Imani A.|Seattle, WA

$20-30/hr • 4 yrs exp

Part-time Caregiver/Babysitter Available!

Responds within a day

Hi! My name is Imani, and I am a certified babysitter. Currently, I am grad student at the UW. I am experienced, creative, and energetic. I have taken several babysitting courses, so I am prepared to take care of kids of all ages, and I have an awareness of young children's needs. I have provided care-giving services to children and their families in a variety of ages. I love spending time with children, and I am also safety conscious and mature. I am hard-working, caring, and am American Red Cross certified of CPR and first aid. I have my own transportation, as well.

Devin N.|Seattle, WA

"New Babysitter"? How About "New Friend"?

Responds within half an hour

I'm a hard working, responsible, fun loving young woman. I've been told I am an adaptive problem solver as well as punctual. Organization is one of my passions in addition to working with children. I love playing games as well as making tasty (but healthy) snacks. I've never had a little sibling (besides my twin sister) but have always found myself enjoying looking after with kids. No matter if it was just watching a friend's child for a short amount of time or the few months I spent as a counselor in training at my childhood summer camp. I've always had positive experiences. I enforce rules but don't believe in unreasonable punishment. I love helping others so that could be a plus when it comes to homework. As an inducted member of the International Thespian Society, acting is a big part of my life. So when it comes to playing pretend, I'm your gal! I am CPR/first aid certified and currently watch children 5 years and up. I do not drive yet, but I either bus or Lyft.

Devin is an incredibly caring, hard working individual. She always went above and beyond helping the residents that we worked for. Any time a problem would arise she was on the ball and stepped up going above and beyond what was asked of her to help out. She is a constant critical thinker and is someone you can rely on for help no matter what.

Nikki P.|Tukwila, WA

Full-time Nanny Seeking Extra Babysitting Opportunities

Responds within half an hour

Currently only seeking occasional babysitting jobs I love working with children and support them in everything they need. I am highly experienced in caring for children of all ages. I am familiar in working with both boys and girls, twins and multi-age families, and also have experience with special needs, including children on the autistic spectrum. I am a high-energy, fun-loving, idea-filled person with a lot of love to give! I like to come up with fun curriculum and outings, and incorporate age-appropriate education into play. I'm an animal-lover and have two cats at home. I'm a runner and have recently been doing yoga daily, so I try to stay fit and active. I enjoy outdoors and camp and hike whenever I can, but also enjoy indoor activities like playing board games with friends, doing puzzles, and reading. I'm a fan of anime and have a soft spot for Disney! I've been taking great care with safety precautions regarding the current Covid19 pandemic and am happy to discuss further

Nikki is a wonderful, caring, energetic individual. She was a nanny for three years for our son and our daughter - one and 3.5 at the start through to four and 6.5 years old. Nikki brings an incredible positive and grounded energy that keeps the kids motivated and calm and engaged. She was always reliable and fully present with the kids, whether it was coming up with creative activities, art projects, and outings for the kids at all their ages or in juggling playdates as well as preschool and activity drop-offs and pick-ups when the kids were older. She consistently got outside daily with the kids in all weather and helped support healthy eating and habits. She's a clear communicator and easy to partner with as parents. She will be a great addition to your family!

Kailey H.|Seattle, WA

$20-30/hr • 2 yrs exp • 24 yrs old

Part-Time Nanny/Caregiver/Babysitter

Responds within 4 hours

I am a recent graduate from Western Washington University where I majored in Linguistics and Chinese, minored in Spanish, and got my certification for Teaching English as a Second Language. During my time at Western and shortly afterward, I cared for families in the Bellingham and Seattle areas. My love for looking after and playing with the children that were put in my care inspired me to take on a few positions teaching young students who were learning English as their second language. My most recent job gave me the opportunity to work in Taiwan with students ages 3-12. It was an amazing experience that I will cherish forever. Now that I have returned to the States, I am wanting to continue following my passion for working with children while I am in the process of applying for Speech-Language Pathology Programs in Seattle. In all the positions I have taken in both teaching and nannying, I am always sure to bring a fun and positive energy to my care.

Playful, Creative Babysitter With Experience And An Open Mind To Opportunities.

Responds within half an hour

Hello there! I am currently working full time with a family and won't be able to take on more jobs at the moment. I will update if things change! If you're looking for childcare and companionship for your children, I just might be your girl. I have experience with children of all ages, and I've been in the babysitting/nanny business since my early teens. I love exploring new places and experiences with my nanny kids, and encourage curiosity and trying new things. I also try my very best to inspire creativity and value active play and imagination over screen time. Some of my favorite activities with kids are arts and crafts, exploring new parks, local story times, and playing outside or going for walks.

