$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, WA

Hello, my name is Chloe! I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and recently moved to Seattle after earning my bachelor's degree in Child Development and Family Sciences and a post-baccalaureate in Communication Disorders and Sciences. I am currently pursuing a career in speech-language pathology because I am passionate about supporting children's growth, development, and communication. Working with children has always been the most rewarding part of my life. I currently work with toddlers at a Montessori daycare and have experience working in preschool and K-5 classrooms, including student teaching. I'm patient, dependable, and love incorporating art, imaginative play, and hands-on activities into my work.

Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, WA

A little about me: I've been in Seattle for 3 years, I have a bachelor and masters degree and have worked for many prestigious companies including Disney, Paramount, and Expedia and a variety of lovely nonprofits. I have 20 years of childcare experience, starting with my three younger siblings (spanning 2-18 years younger than me) and babysitting for my mom's nurse friends all through high school and college. Even though I've been in the corporate world for the past decade, I've always made time to help out with my friends' kids. Throughout 2025, I have nannied for a variety of families from 6 weeks to 8 years old. I'm 34, married, CPR and first aid certified (renewed this year), have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and am a non-smoker. I'm also super comfortable with pets of any kind. Aside from nannying, i own a successful wedding and event planning business focused on sustainable and inclusive events.

Nicole has been super great with our 5.5 month old baby. She is calm, collected and has been easy to work with.

Maryam $28 per hour for 1 child

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!

Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, WA

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 also work at a summer camp during the summer in my local neighborhood. I work well with kids and know how to lead games and how to entertain them. 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!
