Booked by 2 families in Bellevue, WA

Hello, my name is Hattie! I am a graduate from Western Washington University and recently moved to the Seattle area. I offer child care, pet care, and housekeeping services. I have five years of experience caring for toddlers and school age children, and two years of experience in infant care. However, I have been a sitter for friends and family now and then for about eight years. I love children and specifically enjoy crafting, cooking, and reading with them. I have past experience giving music lessons and tutoring so I am happy to incorporate that into child care as well! Additionally, I love pets and have extensive experience with dog and cat-sitting. I am able to board them in my home, care for them in your home, and/or do daily visits. I have experience with all breeds, so no pet is out of the question. Finally, I can offer household services, such as cleaning, cooking, laundry, running errands, general house sitting, and yard work!

“Hattie was responsive, on time, very professional and great with my kids. She played with them the entire time and kept them entertained. My kids warmed up to her immediately and even my son, who is in a VERY clingy mommy stage (20 months old), stayed with her. She had no problem with both my son and 3 year old daughter. ”

Booked by 1 family in Bellevue, WA

Hello, my name is Chloe! I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and recently moved to Seattle after earning my bachelor's degree in Child Development and Family Sciences and a post-baccalaureate in Communication Disorders and Sciences. I am currently pursuing a career in speech-language pathology because I am passionate about supporting children's growth, development, and communication. Working with children has always been the most rewarding part of my life. I currently work with toddlers at a Montessori daycare and have experience working in preschool and K-5 classrooms, including student teaching. I'm patient, dependable, and love incorporating art, imaginative play, and hands-on activities into my work.

Booked by 1 family in Bellevue, WA

Hello there! My name is Clare - I’m a female identifying 26 year old currently living in Capitol Hill. After recently returning from working at the local clinic on San Juan Island this winter, and teaching English to elementary students in Spain last fall, I’m looking forward to spending this next chapter at Seattle University obtaining my Nurse Practitioner Doctorate! With a professional history of 3 years at Seattle Children’s Hospital working as a nursing assistant, supporting a Montessori preschool in north Seattle after graduating from UW in 2022, and extensive childcare experience throughout high school, I’m excited to be able to support another wonderful family. I am CPR certified for infants, children and adults, have experience working on a small organic farm with goats and chickens, and am fully licensed to drive with a personal vehicle as well as a current Washington State CNA license for more extensive care needs. I’m so happy to provide more information about myself and my background as desired, and I so look forward to sharing and connecting!

Booked by 1 family in Bellevue, WA

Hi there! My name is Natalie and I was a babysitter in high school for 3 years. I babysat a little boy from age 2-5 years old over the course of high school. After graduating from Holy Names Academy, I finished my bachelors degree at Bellevue College. I currently work at a real estate office and would love the opportunity to nanny on the weekends and Friday nights! I love children and really enjoy being a reliable resource for families who are looking for childcare. If you have any questions or want to learn more about me, please feel free to reach out!

“Natalie is the best! My 2 little boys loved spending NYE with Natalie. She made the night so fun for them with smores and celebrations. I highly recommend! My boys keep asking when she can come over again. Thanks Natalie!!”
