My name is Ashley, and I'm a local nanny with seven years of experience here in Seattle. I've had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of families, providing both full-time care for four families and part-time support for many others. I'm well-versed in caring for children across all age groups, from newborns to teenagers, and have specific expertise in overnight care and caring for twins. I believe in a hands-on approach to nannying, focusing on enriching activities like arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and engaging trips to the library. I also have practical experience assisting with key developmental stages, including introducing solids and navigating potty training. I'm truly passionate about helping children learn and grow, and I'm excited by the prospect of contributing to your family's well-being. I'd be delighted to discuss how my skills and experience align with what you're looking for.

Ashley is a phenomenal nanny. She worked for us for 7 months and the only reason she stopped is because my child is going to daycare now. I highly recommend her.

* 24 years old. * 9 years experience. Hi! I’m Taylor, a dedicated nanny with 9 years of professional experience specializing in infant and toddler care. As the eldest of 5 siblings and eldest cousin to 20, I’ve been a natural caretaker and role model since I started babysitting at age 12 and nannying professionally at 15. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe—physically and emotionally—to express their full range of feelings. Through positive reinforcement, I encourage authenticity, curiosity, and exploration, always prioritizing safety in our urban setting by staying aware of our surroundings and teaching kids to do the same as a team. My favorite way to connect with children is through outdoor adventures! I love empowering them with practical life skills, self-responsibility, manners, and accountability by leading by example and tackling everyday tasks together. Watching their confidence grow is the best part of my day. I’m excited to bring my compassion, grounded approach, and fun energy to your family and grow alongside you!

Taylor did a great job interacting with my son. She read to him, played with him, and took him to the park. We appreciated her calm presence. Thank you Taylor!

I have 12 years of babysitter and nanny experience working with kids. I am patient, interact well with children and am also dedicated to the well upbringing and safety of children. Personally I've raised two girls of my own and is currently an empty nester. Now that I'm no longer a full time mom, I'm taking on some part time jobs assisting other busy parents. I'm also comfortable being around pets. My family moved to WA 23 years ago and I turned a full time mom out of choice. During those years I had the joy of caring for my kids and volunteered as a teacher helper when my younger child started elementary school, helping other children in school with reading and art projects. I taught elementary Singapore Mathematics and substituted for challenged students English classes on Saturdays with Northwest Chinese School when my daughters were attending Chinese lessons there for 3-4 years. Also privately tutored some Taiwanese kids and assisted non-fluent English speakers in the library ESL classes over the years. I believe with proper nurturing and providing children with early learning opportunity can enhance positive child development. I highly value quality education. I am good at reading books to kids and enjoy singing children's songs and rhymes with them. I am great at telling time-tested and children-proved stories. I am good at teaching and making art and craft projects. Also able to handle making healthy kids meals and cleaning after kids with ease. Since the past years to date I have been working part time and occasionally for families with kids ranging from 0 months to 12 years old. I have experience with baby and toddler care. I am currently available for date nights and weekends babysitting. Any other details beyond, I'll be glad to divulge during an interview. Thank you for your consideration.

May is a kind, caring, and wonderful baby sitter. She is detail ordinated and kept us apprised of her actions and care throughout the time she watched our 1 year old daughter. My wife was very impressed on her ability to put our daughter at ease. We highly recommend May.

Fatima has been great with both of our kids - 5 year old and 6 months old. She is very flexible, does funny stuff for my son loves her, and our daughter would just jump on with her with a smile and no anxiety. Fatima helps us as a substitute name of holidays, weekends or some nights when we need some extra help. We will highly recommend her and hire her for all future needs.

My name is Samantha and I am a mother of two youngsters! I have worked for three years as a parent coordinator in co-op preschool with kids from 1 to 5. Additionally, I have nanny experience, new born night care experience and regular babysitter experience. Childcare is by far the best career choice I could have ever made. My approach to childcare is play based and rich in art, books, baking and any other activity kids enjoy. What makes me different from other babysitters is that I come to the job with a range of thoughtful and helpful ideas. Firstly, I help teach children effective solutions for issues that arise for anything from sharing to communicating their needs. Secondly, I go above and beyond to anticipate how I can help parents. This means that at the end of a babysitting night all the toys and dishes are all put back and clean. Lastly, I hope you'll choose me because I am a parent and that gives me an insight into what raising a child feels like. I bring ideas, empathy, and care into my work. I see childcare as a three fold job: caring for the children, the family as a whole and the house. Parents know their children better than anyone so I always take parent input seriously and appreciate any feedback along the way. My schedule: Evenings on weekdays - 7:30pm to 1am. Weekends anytime. My rate is $33/hour for 1 child $35/hour for 2 & 3 children and $ 40 for 4. I can care for up to 6 children in a sitting. (Rates negotiable) Thank you so much!

We reached out for babysitting during an out-of-town wedding. Julie was quick to respond, friendly, and clearly experienced. We ended up going with a family friend, but I'd happily recommend them to other parents.

I have spent my freshmen and Sophomore year (2013-2015) at college working with preschool English language learners. From 2015 to 2018 I worked at Green Tree Early Education center in Downtown Seattle. After graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Early Education, I went for a Masters in Computer Science from Northeastern University. During my corporate career, I worked EST which allowed me to be an afterschool nanny/manny starting during the pandemic. I have worked with 7 different families and my undergraduate education was focused on infants and toddlers. Most of my experience is in transitional care / mothers helper while the families are on a waitlist for childcare centers. However my most recent experience was as a nanny/manny for two boys with Autism Spectrum disorder. I have an outdated first aid and CPR certification but I am almost certain there has not been any significant changes since 2017.

Brian is awesome with kids. He genuinely wants to spend time with them and help them thrive and grow. He has watched our daughter on noumorous occasions and each time he comes up with fun acticities that keep her engaged. Whether its bunny hunting (the bunnies were not harmed) or coloring, Brian is there for it. And after visits my kiddo can't wait to go back.

Hi! I’m a pre-nursing student who has completed my CNA course and Basic Life Support (BLS) training. I also completed my clinicals at Northwest UW Medical Center, where I gained hands-on experience providing compassionate care in a professional healthcare setting. I’m also a volunteer at Seattle Children’s Hospital, where I have the opportunity to spend time supporting and engaging with children in a pediatric healthcare environment. In addition to my healthcare background, I have paid childcare experience caring for children ranging from 11 months old through elementary school age. I have references available upon request from families I’ve worked with. I’m currently working toward earning my BSN in pediatric nursing because I’m passionate about caring for children. Along with my paid experience, I come from a big family and have spent years helping care for younger relatives, giving me confidence working with children of different ages and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. Whether it’s engaging in age-appropriate activities, helping with meals, bedtime routines, homework, or simply providing attentive care, I always make each child’s well-being my top priority. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Akshi J.
Hani was very responsive and saved us on a last minute request for backup care for our 2 year old. She was engaging and helpful with my son. There was some miscommunication from her end on her availability for the days we requested and that misled us in believing we had backup for the remaining days. She also did not communicate on not being okay with laundry and chopping vegetables when asked. Other than those few things she was great to work with! Highly recommend
