Booked by 7 families in Bothell, WA

Hi, I’m Lydia Grace! I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a BS degree in Biology and am taking two gap years before attending medical school with a focus in maternal-child health. I am also certified in CPR/First Aid for Adults, Children, and Infants, so safety and reliability are always my absolute top priorities in the household. I have worked as a childcare provider for 4 years, gaining extensive experience across a wide range of age groups and developing the skills to confidently care for up to four children at once. I care deeply about contributing to children’s growth and well-being, and I recognize the vital importance of age-appropriate activities. I love leading kids in engaging crafts, outdoor play, and reading to support their ongoing developmental milestones. Additionally, I have a background in tutoring and am always happy to help with homework, especially in STEM subjects and Spanish. I am also completely comfortable preparing healthy meals for the kids and keeping the house tidy and organized. I look forward to bringing a blend of fun, developmental engagement, and reliable, safety-focused care to your family! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. :)

“She’s great with the kids and very sweet. ”

Hello families, as my contract is coming to an end soon, I am searching for a new part-time role in the mornings. Availability: 20-30 hours weekly, between 6 AM and 12 PM. A little bit about me: - I have a reliable car. - Clean driving record. - CPR certified. - Non-smoker. - Up to date with all vaccines. - Bilingual (Portuguese and English). - Very outdoorsy. I am enthusiastic, energetic, caring, and patient. I am also very punctual and love pets. North Seattle is preferable, but I’m happy to travel further for the right fit.

I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person. I have over two years of experience as a preschool teacher, where I worked with children in early childhood education, helping them learn, play, and grow in a safe environment. I also have my STARS hours completed and I am CPR certified and First Aid certified for children, which gives parents peace of mind that safety is always my priority. Beyond my certifications, I truly enjoy working with kids, supporting their development, and creating fun, engaging activities that are also educational. Families can rely on me to be organized, attentive, and nurturing.

Booked by 8 families in Bothell, WA

Hi! 🌟 My name is Gabriela and I have over 8 years of experience working with children, always with love, responsibility, and dedication. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, ideally 4–5 hours a day, Monday through Friday, as I’m growing my own small business and looking for a schedule that allows me to balance both. My ideal hours would be 9:00 AM–1:00 PM or 8:00 AM–12:00 PM/1:00 PM, but I’m flexible. I truly enjoy organizing and creating calm, functional spaces, so I’d be happy to work as a Mother’s Helper, helping with household organization, laundry, tidying up, meal prep for the kids, and other light household tasks. I’m also available to help care for children if needed. I have several years of nanny experience and genuinely love working with kids. If you or someone you know is looking for an extra set of hands during the day, I’d love to connect! 📚 Experience with multiple age groups 🗣️ Trilingual: Portuguese | English | Spanish 🫶🏼 Caring, patient, and reliable ✅ References available Thank you 💛

“Gabby is very professional and demonstrated great communication skills throughout the process. Our kids loved having her over. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we are looking for a sitter and would highly recommend to other parents. ”

Booked by 13 families in Bothell, WA

Hey guys! My name is Laura, I'm 28 years old, I have a law degree from Brazil and I currently provide child and pet care in Seattle. In my home country, I worked with children aged 0 to 14 (several at the same time!) in a playground, as a monitor, and I also provided care for my younger sister for several years (she is currently 9 years old!) . In Seattle, I have extensive experience caring for infants (including twins!) and toddlers. In addition to changing diapers, offering bottles and healthy foods and lots of affection and love, I also have experience with food introduction, games for milestone development and simple sign languages ​​for infant communication. I also love listening to music, entertaining and exercising the imagination of children of all ages! I am also available to clean areas related to children and I have good experience with this. Finally, I have lived with pets my entire life and can act as a sitter for them with all the affection and happiness that your pet deserves.

“Laura was wonderful with our 3 year old. He was having a very hard time with us leaving and she was calm, sweet, and handled it so well. She texted us soon after we left, letting us know that everything was going well. She was also on time and very communicative. We would love to work with her again soon!”
