Hi, I’m Ashley! Im a recent grad school graduate with a flexible schedule and availability during the work week and most weekends. I’ve babysat all throughout my life and love working with kids. I have tutored in math, history and science in the past, as well. I’m very patient, kind, easygoing, organized, and detail oriented so I will be able to provide your child with the care they need while I’m with them. I love animals so I can also help look after any pets as well. I love to cook and bake, so I can make healthy, delicious meals for your child if need be!

Ashley is a lovely person - she was very kind when babysitting a sick kid staying home from school, and made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing.I would love to work with her again!

Hello :) I am a mother of two teenage daughters. I have a degree in Elementary Education and over 10 years experience as both a Preschool Teacher and Nanny/Caregiver. I have worked with children of all ages and am passionate about fostering each child’s interests and development through thoughtful and loving care. I also enjoy supporting families with additional needs so am happy to help with pets, light housekeeping, organization, errands, etc. In addition, I am currently a Care Driver for HopSkipDrive (a ride-share service for school children) so am qualified and comfortable with driving your children to/from activities. I am patient, kind, respectful, reliable and fun! I consider it a privilege to be welcomed into your family and look forward to meeting you all!

Our toddler warmed up to Holly faster than I expected and was excited to play and read with her the entire time. Holly also had excellent communication about the booking and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Hi - My name is Christina, I’m 30 years old and I'm currently in school to get a degree in Public Health. Once I complete my degree, I would love to have the title, “child and maternal health advocate”! I started working in child care 10 years ago as a lead teacher in a toddler classroom at a daycare. After a few years there, I moved on to becoming a nanny. I’ve been a nanny to two amazing families since 2016. Im thankful to have held long term positions. While my work week is filled with my current position, I do enjoy babysitting on the side. Im open to one time and occasional babysitting depending on the families needs. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since was 18 years old. My responsibilities as a babysitter have included bed time routines, prepping meals, cleaning up as well as entertaining the children. Naturally, I have a calm demeanor and a nurturing personality. I believe it goes hand in hand while being a caretaker. Although I am unavailable for for a full/part time position, I am open for date nights and such! Please feel free to contact I me. I can also provide my resume. *updated Aug. 2023

We hired Christina to take care of our 3 year old daughter for the afternoon/evening. She did a wonderful job with Eliana in engaging her, taking her to play at the park, and making sure she got all the steps to her bedtime routine done--always a challenge. She quickly noticed and cleaned up when our daughter almost started painting the wall while I was showing Christina around right after she arrived. She also cleaned up after our daughter had a potty accident. Christina was very professional, arrived early, and has a very calm, patient, and thoughtful demeanor. We highly recommend her to other families, and hope to have the opportunity to hire her again.

Hello, I'm Andrea, I'm from Colombia so I Spanish, I love kids, I love spend time with them reading, drawing, dancing, bedtime, singing, outdoor adventures and all that kind of fun activities. I have experience picking up children from school , taking them to extra classes, parks, libraries, playground. My goal is that the children learn a few Spanish words (if that's okay with the parents) I have experience with 0-12 years old kids (anywhere from diaper change, bottle feeding, Spanish classes etc.) I was working for 5 years with a family starting with a baby 5 months until 5 years! They don’t need a nanny anymore but they’re willing to give references. If you have any questions, need more information or need some referrals, please let me know.

Hey everyone! I’m a mom who genuinely loves helping families however I can. I’m also a certified pediatric sleep consultant — so if your little one is struggling with sleep, feel free to ask! I also run a local Facebook group (Seattle Play Dates for ALL) that brings together parents and kids of all ages for connection and community. I’m a mom to a 4-year-old daughter who adores playing with other kiddos, and a 6-year-old autistic son who thrives with parallel play. Unless specifically requested, my little ones stay home with dad when I’m caring for your children. 😉 I’ve been babysitting or helping raise kids since I was 11 years old — having 60+ cousins meant there was always a little one who needed care! Now as a mother myself, my love for children has only grown deeper. I’m a former lifeguard (4 years) and CPR-certified. I’m playful, musical, silly when needed, and great at helping kids feel comfortable and engaged. I’m especially skilled at redirecting, calming, and supporting children who experience separation anxiety. I also have extensive experience with neurodiverse kiddos, including children with sensory processing disorder, PDA (pathological demand avoidance), OCD, ADHD, and other unique neuroprofiles. Supporting special needs toddlers is a huge soft spot of mine, and I absolutely love infants — I miss those newborn snuggles! My caregiving style is play-based, low-demand, and child-led. I believe parents know their children best, and I always respect and accommodate your parenting style and preferences (as long as they align with my own moral and safety standards). I’m a great cook, a fun companion, and I come with a full range of animated voices for bedtime stories. And no infant’s bedtime routine is complete without my famous “bébé massage” to help them drift off to sleep! I believe my pricing is fair, but I also deeply understand how hard and expensive childcare can be. If finances are a concern, please reach out — I’m always open to finding a solution that works for your family. ❤️
