Hi!- My name is Hayaat I’m currently a student at University of Washington. I love taking care of children and have babysat many, including babies and toddlers, since I was 14. I have 4+ years of experience with responsibilities that have included in home things like meal prep, feeding children, changing diapers, playing games, and spending time with them. I’m familiar with bedtime and nap routines and can easily adjust to different ones. I also volunteer as a running and reading coach for elementary school students during after school programs. I’ve built a bond with all of my students through my patience, kindness and understanding of different behaviors and personalities. I’m an honest, people-oriented, and responsible person who loves meeting new people! I’m comfortable around all pets as well.
“Very sweet, reliable, and punctual. My daughter had fun playing with her. I would recommend Hayaat to anyone. ”

Hello, parents!! My name is Marcela — or as the little ones call me, Cela :) I studied psychology in Brazil and spent five years immersed in childcare there before moving to the US, and for almost three years now I've had the joy of caring for two wonderful local families, watching their babies grow from tiny newborns into happy, curious toddlers. I love imaginative play, art and crafts and exploring the world w/ the little ones - parks, libraries, story times. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely present. I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, comfortable driving and happy to share references from the families I currently work with. I'd love the chance to meet you and your kiddo! 💛
Hello there! I am Milena, i studied at Bellevue christian school before moving to online and am on a gap year before heading to college! I worked at mercer island elementary as a Teachers assistant where i truly found my love for children. Growing up i was always babysitting and always knew i wanted kids of my own. I enjoy readying, going to the park, and playing with all my nanny kids favorite toys. I would describe myself as loving, communicative, and reliable.
I would describe myself as having a calm and observant disposition. A clever sense of humor with a big imagination. Definitely a utilitarian thinker and likes to explore outside the box with art and play. I’ve always connected well with kids of all ages. It’s natural for me to communicate, play and be imaginative with them at their level while remaining in the present. Retired now but before I was a dedicated professional with over 15 years experience in providing comprehensive services to general/ special needs children of various ages mostly one to one. I also have a background in behavioral management and curriculum development. Eight years experience in pet/house sitting around the world. Six years of Camp Counselor and instructor in wilderness survival and camping with youth. In addition, I have 4 years of experience in Sailing Charters as a 1st Mate and 3 years experience in Landscaping/ general yard maintenance. Those are the large parts amongst many other hats I’ve worn throughout my years. I hold a MA in Special Needs Education specifically with the deaf and/or blind and a BA in Elementary Education K-6. The core of my person is organized/cleanliness, detailed oriented, mindful, loyal, honest, straight forward, and have integrity in anything I commit to, be it work or personal. I practice awareness in many areas and believe without this one cannot grow or learn how to improve themselves in communication and their person. Currently, I’m looking for part-time work for now that provides an environment that is stimulating to the mind and involves movement vs stationary. A multi tasking position with limited to no major self created chaos. Background information: I’ve been background checked and fingerprinted multiple times for educational purposes and licensing. I do not have any criminal background. I am NW born and grew up in Portland and Seattle area. At the moment I reside in Everett and have a vehicle. Thank you for your time in reading my profile and look forward to finding a good match. Best regards, Jenevieve
