Booked by 127 families in Seattle, WA

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! ”

Booked by 105 families in Seattle, WA

Hello, Families! I recently legally changed my name to Kai, but Elisabeth/Beth was my name prior. I’ll happy to send proof of name change if needed! I'm a career nanny with over 15 years of nanny experience. I am also a newborn care specialist, birth doula, and postpartum doula. Though I am a US citizen, I was born and raised in Indonesia and speak fluent Indonesian as well as English. I am fully vaccinated, have a reliable car, clean driving record, and am CPR/First Aid/AED Certified for infants, children, and adults. I enjoy caring for children of all ages, but the bulk of my experience has been in the newborn to 5 year old range. I love getting children outdoors, helping facilitate art projects, listening to music, having dance parties, and also reading with children. I also love board games, having tea parties, and going on neighborhood adventures or outings to the zoo or aquarium. I currently work as a full-time nanny and am unavailable for full-time care, but I am available most weekday mornings before 9am as well as most weeknights after 5:30pm. I am also often available on weekends. ***I do not provide care for sick children, as I do not want to run the risk of my regular nanny family getting sick.*** I have a 4 hour or $120 minimum for bookings and am happy to be paid through Urbansitter, in cash, or through Venmo. I'm happy to do overnights and charge a flat rate of $175 for the hours between 10pm and 6am and my hourly rate for any additional hours. The exception for this would be infants under 12 months old, for which I charge my hourly rate through the night. Please feel free to message me if you have any additional questions. Thank you for your interest in booking with me!

“Kai was very sweet and patient with my three month old!”

Booked by 12 families in Seattle, WA

Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m 29 with about 15 years of childcare experience spanning all ages. I’m a recent transplant to Seattle - originally from Chicago, but spent the last three years living on the Big Island of Hawaii. I usually work full time in marketing, but right now am on the hunt for my next role - which opens up my daytime availability for childcare! I’ve worked with countless families, from nannying for vacationing families in Hawaii to spending 5 years with a Chicago family as their several times a week babysitter. I love to read, travel, and hike - please let me know if you’d like to chat further!

“Easy going, playful and engaged effortlessly with my 6/4 year olds. Highly recommend. ”

Booked by 15 families in Seattle, WA

Hi! My name is Alyx and I am a passionate educator and adventure enthusiast originally from Phoenix, Arizona. Currently I’m seeking occasional roles (evenings/weekends) as my schedule allows. My experience: I have over a decade of childcare experience, ranging from occasional babysitting to long-term nannying, newborns to twelve year olds— and I am also a former teacher! I have worked to develop meaningful relationships with the families I care for, and I looove getting to know kids. Their energy and curiosity is so wonderful and I think all adults can learn from young people. Thanks for considering me for your childcare needs ☺️.
