Booked by 1 family in Newcastle, WA

Hello there! My name is Clare - I’m a female identifying 26 year old currently living in Capitol Hill. After recently returning from working at the local clinic on San Juan Island this winter, and teaching English to elementary students in Spain last fall, I’m looking forward to spending this next chapter at Seattle University obtaining my Nurse Practitioner Doctorate! With a professional history of 3 years at Seattle Children’s Hospital working as a nursing assistant, supporting a Montessori preschool in north Seattle after graduating from UW in 2022, and extensive childcare experience throughout high school, I’m excited to be able to support another wonderful family. I am CPR certified for infants, children and adults, have experience working on a small organic farm with goats and chickens, and am fully licensed to drive with a personal vehicle as well as a current Washington State CNA license for more extensive care needs. I’m so happy to provide more information about myself and my background as desired, and I so look forward to sharing and connecting!

Sofia $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I'm from Seattle, Washington. I have a passion for working with children, and have 8+ years of experience in babysitting/childcare positions. I am currently a 4th year international business student at Northeastern University. Since moving to Boston for school, I am looking forward to continue working with children and families! In my hometown of Seattle, I worked as a volunteer (later promoted to paid) reading coach for 2nd and 3rd-grade students at Team Read for 3 semesters. Additionally, I volunteered as a camp counselor at Girls Rock Math for two summers, leading 1st through 8th-grade girls in educational and social camp activities. Furthermore, I have regularly babysat and nannied for numerous families in the Seattle area, including families with as many as 4 children, ages 0-16. I would be more than happy to provide references upon request! Having grown up with a younger sister, I have been around children my entire life. To every family I work with, I bring my creativity, imagination, bubbly personality, and organizational skills. I look forward to hearing from you!

Angela $22 per hour for 1 child

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. If you or someone you know is looking for occasional or regular childcare, feel free to message me!
