Find a babysitter in Mercer Island, WA

Hi! My name is Shamsa, and I am a childcare professional with over four years of experience working with infants and young children in licensed childcare settings, Bright Horizons. I bring a strong foundation in child development, structured routines, and creating calm, engaging environments where children feel safe and supported. I transitioned into nannying to provide individualized, development-focused care. I take an intentional approach by observing each child's needs, thoughtfully adjusting their environment, and creating meaningful, play-based experiences that support growth, independence, and confidence. I have experience in inclusive settings, including supporting children on the autism spectrum. I provide consistent, detailed updates so families feel informed, reassured, and connected throughout the day. I am CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and available am fully vaccinated. (Dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care families can depend on.)

Hi all! My name is Margaret (she/her) and I am, by day, a private practice somatic therapist. I received a BS in Psychology and Family Science and minor in Women's Studies. I received my masters in Social Work from UW. I love working with adults & being in the body, but deeply miss the childcare that I was doing before my career. I have around ~15 years of babysitting experience with kids ranged from 9 months - 14 years old. I love the energy kids have and so appreciate their awe and excitement about the world. I value encouragement, curiosity, creativity, communication, autonomy, and mindfulness in my interactions with kids! I strive to be a thoughtful and caring companion and role model, not a detached authoritative figure. I value boundaries and helping kids learn how to hear and say no, along with trusting their own boundaries and choices. Ultimately, I enjoy being in the fluidity of being with kids - I love making art, singing, dancing, being silly with kids; doing the mundane things such as helping structure chores; engaging in emotionally challenging situations and helping build self-assuredness in feeling through emotions. I highly value relational building with kids and their families and appreciate transparent communication, collaboration, trust, accountability, and overall co-creating safety for your child/ren. I would love to chat more with you and your family to see if this would be a good fit for you all.

✨ Hello, nice to meet you ✨ My name is Mabel and I have over 6 years of experience working with children from 2 months to 14 years old. During this time, I’ve had the joy of supporting their growth, guiding their development, and creating a safe and loving environment for them. I consider myself a responsible, kind, and patient person who always strives to ensure children feel cared for, happy, and encouraged at every stage of their lives. I enjoy planning creative, educational, and fun activities that nurture learning while also giving parents peace of mind. For me, being a nanny is not just a job – it’s a true commitment to each family and to the well-being of their little ones. 💛
