Bothell
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kenmore, WA

I am a 34 year old full time stay at home mom to a 15 month old little girl! She is quite active and loves to play with other kids. If you need sitting during M-F during the day then she will need to come with me! Open to sitting in your home or mine! During the evenings or on weekends, she will NOT be with me! I am currently a nanny twice weekly to a 2 year old little girl! Previously I have worked as a behavior specialist to special needs children for 4 years and worked as a substitute teacher. I have been babysitting for 20+ years and worked as a nanny for 3 months full time as well to two children aged 4 and an infant during that time. I am fully CPR certified. I am raising my daughter bilingual (English and Spanish) and happy to encourage this teaching as well if you like. I focus on hands on learning and playing. Singing, dancing, interactive toys like puzzles and blocks, writing skills, and more. Open to helping with whatever you need whether that is getting them ready for the day, running errands, light household chores, diaper changing and potty training, meal prepping, etc! I am also very comfortable with all types of pets and have a dog myself. I have a degree in neuroscience/human sciences.

Kye was excellent with my 6 mo anxiety ridden sweet baby. She came to give me a reprieve and let me get some tasks done. She was so gentle with him singing songs and interacting to calm him. Great communicator and on time. I am so impressed I immediately recommended her to my sister and another friend with a similarly aged baby. I feel confident in her and would recommend her to you, too.

Hi! My name is Melinda and I have been babysitting for more than a year and a half. I am entering my freshman year at UW Bothell and I offer childcare.

I am also CPR certified from the training I went through to work at the summer camp. I communicate well and make sure that the kids are safe. I have my license as well and can help with watching kids after practices or extra curriculars. Please feel free to reach out if a babysitter is needed!

Hello! My name is Maryam and I have been working with kids for the last 7 years. Childcare is something that I care so much about and put my whole heart into. My previous jobs have been an Education Director at the Boys and Girls Club, a youth development professional for before and after school care, an educator, a tutor, and a swim instructor. I'm also certified in First Aid and CPR, fully vaccinated, and passionate about making sure that all of the kids I work with are cared for and happy :) As the middle child of six siblings, l've grown up knowing how important family is, and my natural warmth and responsibility shine through in everything I do. I'm currently pursuing my college education, mostly online, which helps me have a more flexible schedule. So! If you're looking for a babysitter who's fun, friendly, empathetic, dependable, and experienced, then l'd love to meet you and your kiddos!
