Willow has been an exceptional caregiver for our 1-year-old twins since August 2024. She ensures they are dressed, fed breakfast, and ready for the day, always arriving on time and following instructions perfectly. Her attention to detail, including creating lovely hairstyles for our little girl, shows her dedication and care.

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.

For the last five years I have worked as a before school nanny for one family, and afternoons as a family assistant to another family with teenagers. For three years I have been an after school/camp nanny for 2 additional families. I also provide child care nights and weekends for several other families on an occasional basis. I love working with children, watching them grow and develop their special talents. I have a flexible schedule and try to accommodate your needs.

Kimberly was great to work with. Her attention to my cats made me feel confident in her care. There were no worries during our absence and the kitties were well adjusted when we returned. Thank you, Kimberly!

Hi, my name is Mavis, I graduated from college a couple of years ago and worked as a graphic designer and artist for a while. I recently went back to school for some professional training. I started babysitting 9 years ago, I’ve been giving care to infants, toddlers and older kids. At the same time, I work with kids in age 3-14 as an art teacher. I get along with kids pretty well, and I enjoy my time with them. I am a patient and caring person. I like animals, especially dogs. In my past caregiving experience, I usually make art with kids, play the piano, go on walks to parks, pickup and provide simple meals, singing, dancing, reading books, etc. I am looking forward to meet your family and offer my help!

Mavis is great with our now 11 month old. Our daughter is always excited to see Mavis, she smiles and reaches out for Mavis when she shows up. Mavis has also been great with our dog, who is not a typical "easy" dog. Communication is very important to me, and Mavis has also proven herself to be a great communicator via phone and in person. She also send photos when I am at work, an added bonus for a mama who is missing her baby girl.

Hello! My name is Maya and I just moved to downtown Minneapolis. I’m originally from Honolulu, Hawaii but I moved to Washington in 2020 for school, and I graduated from UW in 2024 with my B.S in speech and hearing sciences! I worked at an early childcare center with infants-pre-k children from 2021-2024 and have babysat since 2021. I am currently CPR/First-Aid certified. I currently work as a speech therapist! I have had the amazing opportunity to work very closely and co-treat with occupational therapists and mental health therapists so I have been able to learn some strategies from therm. I previously worked providing speech therapy for a school district in Washington where I got to collaborate with resource, life skills, and SEL teachers so I am very familiar with various SpEd departments!

We had a wonderful experience with Maya. She was kind, patient, and immediately connected with our 6‑year‑old. She kept him engaged with games, dinner, and a smooth bedtime routine. We came home to a happy kiddo and a calm house. We would absolutely hire her again!

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!

We have been very fortunate to have Cyndie care for our daughter, Leyan, from about 14 to 22 months old, usually three mornings a week. She is patient, calm, dependable, and genuinely caring, and she quickly became someone our daughter and family trust very much. Cyndie has a wonderful way of meeting young children where they are. When Leyan was more cautious around others, she never pushed her and gave her time to warm up at her own pace. As Leyan became more active and social, Cyndie happily adapted, playing with her, reading with her, taking her on walks and to the playground, and keeping her engaged throughout the morning. She is also very good at balancing empathy with gentle, consistent boundaries and routines. I have always felt completely comfortable leaving Leyan in her care. Cyndie is attentive, experienced, punctual, communicative, and respectful of our family’s routines and preferences. She is also flexible when schedules or needs change and has been very easy to work with. Most importantly, Leyan genuinely loves spending time with her and has developed a strong sense of trust and comfort with her. Our regular arrangement is ending only because Leyan is starting daycare this fall, and it is a bittersweet transition for our family. I would gladly recommend Cyndie to any family looking for a patient, dependable, experienced, and caring nanny.

Saanvi was an absolute gift to our family. She cared for our two-year-old with so much warmth, energy, and genuine love - exactly what a toddler needs! She was hands-on, playful, and incredibly flexible, which made every day feel great. What stood out just as much was how professional and reliable she was. She was always punctual, respected our schedule, and communicated beautifully throughout. We always felt informed and completely at ease. We could not recommend Saanvi more highly. She is great with children!
