Find a babysitter in Kirkland, WA

I am a caregiver by nature. Beyond being a parent, I have also provided afterschool care and I teach at a preschool part time. I love engaging kids in playful activities and going on adventures. I love crafts and games. I host kids in my outdoor play area as well. I hope to serve as many people as I can. I think it is imperative that kids get a chance to play with others in order to learn crucial skills for their future. I would like the opportunity to share time exploring and creating fun memories while learning new skills with your child. I am a fan of the Reggio Emilia approach to learning and will follow the child's interests. Feel free to contact me with any questions- Tamara

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.

Hi! My name is Shamsa, and I am a childcare professional with over four years of experience working with infants and young children in licensed childcare settings, Bright Horizons. I bring a strong foundation in child development, structured routines, and creating calm, engaging environments where children feel safe and supported. I transitioned into nannying to provide individualized, development-focused care. I take an intentional approach by observing each child's needs, thoughtfully adjusting their environment, and creating meaningful, play-based experiences that support growth, independence, and confidence. I have experience in inclusive settings, including supporting children on the autism spectrum. I provide consistent, detailed updates so families feel informed, reassured, and connected throughout the day. I am CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and available am fully vaccinated.

Hiya! My name's Brett. I'm a childcare worker and teacher with seven years of professional experience with children aged 4-12. I currently work as a tutor at two elementary schools here in Seattle. I've previously worked as a behavioral interventionist, student mentor, and summer camp counselor. My life's passion is bringing happiness to children, encouraging their learning and creativity, and just having fun! My childcare approach is based on empathy, responsibility, and compassion. When children are treated with respect and held accountable for their actions, it teaches them to be responsible, independent, and have a strong sense of self-worth. Outside of childcare, I love writing (fiction and poetry), drawing, reading, video games, and spending time in the outdoors. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and trained in various health and safety procedures. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

Hi! I have a lot of experience with children, as I have many young children in my family that I have been looking after since my teenage years. I am therefore used to caring for children of all ages, from 0 to 16 years old. I have also been babysitting for several years, including taking care of infants. I am currently an au pair in Seattle, where I take care of two children aged 2 and 4 on a daily basis. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person, and safety is always my top priority when looking after children. Families can feel confident that their children will be well cared for in a safe, attentive, and positive environment. I really enjoy spending time with children and organizing a variety of age-appropriate activities, such as painting, drawing, creative games, and outdoor play whenever possible. I always make sure children feel comfortable, engaged, and happy. Regarding animals, I grew up around dogs (Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepherds), so I am very comfortable with them. Dogs are a true passion of mine. I also love cats and many other animals. Finally, if families wish, they are more than welcome to contact my current host family in Seattle for additional reassurance and references.
