Anna Christina $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a youth and adolescent mental health clinician who loves being a mentor using play, art, and activities to help kids grow. I have years of experience working with children of all ages, from kindergarten through adolescence. I have experience as a nanny as well and have worked with adults from age 18 to 65. Pets have been in every part of my life and I love taking care of all animals. Even reptiles! My professional experience at Seattle Children’s Hospital has given me the opportunity to do what I love in childhood mental health work. We engage children in emotional regulation, social development, life skills and crisis intervention using research based interventions that are fun. My favourite activities to do with youth is playing games like uno, crafting, creative writing, and pretend play. I hold a BA in Psychology, am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work, and have certifications in crisis intervention and CPR/BLS. Some of my favourite things to do on my downtime include cooking, baking, reading, knitting, train running, gardening and watching movies. I can’t wait to bring some fun, laughter, and creativity to your family!

kaje $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Kaje (Pronounced Cage), a warm, grounded, and dependable caregiver with naturally sunny disposition and nearly 50 years of hands-on experience. I truly believe that children teach us how to play, animals teach us how to love, and our elders teach us how to live. ​Childcare & Family Support: As a parent and proud grandparent to two wonderful kids (ages 4 and 5), I bring decades of real-world experience in creating safe, engaging, and joyful environments. My caregiving journey started early with neighborhood babysitting, and today I love being an active, steady presence for the playful and wise ones in my life. Whether reading stories, assisting with daily routines, facilitating creative play, or helping with after-school pickups, I meet children with patience, warmth, and genuine care. ​Senior & Elder Care: I hold our older generations in the highest regard. Seniors possess an incredible wealth of wisdom, life experience, and relevance that deserves deep respect and reverence. I cared for my grandmother while she was in elder care, and I had the profound privilege of providing full late-stage and end-of-life care for my mother. This included managing complex medication routines (including pain management under medical guidance), maintaining personal comfort and dignity, and offering steady emotional presence. I bring that same gentleness, honor, and attentive care to every senior I support. ​Pet Care & Sentient Companions: Animals are extraordinary, intelligent sentient beings, and I adore caring for them. I am a lifelong dog owner—previously loving an abused Pitbull, and currently sharing my home with our chiweener . I provide attentive pet sitting, walking, feeding, and genuine companionship for your furry family members. ​Communication, Emotional Balance & Household Support: With 20 years as a certified life coach, I bring strong emotional grounding and clear communication to every role. I excel at staying calm and centered—helping young children navigate big emotions while offering parents transparent, reliable updates. In addition to caregiving, I am happy to assist with household errands, grocery runs, and light organization to keep your home running smoothly. ​Whether your family needs trusted childcare, compassionate senior companionship, pet care, or dependable errand support, I look forward to bringing warmth and stability to your home.

Booked by 1 family in Bothell, WA

Hi, my name is Reese! I'm a caring and responsible babysitter who enjoys spending time with kids of all ages. I have plenty of childcare experience and always make sure children are safe, engaged, and having fun. Whether it's playing games, going on walks, reading books, or helping with routines, I’m very attentive and patient. Recently, I worked for a family with 1 infant and 1 toddler. Some of our favorite things to do were going on walks to the playground and library. In addition to babysitting, I would consider myself an active person who enjoys working out, hiking, and horseback riding. I would describe myself as friendly, dependable, respectful, and I always strive to create a positive environment for the families I work with. I recently graduated from college with a bachelors degree and I plan to pursue a career as a paralegal in the future.

“Reese was a great babysitter for our infant son! We would happily work with her again and recommend her for other families. She was very professional, timely, and responded quickly to messages. She took care of our little one while we were out for an evening. She played with him, fed him dinner, and put him through the bed time routine.”

Booked by 1 family in Bothell, WA

Hello my name is Marley! I went to school for Music Education. I have been working with children for over ten years. I am grateful for each opportunity to learn what makes kids excited about learning, and exploring the natural world. I have been a camp counselor, a private flute teacher, and a music intern in two elementary schools and one middle school. I will be student teaching next fall 2027. I would love to be able to help care for the kids in the community.

“Marley was wonderful with our 4-year-old! She is so patient and really knows how to play with kids — she even brought her own toys, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our daughter had a blast and by the end of the visit they were like best friends; she didn't want Marley to leave! We'd happily book her again.”
