time. I am an animal lover and am comfortable with both dogs and cats (and most other critters!) In my free time I try to get outside as much as possible. I spend a lot of time with my family, listening to podcasts and eating good food. I am vegetarian but am comfortable cooking and serving meat.

I believe children should be nutured with love & respect. An educational interaction should be carried out daily like learning numbers & colors. Children are a precious gift. I worked for 11yrs as a para educator for the Renton School District,grades k-12 and loved it very much. I've cared for triplet boys from 6wks until they were 3yrs old and at that time they started preschool. I love to Read and interact our stories with pictures and music. I will always have a journal of your baby’s activities for the day including diaper changes and bottles. I will bathe baby daily if you so choose.
