Jo Yee $35 per hour for 1 child

My background includes supporting families with children on consistent routines, balancing the needs of multiple kids, and ensuring safe, engaging days filled with age‑appropriate activities. I’m confident in managing feedings, diaper changes, and maintaining sleep schedules while keeping play areas tidy. I also enjoy preparing healthy meals and supporting household routines, including washing bottles and baby dishes, so parents can relax and enjoy their weekends. Families I’ve worked with value my calm and caring presence, especially during busy moments when infants and toddlers need different kinds of attention at the same time. I’m also comfortable driving around Seattle for outings or errands if needed. I’d love to become a trusted partner in your children’s care and bring a joyful, nurturing energy to your home.

Arahmy $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Arahmy. I’m a medical school graduate currently studying for my medical boards before applying to residency, and I’m looking to offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support. I’m a patient, responsible, and loving caregiver who genuinely enjoys playing with kids and supporting families. While my years of experience have been caring for older adults, I also have some babysitting experience, though it has been on and off over the past few years. I’m happy to help with homework, activities, errands, and household tasks like cleaning and meal prepping. For those only looking for a household helper I would also be willing to help with any household tasks to make your week go smoother. I am bilingual in Spanish and also love pets—I can help take care of them, including walks, feeding, and playtime. My goal is to provide reliable, safe, and nurturing care while making life a little easier for the families I work with.

Laura Valentina $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Valentina and I have been caring for children since I was 17, with about five years of experience. I have worked with babies, toddlers, and children up to 10 years old, including experience in daycare settings. I love planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, music, reading time, and playing at the park to support each child’s development in a fun and creative way. As a person, I am very calm, respectful, and patient, and I believe in teaching children healthy habits through daily routines and example. I care for every child with love, respect, and a strong sense of responsibility, always prioritizing their safety and emotional well-being. I am also comfortable helping with light housekeeping and keeping the children’s spaces organized and tidy.

Ava $20 per hour for 1 child

I have always babysat and loved it. I mostly did family friends and neighbors but had work with people that I just met, too. I am too soft for my own good. It is good for the kids though. I have done services ranging from babysitting to cleaning houses. I always do my best to ensure a good experience to the one I’m caring for. I do love babies specifically and hope to get more experience with newborns.
