I am a warm, conscientious,positive and reliable person and the mother of four young adults, one an All survivor. I was active in their schools and activities and am used to those routines. For 13 years I worked with groups of elementary aged children in science enrichment programs as well as supervising and instructing in summer camp settings. 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!

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!

I love helping children discover the world around them using all of their senses and capabilities. I use my own observations of the child's interests and abilities as well as communication with the parents and the child to determine what activities to offer him or her. I enjoy forming a deep connection with the children I care for and strive to pass on my love of learning with them. In addition, I consciously model and encourage compassion, kindness, curiosity, experimentation, respect for others, and an appreciation for the natural and material world. Most of all, I hope to show the child that he or she is loved and wonderful just as she or he is! NOTE: I am allergic to cats, so am unable to work in households with them.

I highly recommend Allison as a babysitter. She is incredibly responsive, super organized, and has the sweetest demeanor. What truly sets Allison apart is her creativity and initiative; she plans engaging activities, like trips to the beach, park, even the pet store. She watched my daughter and her best friend together and she was so amazing at teaching them valuable lessons around sharing and kindness. She is so thoughtful that at the end of each day, she sends a note detailing everything she did with the kids did, along with pictures of them playing together and engaging in fun places. My daughter, who is usually shy, warmed up to Allison immediately, and still talks about her all the time! Knowing she is CPR and first aid certified gives complete peace of mind. We feel incredibly lucky as a family to have met Allison. Any family that has the opportunity to work with Allison will be absolutely thrilled. Pia

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.
