Booked by 4 families in Kirkland, WA

I am a current assistant teacher in a private school equipped with K-12 Chinese teaching license and master education degree. I used to be a homestay to take care of my 2 boys so very familiar with cleaning caring cooking stuff. I was not well supported when my kids were young, just hoping that people could use my help to feel better in these busy days.

Gabby is very caring and has a wonderful dynamic with my son. She’s also generous in sharing her experience as a K–12 teacher. My son had a happy time with her.

Booked by 2 families in Kirkland, WA

Available evenings, overnights, and last-minute requests, every day after 5:00 PM Hi there! I'm a Seattle-based college student in my final year, living in Bellevue looking for evening and overnight babysitting opportunities. Experience: - 9+ years of childcare experience, starting with my niece at age 1 (she's 10 now!) - Long-term care for two brothers, watched since they were 2 and 4 (now 5 and 7) - Cared for two professors' families, with kids ages 2-4, including managing two children at once - Comfortable with kids ages 1 and above individually or in groups Pet-Friendly: Grew up with two dogs and I'm comfortable around dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and parrots - your furry (or scaly!) family members are in good hands too. Beyond Childcare: I'm happy to help with light housework while I'm there - things like tidying up toys and play areas, washing bottles or dishes, folding laundry, or wiping down kitchen surfaces. I like leaving things a little tidier than I found them so you come home to one less thing on your plate. :) What I Offer - Reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids - Homework help, bedtime routines, and keeping things fun and calm - Comfortable pitching in with light chores when needed - Flexible for last-minute and overnight requests Feel free to reach out anytime to chat more or set up a meet-and-greet! :)

Gergana was great with our 19 month old son. He had a great time with her and Gergana was punctual and accommodating. We will definitely be using her services again and recommend her to other families looking for help.

Booked by 2 families in Kirkland, WA

Hi there, my name is Nishadi! I am a true and native SoCal girl who found the beautiful PNW about 9 years ago. I love catching sunsets, hiking, and a good puzzle when it’s raining. I am currently pursuing a degree in Interior Design and planning my wedding for October 2026! My goal is to make the parents’ lives happier and easier as I care for their children by keeping them safe and entertained. I’ve been a nanny ever since moving here and have loved all of the families I’ve cared for and are still with them. I value a good fit with a family and being a part of the family as I get to know you. Looking forward to a fun opportunity with your children!

She’s very neat, organized, on time, caring, affectionate, sweet and punctual. She arrived on time. Understood all the instructions. Came exactly on time even though it was last minute. Left the house an baby extremely clean. My daughter was really happy as well. Very impressed and will be hiring her again!!

Frances $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Frances and I am a creative and fun-loving person who has a lot of experience working with children of all ages in various capacities. I started my childcare journey by helping to raise my little sister who is ten years younger than me and I've continued to grow as a childcare professional through adulthood. I've worked as a camp counselor at the Woodland Park Zoo where I was responsible for many children at once, I've volunteered as a creative writing teacher at an elementary school, and one of my greatest accomplishments is becoming a Certified Behavior Technician and working six months implementing and running treatment plans and therapeutic intervention designed by ABA therapists for children with autism of various ages (ages three to sixteen). I cook and clean, I'm CPR/First Aid certified, I love pets, and I have a safe car and a clean driving record. I am a molecular biology student at UW and I currently work part time as a Phlebotomist with the hopes of attending medical school in the future. I'd love to chat more about your needs and how I can best support your family!
