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!

Eduarda $31 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Eduarda, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’m currently living in the United States and have experience caring for children of different ages through my au pair journey. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I would describe myself as responsible, patient, energetic, and very loving. I love engaging children with activities like arts and crafts, games, outdoor walks, music, movies, and creative play. I also understand the importance of routines, communication, and making sure parents feel confident and at ease while their children are in my care. Being away from my own family taught me a lot about maturity, adaptability, and empathy, which I bring into my childcare style every day. I always try to build a genuine connection with the families I work with and become someone both parents and children can trust. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the kids, meal/snack preparation, bedtime routines, and keeping children entertained in a positive and attentive way. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and help however I can. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to connecting with you! Best, Eduarda

Brett $22 per hour for 1 child

Hiya! My name's Brett. I'm a childcare worker and teacher with seven years of professional experience with children aged 4-12. I currently work as a tutor at two elementary schools here in Seattle. I've previously worked as a behavioral interventionist, student mentor, and summer camp counselor. My life's passion is bringing happiness to children, encouraging their learning and creativity, and just having fun! My childcare approach is based on empathy, responsibility, and compassion. When children are treated with respect and held accountable for their actions, it teaches them to be responsible, independent, and have a strong sense of self-worth. Outside of childcare, I love writing (fiction and poetry), drawing, reading, video games, and spending time in the outdoors. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and trained in various health and safety procedures. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Hello! My name is Katie. I have been working as a full time nanny for the last 6 years, and babysat for several years prior as well. I have cared for kids aged 4 months to 10 years, and also helped as a household manager- scheduling appointments and running errands. Additionally, I have experience working in a Montessori school/daycare. I would love to chat more and see if I could be a good fit with your family!

Vallere $28 per hour for 1 child

I have three children of my own but they are older now. 😉I am an elementary teacher and enjoy being with kids. It would be great to enjoy littles outside of the school setting. I can be structured but also fun. I know how difficult it is to be a parent and I’d love to help you out with being with your littles. I enjoy being outdoors.