Kelli K.|Seattle, WA

Experienced Babysitter, Nanny, Teacher And, Most Importantly, Mother Looking For Regular Hours

Responds within a few days

I love working with babies, but have worked with all ages of children in a variety of situations, including tutoring, teaching and camp counseling. I also raised two of my own children who are now in college. I also have experience as a nurses aide, so am comfortable in emergency situations.

Reviewed by Marlies K. May 2020 5/5 stars

Kelli was a wonderfully thoughtful and engaged nanny for our family. We hired her after an exhaustive search for a long-term nanny for our daughter. She was reliable, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in our daughter's development, as well as in our parenting preferences. You could really see the wealth of her experience in her ability to see the coming stages of our kiddo's development and tailor activities to help her grow. She developed a quick bond with our daughter, who really enjoyed playing, singing and exploring outdoors with her (back when that was a thing). Were it not for how COVID has impacted our family needs, we would certainly still be working with her. We feel very fortunate to have found such a caring addition to our family and would hire Kelli again a heartbeat.

Fun And Caring Babysitter Who Loves To Laugh

Responds within 5 hours

I grew up as one of the "big kids" in my family, so I started watching over and helping take care of the younger kids super early on. Since then, I've been babysitting and nannying for over 8 years! I'm comfortable with kids ranging from ~1 year to teenagers. I love hanging out with kids and having fun, but also making sure we get the things we need to do done. Being outdoors and running around is always fun, but I enjoy being inside and playing games too! I have experience tutoring and am more than willing to help with homework and/or virtual learning. Also willing to help with laundry, meals, light housekeeping, transportation, etc.!

We've referred her to another family as well and would hire Jessica again!

Experienced Babysitter With Over 10 Years Of Experience. Mother Of One 6 Year Old Boy.

You know the teenage girl that couldn't help but ask to touch your pregnant belly or hold your newborn baby? That was me. I felt built for motherhood and dove into every babysitting gig I could snatch up. After taking care of littles at church on Sunday and date night babysitting jobs, I continued to bring this love into my adulthood. I've cared for newborn babies, school aged twins, toddlers and teenagers. With kids of my own I know the importance of finding someone you can trust and expecting the best/safest care.

Allie was a nanny for our baby boy for 6 months and we can't say enough nice things about her. She joined us when our baby was 11 months old. She was very punctual, committed, extremely loving and caring, responsible, and so much fun. She brought her 9 year old son with her who was like an older brother to our baby and so mature and caring for his age. She became an extension of our family and we continue to remain in touch. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Creative And Patient ABA Therapist Available To Babysit Occasionally!

I have not only taught children of all ages, having provided ABA therapy for kids with autism for the last 11 years, but I have also babysat for the last 16. My strengths are an unwavering patience (no seriously - moms ask me all the time how I do it) coupled with endless creativity. This creativity helps me come up with fun games to play, healthy meals to feed, and different ways to connect with individual children. Every kid is different, but I am great at figuring out what makes a certain child tick, and using that to engage in fun activities in a safe environment.

Nanny/Babysitter Available - Part Time

Responds within half an hour

I love playing a vital role in nurturing children at a critical and impressionable stage in their lives. When my younger sister of 13 years was born, I helped my mother raise her throughout her entire infancy and young childhood before leaving for college. While at UW, I was a leader that mentors students through the college application process. At my church each week while their parents attend service, I lead toddlers in worship, prayer, story time, and play time from March 2013 - September 2016. I also was a summer camp counselor for 2nd graders in 2013. From Sept 2013 Feb 2014, I did a nanny share (ages 8 mo 6 yrs). It was a positive opportunity for growth to take care of multiple children from multiple families. While care giving for adults with mental and developmental disabilities, I acquired valuable professional skills related to health care. I also have EMT training, but continue to nanny part time. Most of my 15+ years of childcare experience is with newborns/infants.

Hello! My name is Alassandra and I am super excited to get to know you and your family! I have been working with children professionally for about 5 years now and I love it! I am the oldest of 4 so I was always the designated babysitter for both my siblings and cousins. I have worked as a summer camp counselor each year since 2015 and worked with kids age 7-14. In 2019, I worked as a preschool assistant teacher for toddlers age 1-2 and that was always a crazy fun time. Most recently I have been a nanny for almost a year to 5 and 11-year-old kids. I have also babysat countless times for many families with newborn babies all the way up to 13 years old.

Alassandra cared for my 4 year old son for only a couple months part time, and I really wished I could have had her more often and found her sooner. My son always looked forward to her coming over. She was always on time, cleanly, brought crafts/activities for them to do together, went for bike rides around the neighborhood, trips to the park, and respected all our wishes and expectations. She left the house tidy and clean before she left and made me feel confident my son was in good hands while I needed to be away. I was sad to hear she was moving, but have no doubt she will succeed in whatever she chooses to do next. I would hire her again in a heart beat!
