Booked by 18 families in Kirkland, WA

Hi! My name is Morgan, and I have over 3 years of experience working with children ranging from 6 weeks old to middle school age. I truly love working with kids and watching them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, nurturing environment. I currently work in ABA as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I support children’s social, emotional, and behavioral development using evidence-based strategies. I am also in college working toward my bachelor’s degree in Special Education and my associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Throughout my childcare experience, I have created lesson plans, maintained clean and organized spaces, and built positive, trusting relationships with children and families. I bring patience, creativity, and reliability to every job. I would love the opportunity to care for your child(ren)! Please feel free to message me with any questions. Thank you, Morgan

Booked by 12 families in Kirkland, WA

Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m 29 with about 15 years of childcare experience spanning all ages. I’m a recent transplant to Seattle - originally from Chicago, but spent the last three years living on the Big Island of Hawaii. I usually work full time in marketing, but right now am on the hunt for my next role - which opens up my daytime availability for childcare! I’ve worked with countless families, from nannying for vacationing families in Hawaii to spending 5 years with a Chicago family as their several times a week babysitter. I love to read, travel, and hike - please let me know if you’d like to chat further!

Easy going, playful and engaged effortlessly with my 6/4 year olds. Highly recommend.

Booked by 13 families in Kirkland, 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 12 families in Kirkland, WA

Hello, I’m Selene! Ive worked in an elementary and middle school as a para-educator. I thoroughly enjoy working and spending time with kiddos of all ages! I’ve had experience watching my newborn nephews, as well as watching my little cousins and family friends. So I’m familiar with all ages ranging from newborns, toddlers, and tweens and always look forward to join them in their adventures! Let me help make your life easier and worry about your kids while you enjoy a stress free much needed break 🤞🏻 I’m more familiar watching cats than dogs but am willing to do either :)

We had a sitter cancel on us very last minute and Selene came to the rescue! She was wonderful with our 3 small kids (8, 5 and 3). Cant wait to have her babysit again!
