Find a babysitter in Renton, WA

Hello! My name is Alexa and I am a 2nd grade teacher with 12 years of experience! I love my job and enjoy watching children grow academically, socially and emotionally. I am an energetic, patient person who loves to engage with children in activities that interest them. I enjoy reading stories and spending time engaged in imaginative and creative play alongside children. I am more than willing to use my skills as a teacher to help with school assignments if needed. I work best with children ages 4-11. I am looking forward to getting to know your child!

Hi, my name is Kaleen. I just relocated to Seattle from Florida. I am a mother of a 22 year-old son, a 17 year-old daughter, and my little guy is Jakob who is 5 1/2 years old. I share custody so there are plenty of opportunities for me to pick up shifts when I don't have him. With that being said, I don't have any certifications for childcare training. I have raised three amazing children. I am CPR certified in adults and children. I am a veteran, student, I am kind, patient, loving, dependable, honest, hardworking, and I can assure you that your children will be in great hands. I have been in the healthcare field for 25 years working in hospital settings, emergency settings, in-home caregiver settings, and everything pharmacy related. I have completed one year of nursing school, hoping to finish the last year and work with chemotherapy patients. As a single mom, I understand most people cannot afford $25+ an hour, I can't either, so I am willing to be flexible with payments and rates. I have an SUV, so I can run errands or take your kiddos out to wherever you might love to go! Or maybe some of mine and Jake's favorite places. Please don't hesitate to ask any and all questions.

I am a child care worker of many years and have extensive experience with ages birth to 11. Mostly I’m a preschool teacher but for a number of years I nannied after hours in exchange for partial rent for three different families. When my child was younger I nannied for an additional three families. I love working with young children, making up silly games with them and doing art experiences with them, and helping them feel competent in their every day tasks! Now my child is in high school and I am free to do some Friday/Saturday babysitting.

With a solid foundation in caregiving, I am a third-year nursing student at Seattle University with plans to specialize in pediatrics due to my passion for working with children. I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience through babysitting kids from 5 months to 12 years old, completing a geriatric clinical, and volunteering at animal shelters. My time in Girl Scouts honed my leadership and caregiving skills, while my love for animals shows through caring for pets like cats, snakes, and even chickens. My rescue dog Mango, who I’ve had since childhood, reflects my lifelong commitment to care and compassion. Additionally, I have a passion for cooking, particularly baking, which I love to share with the families I work with, creating fun and delicious treats.

Hi! My name is Anders, and I’m a passionate, reliable caregiver with a background in child development and creative enrichment. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Washington, where I focused my studies on child development. I have been a full-time nanny and currently help run an arts-based after-school program in North Seattle that supports kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as those navigating complex home situations. In addition to that work, I volunteer each summer as a camp counselor at Camp Erin, a bereavement camp for children and teens. Through these experiences, I’ve gained deep insight into supporting kids and teens as they process big emotions with compassion and care. I'm especially committed to creating inclusive, affirming environments for children of all identities and abilities. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny and have been babysitting for families for the past 15 years. I love incorporating engaging arts and crafts projects, Cooking projects, and imaginative play into my time with kids—activities that spark creativity and confidence. I bring warmth, patience, and a calm presence to every home I work in, and I always strive to meet kids where they are with kindness and respect. I look forward to connecting with a family that values a thoughtful, nurturing caregiver who encourages kids to explore, express, and get imaginative!
