Hello! My name is Rumana, and I'm a recent graduate from UW Seattle. I’m currently studying for the MCAT and babysitting on the side, so my schedule is pretty flexible between the two! I am located in Seattle and can conveniently get to anywhere close by, such as Capitol Hill, but also have a car and can travel farther (as far as Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, etc.) if needed. I love kids and hope to become a pediatrician one day! To me, working with children is incredibly fun and exciting—I love to engage their curiosity and sense of play as a babysitter and help them learn how to be respectful and kind as peers at the same time. I have experience working with kids of all ages, particularly between infants to around 11 years old. When babysitting, I typically help kids read books, play lots of games, as well as do arts and crafts if available in order to stimulate their imagination and creativity. I am happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, and any other responsibilities you might need me to do. I babysat all throughout undergrad, amounting to 4 years of experience doing paid babysitting, and spent an initial 2 years working for a family with three talkative and active kids aged 1, 3, and 5. Afterwards, I began babysitting for many different families independently for an additional 2 years, and am super adaptable to a variety of kids! In terms of availability, I am typically available in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, but again, I can be flexible if needed! Parenting is hard; the most fulfilling aspect of babysitting to me is helping your family maintain balance within your lives amidst busy schedules, and I sincerely hope to use my experience working with kids in my future career!

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.

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! :)

Gigi was great with my kids, they had a lot of fun playing with her, and she was proactive about communication.
