Lorna $27 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Lorna, I’m 27 years old and I have a lot experience working with kids. I have been working with children since I was 15 years old. I started by caring for my neighbors’ and family friends’ kids, and my passion for childcare has grown ever since. After finishing high school and starting university, where I studied to become a kindergarten teacher. I worked in two daycares, where I gained experience with children of different ages and developmental stages. I also worked as a prefect in a high school for two years and as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher for another two years in two different kindergartens, helping students improve their communication skills and confidence. Most recently, I worked as a nanny in the United States for almost two years, providing full-time care and support for children while assisting with daily routines, activities, and household tasks. I love creating a positive, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel safe.
Barbara $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm Babi, 23, from Brazil/Italy. I've been an au pair twice in Europe, first in Poland and then in Spain, and now I'm moving to Seattle. Caring for kids is something I truly love, and I want to keep doing it. In Poland and Spain I took care of 4, 7, 10 and 12, and each family had a different routine. I learned to adapt quickly, and keep the kids safe and happy. I like having a routine, but I also like to go with the flow and let the kids choose what to play sometimes. My favorite activities are arts and crafts, games, story time, and outdoor play. I love being outside with kids, rain or shine! I'm also comfortable driving kids to activities. I fluent in Italian and Portuguese, and I also speak English and Spanish. I'd love to share a few words in other languages with your kids in a fun and natural way. A little more about me: I'm responsible, punctual, and patient, and I believe open communication avoids misunderstandings. I'd love to meet your family and make your days a little easier!

Hi! I'm Tracy, a recent graduate and current school health specialist who loves working with families. I grew up helping at my aunt’s childcare center and have been babysitting for 6 years with hands-on experience with children of all ages. I'm CPR certified and have a degree in Health Sciences, so safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I'm a big fan of keeping kids engaged through active play, creative projects, and learning. I can keep them entertained all day! I am also very comfortable taking care of friendly animals of all sizes and breeds. To help your evening or weekend run smoother, I'm happy to help out with household tasks like dishes, light cleanup, laundry, and trash. I look forward to supporting your family!
“My kids loved spending time with Tracy! She was always punctual, easy to communicate with, and kind to my whole family. Her patience, attentiveness, and fun attitude with the kids were clear. She was always prepared with fun activities for the kids and is a fantastic cook. She has worked at multiple schools and has a college degree. I just wish she would move back to Denver, my kids miss her!”
