Find a babysitter in Mercer Island, WA

Hi families! My name is Jenn, and I’m an experienced, compassionate, and reliable caregiver with several years of experience working with children of different ages, backgrounds, and developmental needs. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Washington and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Pacific Lutheran University. My background includes working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supporting children with autism and developmental differences, teaching, and working in early childhood education and family services. These experiences have helped me develop patience, creativity, adaptability, and a strong understanding of children’s emotional, social, and behavioral development. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, understood, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I enjoy incorporating play, creativity, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate learning into my time with children. I’m currently looking for part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities that fit around my graduate school schedule. I would love the opportunity to connect with your family and provide dependable care for your little ones!

Hi! My name is Maddie, and I offer child care, pet care, senior care, and household support. I’m currently looking for occasional, one-off, or part-time work to supplement my income and support families who need a reliable extra set of hands. I grew up booked and busy as a babysitter and nanny, and caring for others has always come naturally to me. My experience includes driving to/from activities, organizing arts & crafts/fun learning experiences, tutoring/homework help, cooking meals, and keeping children engaged, safe, and happy. For 6 years I worked as a swim coach, coaching children ages 5 - 18 and introducing infants and toddlers (ages 1 - 4) to the pool. These experiences helped me develop strong skills in supervision, patience, communication, and adapting to different ages and personalities. Professionally, I’ve spent the last 10 years as an Executive Assistant to CEOs, where I honed my organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. I’m proactive, calm under pressure, and intuitive about anticipating needs - skills that translate into caregiving and household support. I’m also an animal lover through and through. I grew up with dogs, lived with a cat after college, and have no allergies. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic care, and giving pets lots of attention. Lastly, I was a caretaker for my grandmother for a short time - assisting with basic senior care including cooking, transportation to appointments, and companionship (I’m a great cribbage partner!). I’m dependable, respectful, and genuinely enjoy helping and supporting others. I was raised in a household where everyone pitched in, so I’m very comfortable with cooking, cleaning, errands, and general household help. Whether you need childcare, pet care, senior assistance, or help keeping things running smoothly, I’m happy to step in. I look forward to connecting!

Hi! My name is Isadora and I have been working with kids for about 6 years. I’ve spent the last two summers working as a summer camp instructor at Islandwood Day camps on Bainbridge Island and volunteered at a theatre camp when I was in high school. I also babysat on occasion in high school with kids varying in ages 1-12. I love working with kids, doing things like crafts, singing songs, and playing music with them. I also enjoy doing outside activities like going on walks and to local parks. I have also pet-sat for cats and dogs for coworkers and neighbors. I am looking for some extra work outside of my summer camp job. I’m CPR and first aid certified and have reliable access to a car.

I’m looking to pick up some part-time evening and weekend babysitting in the West Seattle/White Center area. A little about me: • I’m currently an addiction counselor working in the ER in social services (Mon–Fri) • Over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults (ages 9–80) • Licensed through the WA Department of Health • Experienced with kids of all ages—from helping raise my younger siblings to parenting my own teen I’m reliable, calm, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids—whether that’s playing, helping with homework, or keeping routines consistent with your parenting style. I take safety and professionalism seriously, both on and off the job. Because I work in healthcare, I’ve consistently had Adult, Child, and Infant CPR/First Aid/AED. I graduated with a bachelor’s in behavioral science (close to social work) 6/2025. Starting this fall, I’ll be attending UW for my MSW, and I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I enjoy.
