Booked by 18 families in Port Ludlow, WA

Hi, my name is Nina and I moved up here about a year ago from Florida, now I’m in school for nursing. I’m available for babysitting, senior care, and house services. Im just looking for side work to help pay for school. Back home I was teaching kids at children’s church ages 2-10. Also I did baby sit a few kids after church at their houses per the parents request (ages 3,7, and 10). I’ve grown up mainly around older people and enjoy spending time with them as well. My grandparents run a cleaning business back home which I helped with a lot too if other services are needed. Right now I work at Seattle children’s hospital and at a clinic for children on the spectrum. I also have a lot of back ground volunteering in SPED classrooms and ASD clinics. Since I work in a clinical setting I am CPR, BLS, FIRST AID, AND CPI certified. Overall I’m really into music, reading, and the arts. So I always find something fun to do with the kids whether it’s just dance, teaching instruments, drawing, karaoke, teaching a card games, helping with homework, or reading them a story! I like cook for my siblings and other kids I have babysat, so if needed I can cook as well.

Nina was very responsive with the scheduling process. My three year old had a great time playing and being read to. Nina did great with cleaning up after feeding him. Highly recommend her and hope to work again with her.

Booked by 15 families in Port Ludlow, WA

Hi! My name is Alyx and I am a passionate educator and adventure enthusiast originally from Phoenix, Arizona. Currently I’m seeking occasional roles (evenings/weekends) as my schedule allows. My experience: I have over a decade of childcare experience, ranging from occasional babysitting to long-term nannying, newborns to twelve year olds— and I am also a former teacher! I have worked to develop meaningful relationships with the families I care for, and I looove getting to know kids. Their energy and curiosity is so wonderful and I think all adults can learn from young people. Thanks for considering me for your childcare needs ☺️.

Booked by 1 family in Port Ludlow, WA

I spent my freshmen and Sophomore year (2[removed]) at college working with preschool English language learners. From 2015 to 2018 I worked at Green Tree Early Education center in Downtown Seattle. After graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Early Education, I went for a Masters in Computer Science from Northeastern University. During my corporate career, I worked EST which allowed me to be an afterschool nanny/manny starting during the pandemic. I have worked with 7 different families and my undergraduate education was focused on infants and toddlers. Most of my experience is in transitional care / mothers helper while the families are on a waitlist for childcare centers. However my most recent experience was as a nanny/manny for two boys with Autism Spectrum disorder. I have an outdated first aid and CPR certification but I am almost certain there has not been any significant changes since 2017. I am comfortable around pets

Brian responded to my post looking for a last minute sitter for my 3 kids (11, 8, 4) when our regular sitter cancelled. He arrived 10 mins early to get settled, and immediately engaged with my 11 year old. He had a creative dinner idea for the kids, even got our 4yo to eat a lot, and I came home to happy kids who couldn’t wait to tell me about all the fun they had. He even got my 4yo to play with him, and she’s usually very hesitant towards new people. He followed her multi-step bedtime routine successfully too. Full disclosure: Brian is my coworker’s husband, so I knew and had met him before hiring him. After rave reviews from my kids, I will definitely be hiring him again.

Booked by 12 families in Port Ludlow, WA

Hello, I’m Selene! Ive worked in an elementary and middle school as a para-educator. I thoroughly enjoy working and spending time with kiddos of all ages! I’ve had experience watching my newborn nephews, as well as watching my little cousins and family friends. So I’m familiar with all ages ranging from newborns, toddlers, and tweens and always look forward to join them in their adventures! Let me help make your life easier and worry about your kids while you enjoy a stress free much needed break 🤞🏻 I’m more familiar watching cats than dogs but am willing to do either :)

We had a sitter cancel on us very last minute and Selene came to the rescue! She was wonderful with our 3 small kids (8, 5 and 3). Cant wait to have her babysit again!

Booked by 13 families in Port Ludlow, WA

Hey guys! My name is Laura, I'm 28 years old, I have a law degree from Brazil and I currently provide child and pet care in Seattle. In my home country, I worked with children aged 0 to 14 (several at the same time!) in a playground, as a monitor, and I also provided care for my younger sister for several years (she is currently 9 years old!) . In Seattle, I have extensive experience caring for infants (including twins!) and toddlers. In addition to changing diapers, offering bottles and healthy foods and lots of affection and love, I also have experience with food introduction, games for milestone development and simple sign languages ​​for infant communication. I also love listening to music, entertaining and exercising the imagination of children of all ages! I am also available to clean areas related to children and I have good experience with this. Finally, I have lived with pets my entire life and can act as a sitter for them with all the affection and happiness that your pet deserves.

Laura was wonderful with our 3 year old. He was having a very hard time with us leaving and she was calm, sweet, and handled it so well. She texted us soon after we left, letting us know that everything was going well. She was also on time and very communicative. We would love to work with her again soon!
