Find a babysitter in Newcastle, WA

Hi! My name is Luwam. I’m a caring and dependable caregiver with hands-on experience from raising my four children. I truly believe children learn and grow best when they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and that is the kind of environment I always strive to create. I have completed a certificate in Early Childhood Education and have a genuine passion for helping children explore, discover, and reach their full developmental potential. I am patient, responsible, and committed to supporting families by providing attentive, nurturing, and reliable care. I am also certified as a school volunteer and chaperone, which has given me additional experience supervising children during school activities, field trips, and group events. I currently work with children with special needs as an assistant, and I am always willing to learn more so I can better support every child’s unique needs.

Hi, I'm Francis! I am a passionate, career-focused educator offering over 10 years of private nanny experience alongside a decade of professional childcare center experience. I hold an AA in Early Childhood Education and a Specialized Infant and Toddler Certificate from Bellevue College. Additionally, I am fully up to date on all safety, background, and CPR certifications, including Food Handlers and Safe Sleep guidelines. My extensive career spans every age group, allowing me to tailor my care to your family's exact needs: - Infants & Toddlers: I specialize in the Magda Gerber (RIE) philosophy, prioritizing respectful, attentive care that honors a child’s natural pace, emotional expression, and independence. - Preschool & School-Age: I currently serve as a Special Education Para-educator in the Bellevue School District and have previous experience as a Lead Teacher at Bellevue College ELC. I excel at keeping kids active, helping them navigate complex emotions, and building positive habits through gentle but firm boundaries. - Active & Outdoor Fun: I love nature walks and am always excited to take older kids hiking! I thrive on keeping children engaged with the outdoors, exploring local trails, and staying active in a fun, safe environment. - Bonus for Pet Owners: I am an animal lover! I have my own dog, Miko, and am always happy to provide pet sitting or love to your furry family members alongside your children. I love what I do, and I look forward to supporting your family during evenings, weekends, and school breaks!

Hi!! I’m Jennifer but go by Jenny. I just finished my senior year at Bellevue High. I grew up taking care of my cousins of all ages, so I have acquired a great deal of patience. Recently I have volunteered at our local boys and girls club in their preschool (daycare) and loved every second of it! I enjoy creative activities such as arts and crafts. I’ve been told to have great charisma and to have an admirable presence :) I have been driving for a little over a year now with a clean record! In my free time, I love writing music or playing the piano, as well as spending time outdoors!

I work for the School District so child safety is very important to me. I have a strong foundation for understanding child development across all age groups, from infant, toddlers to teenagers and years of experience with special needs. I am First Aid and CPR Trained. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and happy to help with feeding, laundry and light housekeeping. I am patient, calm, friendly, and always follow parents' lead when enforcing rules. I provide regular updates via text or phone call, according to your preference. I look forward to bringing my experience and passion to your family.

I am currently a director at an early learning center. I have worked directly with infants, toddlers, preschool and school age children. I love working with children but my specialty is 3 and older. I am creative and organized. Compassion and love are the two main qualities I bring to care!
