Hi, my name is Helen! I moved to Seattle after high school and completed my college career here. I've worked most of my life with children and I love it. I love how much character their personalities already have and the energy and joy they bring to the table. I've worked personally for families as well as done babysitting for events where childcare is provided; which has given me a chance to watch wide variety of ages. The imagination that children possess is something to behold, nothing is simply ever just a 'toy' but has a whole story to it. That's a little bit about me! I hope to meet you in person soon!
Hi, I’m Payton! I work in higher education and help coach the UW dance & cheer team. I have a deep passion for childhood development and learning, particularly the ways that daily actions contribute to this, as evident by both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. The way babysitting fits into this is so much fun. Some of my favorite things are getting outdoors, crafting, playing alongside children, and helping kids learn. I have babysat regularly over the past 7 years, but have been babysitting, tutoring, and teaching dance since high school.
I spent my freshmen and Sophomore year (2[removed]) at college working with preschool English language learners. From 2015 to 2018 I worked at Green Tree Early Education center in Downtown Seattle. After graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Early Education, I went for a Masters in Computer Science from Northeastern University. During my corporate career, I worked EST which allowed me to be an afterschool nanny/manny starting during the pandemic. I have worked with 7 different families and my undergraduate education was focused on infants and toddlers. Most of my experience is in transitional care / mothers helper while the families are on a waitlist for childcare centers. However my most recent experience was as a nanny/manny for two boys with Autism Spectrum disorder. I have an outdated first aid and CPR certification but I am almost certain there has not been any significant changes since 2017. I am comfortable around pets

Hello! I have a full time job so at this time I am not accepting bookings from new families during M-F at this time. My name is Jasmine! I’m a Seattle native and a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 6 years of experience in providing exceptional care for children of all ages. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for children of all ages! My approach to childcare is rooted in a strong commitment to safety, education, and emotional support. I believe in fostering a positive and fun atmosphere while also encouraging development through age appropriate activities. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative play, or managing daily routines, I strive to be a reliable and supportive presence in every child’s life. I’m also skilled in handling various aspects of household management, including meal preparation, light housekeeping, and scheduling. My goal is to ensure that parents feel confident and at ease knowing their children are in capable hands. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions or want to know more! I look forward to speaking with you! Thank you so much!
“Jasmine has helped us out a few times with our 4 and 1 year old! She was very sweet and attentive. Our kiddos warmed up to her with ease! Would recommend and have her back, and intend to! ”
Hey there, I’m Julia – Ready to make your home life a little smoother. Hi, I’m 29 years old and have been working with kids since I was 16. I’ve cared for babies, toddlers, school-aged kids—you name it. I’m also a college student with a background in healthcare and a lot of experience helping families keep things running smoothly. I’ve worked in a woman's hospital, trained as an EMT (and worked in the field for two years), most recently spent three years as an Au Pair in the U.S., helping families manage everything from busy school mornings to bedtime routine - and even running errands that they don't have time time. Here’s what I can help with: - Morning routines, breakfast, and school prep. - Keeping the house clean and organized. - Grocery runs, errands, and laundry. - Meal prep and dinner help - Picking up kids, driving to activities, and evening wind-down I’m extroverted, dependable, and love getting kids engaged with creative games, crafts, and outdoor play. I also understand the importance of helping parents feel supported and stress-free. If you’re looking for someone who can jump in and make your home run a little smoother, I’d love to connect.
