Booked by 5 families in Renton, WA

Hi! I’m Amber and I’m a teacher that’s looking to help out families after school and on weekends! I’m interested in providing childcare, pet care, and/or household services! I’ve been teaching for the last 7 years in public schools. Prior to teaching I worked in childcare running the infant classroom and floating amongst the toddler-age classrooms. I also have experience working with children in special education so I feel very comfortable working with all ages and ability levels! Both my educational and work background almost exclusively revolve around children and have allowed me to develop an excellent set of knowledge and personable skills for working with kids. I feel very comfortable and confident caring for all ages!

“Amber is fantastic. She’s communicative, prompt, and easy to work with. She’s flexible and has tons of practical experience working with children. The kids had a great time with her and want her back soon! ”

Booked by 4 families in Renton, WA

Hi!, I’m Maryam, and I have over five years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. My mother owns a daycare center, where I have spent years helping and building strong skills in childcare, from infants to school aged kids. These experiences have given me a deep passion for creating safe, loving, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. I am a caring, energetic, and patient person who loves being active and creative with kids whether that means playing games, helping with schoolwork, or encouraging them through arts, crafts, and outdoor activities. I take pride in nurturing children while also supporting their development and independence. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with light housework, organizing, and running errands. I am also trained in CPR and first aid, ensuring I can respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. My love for children goes beyond caregiving I truly enjoy being part of their growth journey and forming positive, trusting relationships with families. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, experience, and passion for childcare into a supportive and nurturing home environment.

“Maryam has been an amazing sitter for my daughter. She's extremely reliable, communicates often and clearly, and my daughter loves playing with her. Absolutely would recommend.”

Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Hi, I’m Summer! I’m currently a part time nanny for twin 5 year olds and looking to pick up extra hours while I’m on break from school. I study Speech Pathology online and got certified this year to teach kids yoga which I’ve been loving and teach on occasion. I also have experience teaching swim lessons and have several years of childcare experience with kids of all ages, including multiple sets of twins. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun activities that help them learn and grow.

“Summer was fantastic! She was professional, warm and engaging and my 10 year old daughter loved her from the second she walked through the door. Will definitely hire Summer again!”

Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Hello! My name is Rumana, and I'm a recent graduate from UW Seattle. I’m currently studying for the MCAT and babysitting on the side, so my schedule is pretty flexible between the two! I am located in Seattle and can conveniently get to anywhere close by, such as Capitol Hill, but also have a car and can travel farther (as far as Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, etc.) if needed. I love kids and hope to become a pediatrician one day! To me, working with children is incredibly fun and exciting—I love to engage their curiosity and sense of play as a babysitter and help them learn how to be respectful and kind as peers at the same time. I have experience working with kids of all ages, particularly between infants to around 11 years old. When babysitting, I typically help kids read books, play lots of games, as well as do arts and crafts if available in order to stimulate their imagination and creativity. I am happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, and any other responsibilities you might need me to do. I babysat all throughout undergrad, amounting to 4 years of experience doing paid babysitting, and spent an initial 2 years working for a family with three talkative and active kids aged 1, 3, and 5. Afterwards, I began babysitting for many different families independently for an additional 2 years, and am super adaptable to a variety of kids! In terms of availability, I am typically available in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, but again, I can be flexible if needed! Parenting is hard; the most fulfilling aspect of babysitting to me is helping your family maintain balance within your lives amidst busy schedules, and I sincerely hope to use my experience working with kids in my future career!
