Booked by 3 families in Indianola, WA

Hi! 😊 My name is Sandra and I am currently working as an au pair in Edmonds (Seattle). I am looking for babysitting/nanny opportunities in my free time to earn some extra income. I have experience caring for children of different ages through my studies in Early Childhood and Primary Education, as well as school internships and real classroom experience. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, helping them learn, play, and feel safe. A bit about me: • Responsible, caring and patient • Experience with infants and primary school children • Fluent in Spanish and English • Comfortable with routines, homework help, and creative activities • Flexible schedule (evenings and weekends) I would love to support a family that needs occasional babysitting or a regular nanny. References available upon request. Feel free to message me if you think I could be a good fit for your family!

She is always sweet and always does her best with 3 wild children including an infant. She has came through last minute many times and has stayed later with no complaints. I highly recommend!

Abby 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m currently working as a medical assistant and would love to hang out with your kids! I am energetic, love the outdoors, and have been babysitting for about 13 years. I prefer playing games outside or doing crafts/baking/etc inside than screen time with the kiddos but am flexible and go with the flow. I am a recent college grad and can help with homework or projects too. Let me know if you have any questions!

Abby is so fun! She works really well with kids of any ages and they all love her. She’s baby sat all of my kids (8mo, 5, 8) and they all seem to like her which is hard to come by. I also love that she’s in the medical field because it gives that added confidence that she can handle anything, which as an anxious mama, is huge. She’s reliable, responsible, and quick to answer text messages. My husband and I couldn’t recommend her more.

Booked by 2 families in Indianola, WA

Hi, I’m Molly but most people call me Moon. I am currently going to school at Edmonds College. I’m 20 years old and am currently offering child care and pet care. I worked as a before and after school instructor at Hollywood Hill Elementary through the YMCA for 2 years. I also have experience working at an early childhood daycare and volunteering at a preschool. Through all of this I’ve gotten a lot of hands on experience in childcare, as well as many online trainings and certifications. I have my CPR and First Aid certifications, I also have a drivers license and a clean driving record. On top of my experience in childcare I have a long history with pets. I grew up with many animals and often pet sit for my mom who has dogs, cats, and chickens. I am comfortable with all animals from big dogs to small reptiles. I am also comfortable giving medications if needed.

She was great with the kids and they genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. We’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again.

Mabel 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old with ages 1 yr up to 12 years old. Additionally, I grew up in a big family taking care of my nieces and nephews since they were babies. I have a full time job as a behavior technician providing ABA therapy for kids with Autism and have worked in this field for the past 5 years with ages ranging from 2 years old to adulthood. I love babysitting and would love more opportunities to do so! Love engaging kiddos in crafts, homework, games, and fun activities.

Mabel is such a caring and wonderful babysitter! She is so sweet and my 2 kids adore her. She is reliable and always on time and is flexible with her hours. She has great professional experience with kids and our children always look forward to spending time with her. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dependable and experienced babysitter.

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Indianola, WA

Hello, my name is Pei. After many cherished years as a stay-at-home mom, I am looking forward to returning to the workforce and doing what I know best: taking care of infants. My journey as a mother has deepened my understanding of the unique needs of newborns and their families and I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with others. I have raised three children of my own. My experience in caring for my own children has equipped me with practical skills in infant care, breastfeeding support, and emotional nurturing. I believe that every baby deserves a gentle start in life, and every family deserves compassionate support during those early years. I also offer postpartum services by helping families adjust to life with their new arrival. My goal is to ensure that every family feels supported, informed, and confident as they welcome their little ones. In my free time, you can find me watching the Tennis Channel, listening to my playlist on blast while doing housework, singing, and hopefully playing pickleball soon! And of course spending time with my family. I would be honored to be part of such an intimate time in your life. My heartfelt mission is to lovingly care for your baby, ensuring they feel safe, cherished, nurtured, and supported in every moment.
