Elizabeth $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello folks! I am Elizabeth and am so excited to meet you! I am happy to offer child care, senior care, and household services. I have a car and am available to help with driving tasks. I have over five years of experience in healthcare. As a float pool nurse, I worked in units all across the age spectrum from adolescent psychiatry to geriatric care. Therefore, I am very comfortable working with children and folks of all ages and abilities. I have my basic and advanced life support licenses and an overall focus on the well-being and joy of those I interact with. Additionally, I have a background in outdoor education. I’ve worked as camp counselor, soccer coach, and as well as a facilitator for team building workshops. I love to be outside and I love to help others explore the world around them in order to discover and grow into themselves. Happy to work with families with dogs, but I am allergic to cats. Thank you!

Anthea $25 per hour for 1 child

I LOVE being with children! Growing up in a huge family, I've always been surrounded by kids, so it's been a pretty easy task to take care of them. I started babysitting when I was 11, and then gradually it turned into a regular thing. I have been a part-time nanny, and now that I'm a full time Esthetician, I pick up babysitting shifts and date nights regularly! I baby-sit at least three times a month. I have watched children from the ages of new born to 11 years of age.

Booked by 1 family in Bainbridge Island, WA

Hello there! My name is Clare - I’m a female identifying 26 year old currently living in Capitol Hill. After recently returning from working at the local clinic on San Juan Island this winter, and teaching English to elementary students in Spain last fall, I’m looking forward to spending this next chapter at Seattle University obtaining my Nurse Practitioner Doctorate! With a professional history of 3 years at Seattle Children’s Hospital working as a nursing assistant, supporting a Montessori preschool in north Seattle after graduating from UW in 2022, and extensive childcare experience throughout high school, I’m excited to be able to support another wonderful family. I am CPR certified for infants, children and adults, have experience working on a small organic farm with goats and chickens, and am fully licensed to drive with a personal vehicle as well as a current Washington State CNA license for more extensive care needs. I’m so happy to provide more information about myself and my background as desired, and I so look forward to sharing and connecting!

Booked by 1 family in Bainbridge Island, WA

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!!”

Booked by 1 family in Bainbridge Island, WA

Hello, my name is Chloe! I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and recently moved to Seattle after earning my bachelor's degree in Child Development and Family Sciences and a post-baccalaureate in Communication Disorders and Sciences. I am currently pursuing a career in speech-language pathology because I am passionate about supporting children's growth, development, and communication. Working with children has always been the most rewarding part of my life. I currently work with toddlers at a Montessori daycare and have experience working in preschool and K-5 classrooms, including student teaching. I'm patient, dependable, and love incorporating art, imaginative play, and hands-on activities into my work.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
