I have been working with kids since I was 15 years old, in both care-taking and teaching roles. In addition to babysitting, I am open to cooking, tutoring, and pet-sitting. I have my own car and a clean driving record. Update: I am not currently accepting requests.

Updated November 2024 Hi, my name is Andi, i am a long time caregiver from being a personal caregiver for folks living with disabilities & seniors to being a mothers helper in the postpartum period. I am also a birth and postpartum doula who has attended 20 births and cared for families outside of the app as a postpartum overnight doula. Outside my caregiving work, I also petsit and housesit as well. my primary work is in the nonprofit sector and I work M-Th 9-5pm either from home or from a Cap Hill office. So available for those long term pet sits. I’m a quick learner, all about efficacy and keeping to the family routine. I really do enjoy a phone call to interview and make sure we are a match. Thank you and I look forward to connecting !
“Thanks for the help Andrea!”

Hello! Since I used at work at a daycare and have been babysitting for over 10+ years, I have seen it all! I am able to handle sick kids, kids who have mental and physical disabilities, and anything most anything else that might happen while I babysit. I love dogs and cats (I have 2)! Also, I have my tutor certification and am fluent in Amharic. Please contact me if you have any questions! I look forward to working with you!

Hello families, as my contract is coming to an end soon, I am searching for a new part-time role in the mornings. Availability: 20-30 hours weekly, between 6 AM and 12 PM. A little bit about me: - I have a reliable car. - Clean driving record. - CPR certified. - Non-smoker. - Up to date with all vaccines. - Bilingual (Portuguese and English). - Very outdoorsy. I am enthusiastic, energetic, caring, and patient. I am also very punctual and love pets. North Seattle is preferable, but I’m happy to travel further for the right fit. If you’d like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you!
“Inaye was so bright and cheery! She was great with my autistic son! I would highly recommend her for anyone and especially for kids with special needs. Thank you Inaye!”
