I enjoy engaging with children of all ages in safe, fun and educational activities. I worked at a busy kid's club for 18 years with children ranging in age between 6 months and 12 years old. I currently work with children at a nursery. I have held a wide range of babysitting jobs. I have a number of clients who request me regularly.

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 babysat and been a nanny for about 4 years now. I love being with kids, whether it’s playing with them, taking them to activities, tutoring, or watching movies! I am CPR and BLS certified as well as having my nursing assistant license and took a babysitting course through Evergreen Health!

Melina babysat my kids a few nights ago. She was flexible, on-time, and polite. My kids really enjoyed having her as a babysitter and even asked if she can babysit them again.

Hello Families! I am a mature & highly experienced long-time American Nanny, who is Washington State Certified in Early Childhood Education. I’ve worked in childcare for many years in Europe, as well as within the United States. My specialization is in infant-toddler development, aiding them in achieving their milestones, as well as healthy growth. Safety & security is top priority. In the past I have taught in the public school system, largely with pre-K, but as well through the upper grades. I've learned to individualize care in teaching on a child's own personal level. I’ve raised my own child, who is now grown on on their own. Looking forward to being part of a family support for your loved one, in growing, learning, & in experiencing the world. My added degree in Art & Design, helps with many creative projects for kids. My current interest lies in natural health & wellness. I enjoy hiking & the outdoors. Comfortable with pets & house chores. Willing to help all run smoothly along with childcare. I am looking to help with childcare within the SEATTLE AREA ONLY. ( Preferably North Seattle.) Excellent client references. I have just finished helping a family who has since moved.( Child is in preschool now.) Looking forward to meeting you! Sue

Sue watched our daughter (now three years old) 3/days a week and some date nights for two years and she was amazing!! Not only was she completely reliable and our daughter loved her, but she really went above and beyond to decide games/activities that fit our daughter’s intellectual level and inspired learning.

* 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!

Hello Everyone! My name is Karen. I have been a Special Education teacher for 12 years now, 11 years in NYC Department of Education and 1 year in Seattle Public Schools. I have experience working with children of all ages ranging from 6 months to 15 years of age and also range in breadth of experience (babysitter, nanny, tutor, community life skills). I am currently going back to school part time to explore a creative passion of mine, however, I would still love the opportunity to work with children in some capacity! I would describe myself as a very loving person, honest, kind, I am a huge animal lover, passionate about loving our planet, and above all a big kid who likes to be goofy and fun. Please reach out with any questions you may have! Hope to speak with you soon. Warmly, Karen

Karen watched my 1-year-old a few times. My daughter absolutely loved her. She took great care of her and would send me updates throughout the day while I was at work. Karen is very sweet and caring. She communicates very well and is always on time. Unfortunately, my schedule changed, and we no longer have her, but I would absolutely recommend her Karen was wonderful!

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!

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!

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

My name is Olive. I am a mom to 6-year-old girl. I came to Seattle with an Au pair (live-in nanny) program in January, 2008. I graduated Bachelor's degree in faculty of Education, majoring in kindergarten and worked as a kindergarten teacher for eight months in Thailand . I worked as an Au pair to take care of two boys since they were 2 and 4 years old. I also worked as a babysitter for 6 months and 3-year-old boys. My second year of au pair program, I worked for a family with 12 and 14 years old which one of them was a special need child. I have been working for a nice family on Mercer Island for six years, taking care of 4 kids. I got Montessori training in 2011 and I was a full-time lead teacher in Montessori school for 5 years. Safety first for children! I love to read a story, sing and dance with kids. Playing outside and field trip are always fun! Nothing better than watching the kids and support them to grow, play, and learn new things ;)

Olive first took care of our daughter when she was 1.5 years old, and she's the first person we call whenever we need a babysitter. Olive is caring and experienced, and our daughter loves playing with her. Thanks Olive!

Hi, I’m Sandra and I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years now. It’s been such a rewarding experience to work with children of all ages, watching them grow and develop while being able to create fun and safe environments for them. From playtime to helping with schoolwork, I’ve learned how to adapt to different needs and personalities, making sure each child feels comfortable and cared for. Babysitting has truly been a joy, and I’d love to continue helping out families who need an extra hand!
