Selah $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 22 years old and was born and raised in the central Seattle area. I’ve been working in childcare for the past four years, and it’s truly something I care deeply about. Supporting children as they learn, grow, and develop their own unique personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. My passion has always been caring for children, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and valued. I love building meaningful connections not only with the kids I care for, but also with their families. I’m excited for the opportunity to get to know you and your family, and I look forward to becoming a trusted and positive part of your lives.

Negar $30 per hour for 1 child

I hold bachelor’s degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science and have years of experience caring for children of different ages. I previously worked long-term as a babysitter, worked in an after-school daycare program, and was a teacher at Bright Horizons. I’m detail-oriented, attentive, responsible, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and engaging environment for kids. I can also provide strong references if needed.

María Jose $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Majo. I'm a responsible, caring, and patient babysitter with experience caring for children from 6 months to 10+ years old. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I have experience with feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, playtime, outdoor activities, homework help, and caring for multiple children. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care and give parents peace of mind while their children are in good hands.

Margaret $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! My name is Margaret (she/her) and I am, by day, a private practice somatic therapist. I received a BS in Psychology and Family Science and minor in Women's Studies. I received my masters in Social Work from UW. I love working with adults & being in the body, but deeply miss the childcare that I was doing before my career. I have around ~15 years of babysitting experience with kids ranged from 9 months - 14 years old. I love the energy kids have and so appreciate their awe and excitement about the world. I value encouragement, curiosity, creativity, communication, autonomy, and mindfulness in my interactions with kids! I strive to be a thoughtful and caring companion and role model, not a detached authoritative figure. I value boundaries and helping kids learn how to hear and say no, along with trusting their own boundaries and choices. Ultimately, I enjoy being in the fluidity of being with kids - I love making art, singing, dancing, being silly with kids; doing the mundane things such as helping structure chores; engaging in emotionally challenging situations and helping build self-assuredness in feeling through emotions. I highly value relational building with kids and their families and appreciate transparent communication, collaboration, trust, accountability, and overall co-creating safety for your child/ren. I would love to chat more with you and your family to see if this would be a good fit for you all.

Brett $25 per hour for 1 child

Hiya! My name's Brett. I'm a childcare worker and teacher with seven years of professional experience. I currently work as an elementary school tutor in North Seattle. I've previously worked as a behavioral interventionist, student mentor, and summer camp counselor. My life's passion is bringing happiness to children, encouraging their learning and creativity, and just having fun! My childcare approach is based on empathy, responsibility, and compassion. When children are treated with respect and held accountable for their actions, it teaches them to be responsible, independent, and have a strong sense of self-worth. Outside of childcare, I love writing (fiction and poetry), drawing, reading, video games, and spending time in the outdoors. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and trained in various health and safety procedures. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

"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!"
