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 ;)

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!
