Hi, I'm Thando! I'm a Seattle-based babysitter available for date nights, weekend outings, and last-minute plans when you need someone you can count on. I currently do regular afternoon care for a family, so I'm used to school pickups, homework, snacks, and keeping things calm and fun until parents get home. I'm warm, patient, and responsible, and I take your house rules and routines seriously, whether that's screen time, bedtime, or dinner. I have a creative background in film, fashion, and events, so I love arts and crafts, music, dress-up, storytelling, and getting kids moving. Originally from South Africa, I bring a lot of warmth and a love for family. I'm available weekdayevenings after 5 p.m. and on weekends 8 a.m. - 8 PM, and I'm happy to help on short notice. I'd love to meet your family and be someone you can call when you need a night out.
Thando has been an incredible blessing to our family for the past three years. She has cared for our three children Selam, Malachi, and Isiah with love, patience, and consistency. From the very beginning, she connected with each child in such a special and understanding way, taking time to learn their personalities, routines, and individual needs. Thando is kind, nurturing, and genuinely attentive. She always goes above and beyond to make sure the children are happy, safe, and engaged. Whether it’s helping with school routines, organizing playtime, or simply being there to comfort them when they need it most, she does everything with care and intention. One of the qualities we appreciate most about Thando is her reliability. She is always on time, extremely responsible, and a safe, confident driver something that gives me complete peace of mind when she’s transporting the kids. Her professionalism and strong sense of integrity have made her someone we trust wholeheartedly. Beyond her work, Thando brings warmth and positivity into our home. She’s respectful, easy to communicate with, and truly treats our children as her own. Over the years, she has become more than just a nanny she’s become part of our family. We are deeply grateful for her dedication, her heart, and the joy she brings to our household every day. I can confidently say that any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Thando caring for their children.
