Hi! My name is Kelly. I have over 6 years of experience working with children, and I currently work full-time as a Marketing Director at a school. Since we're on summer break, I'm looking for an opportunity to earn some extra income. I've cared for children of all ages, with extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers. As a native Spanish speaker, I would love the opportunity to introduce your little ones to a new language. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and keeping them engaged through fun indoor and outdoor activities. I also have a clean driving record and can provide excellent references. I look forward to connecting with you and your family! 😊🌟
“Definitely hire her again. She was on time and very sweet to our 13 months old boy. The whole family like her. ”
Hello, I'm Caden, a down-to-earth and whimsical assistant preschool teacher & college student looking for some fun side gigs. I'm looking for families who love getting outside, art, science, and screen-free fun! I'm comfortable caring for 1-6 kids, cats (I have my own of 11.5 years :D),dogs, and reptiles (I have a big blue-tongued skink too!). My standard rate is 24-29$ depending on the group size however I’d love to offer a discounted rate of 22$ an hour flat for low income, LGBT, BIPOC & disabled families in need! Send me a message if this applies to you ❤️ My teaching background began at 15, working with the Seattle Art Museum & a local photography nonprofit, guiding fellow youth in their artistic journey. Through these early days, I gained a deep passion for accessible, hands-on learning, which has guided everything I do in my work. Over the past 3.5 years, I have worked in a wide range of licensed childcare roles for ages 6 months-17, primarily in STEM, art, social-emotional, and outdoor education. My specialties include: -extensive background in neurodivergent, disabled & LGBTQ+ populations. -working with large groups. - STEM, art & outdoor ed. - working with teens.

Hi - I’m Joey - I'm 61 and full of energy! I am offering child care and household services. Also- special event services/catering, party help. I'm semi-retired, after some amazing careers (from clothing design, baby boutique owner, event planning to catering)- and now I'm focusing on my art and working part time at a few of my interests. I spend a lot of time in nature walking and hiking with my dog Blue- rain or shine. (Also, spend a lot of time at Pickleball!) I love babies and kids- I'm a very patient, helpful, friendly person and love meeting new people. My adult daughters always tell me that I should be a caregiver/babysitter/nanny. I'm happy to help with homework, reading, doing crafts, going for walks etc. My baby/child care started very early- When I was 10 my mom had #5 and basically handed her over. We are very close now still. I can cook, clean, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have helped my 81 year mother quite a bit and am comfortable with senior care. I have always had dogs and cats and am happy to take care of those as well! I have current CPR and First Aid certificates. Love to meet in person! Joey
“Joey helped us out on very short notice. I really appreciated her flexibly, since I hadn't had time to really make plans. She got along great with our toddler and was warm, attentive, and professional.”
Nanny with many years of varied experience available for one child (age 3+). I genuinely enjoy talking with kids and standing back a little to allow them to grow and bloom. I love reading (same book, ten times in a row!), art and literacy. I would be interested in helping a child where primary language in the home is not English (I have TESOL certificate). Zero interest in screen time, for myself or for the child. I enjoy physical activity and being outdoors. Excellent companion to any child who might benefit from occasional hours of one-on-one attention during periods of transition or overwhelm. Thank you!
Hi!- My name is Hayaat I’m currently a student at University of Washington. I love taking care of children and have babysat many, including babies and toddlers, since I was 14. I have 4+ years of experience with responsibilities that have included in home things like meal prep, feeding children, changing diapers, playing games, and spending time with them. I’m familiar with bedtime and nap routines and can easily adjust to different ones. I also volunteer as a running and reading coach for elementary school students during after school programs. I’ve built a bond with all of my students through my patience, kindness and understanding of different behaviors and personalities. I’m an honest, people-oriented, and responsible person who loves meeting new people! I’m comfortable around all pets as well.
“Very sweet, reliable, and punctual. My daughter had fun playing with her. I would recommend Hayaat to anyone. ”

"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!"
