Booked by 1 family in Seattle, WA
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.
“Rebecca was very friendly, punctual, and a great human being to hang out with. She helped me organize a lot of my belongings that got shipped to me and break down boxes. I really appreciated her help to get my apartment in order! Thanks Rebecca :)”

Hi there! I’m a current pre school teacher and early childhood educator! I’ve been working with kids from all ages from school age to infancy for the past 7 years. I also have experience being a home health aide for people living in their golden years! I love seeing children grow and develop their own skills and unique abilities. I specifically love doing art projects and reading with the kiddos! Some of my hobbies include embroidery, reading and hiking!

Hi! My name is Alice! I have experience with newborns, toddlers, as well as young, school aged children. I approach every family with compassion and the understanding that safety is always a number one priority. Every child is treated with the care that fits their individual needs, whether that means keeping them creatively engaged with a fun activity or providing homework help.

Hi there! My name is Natalie and I was a babysitter in high school for 3 years. I babysat a little boy from age 2-5 years old over the course of high school. After graduating from Holy Names Academy, I finished my bachelors degree at Bellevue College. I currently work at a real estate office and would love the opportunity to nanny on the weekends and Friday nights! I love children and really enjoy being a reliable resource for families who are looking for childcare. If you have any questions or want to learn more about me, please feel free to reach out!
“Natalie is the best! My 2 little boys loved spending NYE with Natalie. She made the night so fun for them with smores and celebrations. I highly recommend! My boys keep asking when she can come over again. Thanks Natalie!!”
