Hello families! My name is Emma! I am a warm, creative, and reliable caregiver. I am currently a graduate student at UW studying school psychology and would love to do some occasional or part time babysitting for your family. I have several years of experience working in schools with school-aged children. I also have lots of experience working with kids with disabilities. I enjoy baking and cooking, spending lots of time outside, and crafting! I love to engage kids in fun activities and lean into their unique interests. Please reach out if you’d like more information about my background. I’d love to get to know your family! Thank you.
“Emma was so wonderful with our 2 year old! We would love to have her back again!”
Hello! My name is Niyat I am currently a sophomore at UW. I am offering childcare services. I am able to drive, cook, clean and tutor. I love to work with kids and do fun activities such as playing games or painting. I have watched over my younger cousins most of my life and am comfortable taking care of toddlers and older.
Hiiiii! My name is Bruna, and I am a dedicated, responsible, and compassionate childcare provider with extensive experience caring for children of different ages, abilities, and needs. I am truly passionate about supporting children’s development and creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where they can thrive. I worked for two years at a school with children ages 6 to 14, supporting them primarily with reading, literature, and educational activities. In addition, I have hands-on experience with younger children, including caring for one-year-old twin babies for five months, where I was responsible for feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, and daily care. I also have strong experience working with children with special needs. I cared for a girl with cerebral palsy for one year, providing attentive, individualized, and compassionate support. I have also cared for a 6-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, including overnight care, ensuring their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Currently, I work with a non-verbal child with level 3 autism, which has strengthened my skills in patience, routine-based care, alternative communication, and emotional regulation. I am highly adaptable and comfortable tailoring my care to each child’s unique needs while maintaining clear communication and trust with families. I take my role very seriously and always strive to provide high-quality care in a loving, calm, and supportive environment. Building strong relationships with both children and parents is a priority for me, and I am fully committed to being a reliable and positive presence in each child’s life. plussss: I love animals 🐶🐱🐹🐷
