Hello! My name is Asmaa, and I’m currently a student at the University of Washington. I’m a dedicated and energetic caregiver with over seven years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have experience babysitting and have worked in youth summer camps for four years. I also spent the past four years as a skateboarding coach, teaching and mentoring kids in a fun, safe, and engaging environment. I'm CPR certified, and safety is always my top priority—whether we're indoors doing crafts or outside enjoying the fresh air. I have experience cooking, doing light household chores, and helping with homework for elementary and some middle school kids. I love being outdoors, staying active, and helping kids grow through movement, play, and meaningful connection. I am able to create a safe, fun, and focused environment for children of all ages. Families often describe me as patient, reliable, and great at building trust with both kids and parents. If you’re looking for someone warm, experienced, and dependable, I’d love to support your family!
Hi families! My name is Remi, and I am an enthusiastic childcare professional with over five years of experience. I am currently a student at the University of Washington and work as both a substitute teacher and nanny. I began my journey in childcare at a center where I worked with all age groups, from infants to school-age children. I later became a lead teacher of a toddler classroom and transitioned to leading a preschool classroom at another center. I hold an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education as well as the following certifications: Certificate in State Early Childhood Education and Certificate of Specialization in State Short Early Childhood Education - General. Other relevant certifications include First Aid, Pediatric and Adult CPR US, and Food Handler Permit. I am deeply passionate about fostering diversity and creating inclusive, mindful environments for children. I strive to promote culturally sensitive practices and take the time to learn about the families I work with to better meet their needs. Working with children has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love being part of their growth and development, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!
“I highly recommend Remi! She has been an incredible support to our family, especially during the early days when my baby was a newborn. Whether it was during the day or late at night, Remi was always there, providing the care and help I needed. Her experience and confidence in handling babies are truly remarkable. She knows exactly how to calm, comfort, and care for little ones, even in the most challenging moments. Her calm demeanor and nurturing personality made a world of difference for me as a new parent. Remi is dependable, attentive, and always follows instructions carefully. She also offered helpful advice based on her experience, which was reassuring. Knowing that my baby was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to rest and focus when I needed to. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and experienced, Remi is the perfect choice. I would not hesitate to hire her again—she’s truly exceptional!”
I am a child care worker of many years and have extensive experience with ages birth to 11. Mostly I’m a preschool teacher but for a number of years I nannied after hours in exchange for partial rent for three different families. When my child was younger I nannied for an additional three families. I love working with young children, making up silly games with them and doing art experiences with them, and helping them feel competent in their every day tasks! Now my child is in high school and I am free to do some Friday/Saturday babysitting.
“Rebecca was very friendly, punctual, and a great human being to hang out with. She helped me organize a lot of my belongings that got shipped to me and break down boxes. I really appreciated her help to get my apartment in order! Thanks Rebecca :)”
With a solid foundation in caregiving, I am a third-year nursing student at Seattle University with plans to specialize in pediatrics due to my passion for working with children. I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience through babysitting kids from 5 months to 12 years old, completing a geriatric clinical, and volunteering at animal shelters. My time in Girl Scouts honed my leadership and caregiving skills, while my love for animals shows through caring for pets like cats, snakes, and even chickens. My rescue dog Mango, who I’ve had since childhood, reflects my lifelong commitment to care and compassion. Additionally, I have a passion for cooking, particularly baking, which I love to share with the families I work with, creating fun and delicious treats.
Hi! My name is Anders, and I’m a passionate, reliable caregiver with a background in child development and creative enrichment. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Washington, where I focused my studies on child development. I have been a full-time nanny and currently help run an arts-based after-school program in North Seattle that supports kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as those navigating complex home situations. In addition to that work, I volunteer each summer as a camp counselor at Camp Erin, a bereavement camp for children and teens. Through these experiences, I’ve gained deep insight into supporting kids and teens as they process big emotions with compassion and care. I'm especially committed to creating inclusive, affirming environments for children of all identities and abilities. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny and have been babysitting for families for the past 15 years. I love incorporating engaging arts and crafts projects, Cooking projects, and imaginative play into my time with kids—activities that spark creativity and confidence. I bring warmth, patience, and a calm presence to every home I work in, and I always strive to meet kids where they are with kindness and respect. I look forward to connecting with a family that values a thoughtful, nurturing caregiver who encourages kids to explore, express, and get imaginative!
