Booked by 13 families in Kingston, WA

Hey guys! My name is Laura, I'm 28 years old, I have a law degree from Brazil and I currently provide child and pet care in Seattle. In my home country, I worked with children aged 0 to 14 (several at the same time!) in a playground, as a monitor, and I also provided care for my younger sister for several years (she is currently 9 years old!) . In Seattle, I have extensive experience caring for infants (including twins!) and toddlers. In addition to changing diapers, offering bottles and healthy foods and lots of affection and love, I also have experience with food introduction, games for milestone development and simple sign languages ​​for infant communication. I also love listening to music, entertaining and exercising the imagination of children of all ages! I am also available to clean areas related to children and I have good experience with this. Finally, I have lived with pets my entire life and can act as a sitter for them with all the affection and happiness that your pet deserves.

“Laura was wonderful with our 3 year old. He was having a very hard time with us leaving and she was calm, sweet, and handled it so well. She texted us soon after we left, letting us know that everything was going well. She was also on time and very communicative. We would love to work with her again soon!”

Booked by 1 family in Kingston, WA

Hello everyone! My name is Sarra, and I live in Greenwood, Seattle. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Public Health Global Health from the University of Washington (Go Huskies!). I’ve been working as a full-time community navigator. A significant part of my job involves interacting with families and kids to create fun activities and events. I am wanting to work as a babysitter a few times a week with families who need help after school, weekends or date night! I’m musically inclined and believe that music has the power to heal any wound. I’ve always loved children and was the most trusted family member to watch over my little cousins. I have experience working with toddlers, young children, and teenagers aged 3 to 17. I’ve also worked with children on the spectrum. In my experience, I engage children in activities they enjoy the most and provide them with ideas to explore. I go out of my way to find the best activities to keep them occupied, such as learning a new language (I’m multilingual and speak French and Arabic), writing, drawing, or painting. The activities can vary depending on the child’s interests and passions. Some children love reading sessions, while others prefer singing, coloring, and drawing with music on, or simply playing board games like puzzles and interactive Lego construction games! Exploring the outdoors is also a fun activity to do if interested! I can help with homework and tutoring in various subjects, including English, Math, STEM subjects, and many others. I’m also a great cook and make all sorts of sandwiches, meals, and quick snacks that your children will love! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I’d be more than happy to answer them for you.

Hi! 😊 My name is Sandra and I am currently working as an au pair in Edmonds (Seattle). I am looking for babysitting/nanny opportunities in my free time to earn some extra income.

I truly enjoy spending time with kids, helping them learn, play, and feel safe. A bit about me: • Responsible, caring and patient • Experience with infants and primary school children • Fluent in Spanish and English • Comfortable with routines, homework help, and creative activities • Flexible schedule (evenings and weekends) I would love to support a family that needs occasional babysitting or a regular nanny. References available upon request. Feel free to message me if you think I could be a good fit for your family!

“She is always sweet and always does her best with 3 wild children including an infant. She has came through last minute many times and has stayed later with no complaints. I highly recommend!”

kaje $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Kaje (Pronounced Cage), a warm, grounded, and dependable caregiver with naturally sunny disposition and nearly 50 years of hands-on experience. I truly believe that children teach us how to play, animals teach us how to love, and our elders teach us how to live. ​Childcare & Family Support: As a parent and proud grandparent to two wonderful kids (ages 4 and 5), I bring decades of real-world experience in creating safe, engaging, and joyful environments. My caregiving journey started early with neighborhood babysitting, and today I love being an active, steady presence for the playful and wise ones in my life. Whether reading stories, assisting with daily routines, facilitating creative play, or helping with after-school pickups, I meet children with patience, warmth, and genuine care. ​Senior & Elder Care: I hold our older generations in the highest regard. Seniors possess an incredible wealth of wisdom, life experience, and relevance that deserves deep respect and reverence. I cared for my grandmother while she was in elder care, and I had the profound privilege of providing full late-stage and end-of-life care for my mother. This included managing complex medication routines (including pain management under medical guidance), maintaining personal comfort and dignity, and offering steady emotional presence. I bring that same gentleness, honor, and attentive care to every senior I support. ​Pet Care & Sentient Companions: Animals are extraordinary, intelligent sentient beings, and I adore caring for them. I am a lifelong dog owner—previously loving an abused Pitbull, and currently sharing my home with our chiweener . I provide attentive pet sitting, walking, feeding, and genuine companionship for your furry family members. ​Communication, Emotional Balance & Household Support: With 20 years as a certified life coach, I bring strong emotional grounding and clear communication to every role. I excel at staying calm and centered—helping young children navigate big emotions while offering parents transparent, reliable updates. In addition to caregiving, I am happy to assist with household errands, grocery runs, and light organization to keep your home running smoothly. ​Whether your family needs trusted childcare, compassionate senior companionship, pet care, or dependable errand support, I look forward to bringing warmth and stability to your home.
