Meet college nannies and sitters from University of Washington

With a decade of experience caring for children and seniors, I have developed strong skills in providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. My background includes adapting to various needs, and creating safe, engaging environments for children. From managing daily routines and meal prep to organizing activities that foster learning and creativity, I am committed to ensuring a nurturing experience. In addition to caregiving, I am currently an Office Manager at a medical clinic, where I oversee scheduling, medical records, and administrative tasks. My diverse experience reflects my dedication to responsibility, organization, and providing quality care.

Hi! I’m Seila, a University of Washington graduate with a background in public health and extensive experience working with children. I’ve worked as a substitute teacher, instructional assistant (in both the U.S. and abroad), and tutor, supporting kids from toddlers to middle school. I’m especially great with younger children—I’m patient, attentive, and naturally warm, while also providing structure and consistency. I also have strong experience with middle schoolers, supporting their learning, communication, and behavior in a calm and respectful way. I love engaging kids through play, reading, and creative activities that support their development. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to help with routines like meals, naps, and light tidying. I take pride in creating a safe, positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported.

Hi! I’m Suhur. I’m a college student and experienced in childcare who genuinely loves working with kids and being part of their little world. Whether we’re doing crafts, reading stories or playing outside. I love creating a fun, safe, and comforting environment where children can feel happy and themselves. I’m patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with, and I treat every child with care, kindness, and lots of positive energy!

Hi, I’m Paige and I’m an HCC teacher in Seattle Public Schools. I am certificated to teach K-8, with ample childcare experience. I am CPR certified. I also have experience providing care and support to elders. I am comfortable and confident managing and taking care of multiple people (and pets!) at once. I also have plenty of housekeeping and cleaning experience. I love working with people and getting to know families!

Hi all! My name is Margaret (she/her) and I am, by day, a private practice somatic therapist. I received a BS in Psychology and Family Science and minor in Women's Studies. I received my masters in Social Work from UW. I love working with adults & being in the body, but deeply miss the childcare that I was doing before my career. I have around ~15 years of babysitting experience with kids ranged from 9 months - 14 years old. I love the energy kids have and so appreciate their awe and excitement about the world. I value encouragement, curiosity, creativity, communication, autonomy, and mindfulness in my interactions with kids! I strive to be a thoughtful and caring companion and role model, not a detached authoritative figure. I value boundaries and helping kids learn how to hear and say no, along with trusting their own boundaries and choices. Ultimately, I enjoy being in the fluidity of being with kids - I love making art, singing, dancing, being silly with kids; doing the mundane things such as helping structure chores; engaging in emotionally challenging situations and helping build self-assuredness in feeling through emotions. I highly value relational building with kids and their families and appreciate transparent communication, collaboration, trust, accountability, and overall co-creating safety for your child/ren. I would love to chat more with you and your family to see if this would be a good fit for you all.

I adore children and have two boys myself which I feel is enough for me. I enjoy playing with them especially under 5 when they are cute and fun. But at the end at the day, I would prefer to return to their parents. I can be gentle yet firm for children that like to test boundaries- it allows me to be creative, playful and enjoy seeing their little wheels spinning when I interact with them. In addition, I like pets, but my household have allergy to pet dander so this is one way I can get my baby/ pet fix without having to raise them.

Hi, my name is Jordan. I am a recent college grad from UW Seattle. I am very outdoorsy, personable, compassionate and patient, and I love children and animals! I have been babysitting and pet sitting since I was in high school in 2017. I am currently working full time as a Day Camp Counselor with the Outdoors for All Foundation. I was invited back to summer programming after excelling as a children’s Adaptive Ski Instructor during the winter season. In this role, I supervise and engage youth in adaptive recreational activities, ensuring fun and safety in a camp setting that tailor to individual needs. Along with my co-counselors, I help to promote social development, independence, confidence-building through accessible play and recreation. This role ends at the end of summer, so I am looking for a full time role as a nanny this fall! I have experience babysitting children of all ages, my most recent nanny position was for two boys (6, 4) for the first 6 months of 2025. I prepared breakfast and packed lunches, drove them to school, and picked them up from school when requested. I was also a consistent caretaker for a family in my hometown for a girl and a boy (5, 1) for 3 years. I love taking children on walks/to the park, doing puzzles and learning games, reading to them, cooking and feeding them, and taking them to any necessary appointments, schooling, etc. I have a car so I am available to drive if needed. I have lots of experience with pet-sitting, primarily with large dogs (golden retrievers, doodles, bulldogs, and a German shepherd). I also grew up with dogs my whole life and have never met a dog I didn’t love (also fond of cats, but have less experience pet-sitting cats). I volunteer at the Seattle Humane Society and am a huge lover of pets. Some of my favorite things to do when dog-sitting are going for walks, taking them to the dog park (if they are comfortable with other dogs/people), and spending time with them inside. I have plenty of references if you are looking to get in touch with any of my past contacts. Please reach out to me on this platform if you are in need of assistance!

I’m the oldest sibling and have hands-on experience helping raise 3 siblings, 5 cousins, and 4 nieces and nephews, so caring for kids is second nature to me. I’ve worked with a wide range of ages and know how to balance structure, patience, and fun. I also have experience tutoring and teaching, which allows me to help with homework, keep kids engaged, and support their learning. I’m responsible, attentive, and good at reading kids’ needs, whether that’s keeping them active, calm, or on a routine. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment for every child.

Hello! I am a third grade teacher in Arlington, VA looking for summer babysitting positions. My passion is, and always has been working with kids.

I have two years of full-time classroom experience and have completed a Teacher Certification Program. Additionally, I served with Americorps as an assistant teacher in a fourth grade classroom.

Hi, I am a career nanny who has recently moved from Boulder, CO to Los Angeles. I have 15+ years working as a professional nanny/family assistant. I have a bachelor’s degree in early care and education and a culinary diploma. I am passionate about helping families to thrive and truly love what I do. I am currently working with multiple nanny agencies in order to find my next best longterm fit. In the meanwhile, I am excited about making new connections and helping out families where I can. I love to cook, hike and play games. I’m great at organizing and taking on many additional household tasks outside of caring for children. I am a great communicator and have a very friendly and caring demeanor. I believe in getting children outside to play in nature and making nutritious meals.
