As a mom myself, I know first hand how difficult (and overwhelming at times) it was to find a trusting babysitter or nanny for my boys when they were younger. The way I see it, there is no greater job than being a parent. And when you have to make it to your job and can't be "there" for your children, you want to make sure they are in the right hands. That's where I come in, to offer you the peace of mind that your child will be safe, well cared for, nurtured and encouraged to thrive. I have a long experience with child care, from newborn to school age teenagers. I have a Bachelors in Education Sciences, with emphasis in Child Development. I am current on CPR, AED and First Aid training, and I am certified in Defensive Driving. I am also a Washington state Certified Specialized Para-Educator working with my school district in the mornings during the school year. If you're reading this message it’s because you're in need of someone you can trust your child with. So, send me a message and I will respond promptly.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ilda! She was always punctual—often arriving a little early each day, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment she met our baby, it was clear she had a natural gift with children. Our little one instantly connected with her and was so happy and comfortable in her care. What really stood out was not only her warmth and patience, but also her depth of experience. She shared thoughtful insights about our baby’s development and what to expect in the coming months, which was incredibly helpful for us as new parents. It felt like she wasn’t just providing care, but also partnering with us in understanding our child’s growth. We feel so lucky to have found Ilda and would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, insightful, and experienced caregiver.

Lena $30 per hour for 1 child

Caring for children has been my passion for over 10 years. I started babysitting at 13, volunteered with children at church throughout high school, and have built my career around professional childcare ever since. From 2[removed], I worked as a live-in au pair in the United States, caring for children full-time. After returning to Germany, I continued working as a full-time nanny for three children while attending university. I later returned to the U.S. as a live-in nanny and now work as a professional nanny. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and with families of many different sizes. Beyond childcare, I've managed daily routines, prepared meals, driven children to activities, helped with homework, taught early reading skills, supported potty training, organized household tasks, and served as a household manager and family assistant. My childcare philosophy is built on patience, consistency, and respect. I believe children deserve to be listened to and spoken to with kindness. I set clear expectations while taking the time to explain things in a way they can understand, helping them build confidence, independence, and strong communication skills. Families describe me as dependable, calm, organized, and genuinely invested in helping their children thrive. Whether you need ongoing care or dependable last-minute backup care, I'll provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your children.

Lyndsay $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Lyndsay and I have been working in child care for the past fifteen years. I now have my own children, 6 year old boy and in first grade and a 2 year old girl who is my little sidekick. I am offering part time childcare. I have experience with all age groups! Before I became a mom, I was a nanny full time and even after that I continued doing a nanny share. That is also what I am hoping to find here! Things I love to do with kids both big and small are playing outside, doing art projects, gym classes, imaginative play and exploring new playgrounds. I also to love help clean, cook and run occasional errands. Anything I can do to help you out!

Hi! I am a certified special education and general education teacher with over 8 years of education experience in both settings! I have worked with kiddos ages 6 weeks to 21 years old for over 12 years and I have loved it! My experiences in special education, general education, student theatre, nannying, care taking, house and pet sitting and many more, ensures that I am more than qualified, prepared and excited to work with you! I am currently taking a small break from full time teaching in order to finish my masters degree and in the mean time I am looking for some amazing families who need some help and have flexible schedules! I love singing, dancing, reading and writing! I love conversations and getting to know people. I am very open to “subbing” for any days your regular nanny might not be available as well! I’d truly love to help where I can and I’d love to get to know your family!

Hello Parents, I work full-time as a Program Manager and offer nanny services as a side job—something that brings me great joy. As a mother of two, I understand how important it is to provide children with nurturing care, patience, and gentle guidance. Spending time with kids is truly fulfilling for me. Their curiosity, laughter, and pure hearts are inspiring, and I cherish every moment I get to support their growth and well-being. It would be an honor to care for your little ones and support your family’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can best help. Warm regards, Mandana

Mandana was wonderful with our 18 month old and 4 year old! Very nurturing, warm, kind, and creative with play! They warmed up to her immediately! By the time she left it was as though the kids seemed like they knew her forever Would absolutely recommend and have her back as much as we need!
