Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Pet care only: I’ve lived with cats and dogs growing up so I love taking care of them. Currently working for a flexible company so my work hours are flexible.

Yadi was able to take care of my cat on short notice. It’s been nothing short of a great experience - Yadi is great at communicating and updating me to make sure I felt comfortable! My cat also seemed to really enjoy his time with her 😄

Booked by 10 families in Renton, WA

Hi family! I’m Diana – an energetic, kind, and experienced nanny and teacher who genuinely loves working with kids of all ages. With over six years of experience in education and childcare, I bring a blend of patience, organization, and a fun-loving attitude to every family I work with. I’m a graduate teacher and have worked with children ranging from 2 months to 6 years old in both classroom and home settings. I started babysitting my niece and nephew. I took care of a wonderful family with three children (now 2, 4, and 6 years old) for two years, helping with everything from morning routines and after-school activities to meals and bedtime. I’m currently caring for a 7-month-old baby, which has further deepened my experience with infants. I love spending time outdoors with children—whether it’s walks, playdates, or playground adventures—and I always try to nurture their creativity through art and craft projects. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and always strive to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for kids to thrive. I’m excited to continue supporting families in my area and would love to connect! Feel free to reach out, Diana

Diana was prompt, kind, and played lots of arts and crafts etc with my 4yo, and very understanding when we ran a bit late. My daughter had a great time!

Hi. My name is Itu. I’m a very dependable babysitter, who knows how to provide exceptional care for your children. I have 8 years experience with children of all ages starting from infants to teenagers. I’m well-versed in creating a fun, nurturing environment that kids love and parents trust. I’m CPR and First Aid Certified.

I’m dedicated to making babysitting time special for your children and stress-free for you. Thank you! Chat to you soon..

Itu is compassionate, friendly and our son enjoyed spending the day with her! She's very collaborative and tailored babysitting to our son well

Booked by 4 families in Renton, WA

Hi! My name is Halima, and I offer childcare services. I recently applied to medical school with the goal of becoming a pediatrician as caring for and supporting children has always been a passion of mine. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, caring for kids of all ages, from infants to older children. As the oldest sibling in my family, I also gained hands-on experience by helping care for my younger siblings. My responsibilities have included meal prep, feeding, diaper changes, playtime, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I’m comfortable managing bedtime and nap time and can follow any routine you already have in place. Beyond babysitting, I’ve worked closely with children in educational settings. I’ve taught reading in an elementary school reading program, volunteered as a coach for a running program, taught at weekend school, led kids through fun science experiments, and tutored students in math. These experiences have strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to understand how different children learn and express themselves. I make sure to arrive on time and prepared, keeping families informed so everything runs smoothly. With each child, I pay attention to what they need and respond in ways that make them feel heard and supported. I take the time to learn their routines, favorite activities, and personalities, and I adjust my approach so they feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m excited to meet your family and would love the opportunity to support you and your little one!
