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

Hi! I'm Sara, a mom with over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to 18-year-olds. I offer babysitting, errand-running, and house-sitting services, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids. In my free time, I love working out, swimming, reading my Bible, and going for walks. I also have more than 10 years of experience in healthcare and have received CPR training multiple times. Caring for children has always been a passion of mine, as I find joy in nurturing their curiosity and watching them grow. My experience ranges from babysitting for family and friends to volunteering in community programs, where I learned the importance of patience and creativity in engaging young minds. As a parent myself, I have a deeper appreciation for the challenges and rewards of raising a child. This personal journey has only strengthened my commitment to providing a supportive and loving environment for all children in my care, fostering their development and helping them flourish.

Quyen $18 per hour for 1 child

I adore children and have two boys myself which I feel is enough for me. I enjoy playing with them especially under 5 when they are cute and fun. But at the end at the day, I would prefer to return to their parents. I can be gentle yet firm for children that like to test boundaries- it allows me to be creative, playful and enjoy seeing their little wheels spinning when I interact with them. In addition, I like pets, but my household have allergy to pet dander so this is one way I can get my baby/ pet fix without having to raise them.

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lynnwood, WA

Hi families! I’m a compassionate and dedicated child care provider with over 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through 5th grade. Whether it’s tummy time, potty training, toddler playdates, or homework help—I’ve done it all! I believe in hands-on, play-based learning that fosters creativity, independence, and big belly laughs. I practice positive discipline, which means I believe in using kindness and mutual respect to create a safe space for kids to be themselves, while also firmly and consistently reinforcing boundaries for safe, inclusive fun! - Certified in Infant/Child/Adult CPR & First Aid
- 100+ hours of formal child care training (MERIT Certified)
- Clean driving record and full coverage insurance

My girls immediately took to Tiffany. There was no hesitation or shyness. Her background as a teacher shone through when she got them into arts and crafts right away. I came home to some beautiful artwork and two tired and happy kiddos! Tiffany is personable, respectful and kind. I will 100% be hiring her again.
