Leila $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Leila, a student at the University of Washington with several years of experience working with children. In high school, I completed a 3-year childcare career pathway program where I worked closely with kids of different ages through activities, learning, and care. I also have hands-on experience caring for my two infant nieces and younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable with routines, playtime, meals, and helping children feel safe and supported. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like crafts, games, reading, and outdoor play. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and create a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I have two ragdoll cats of my own, and I am very comfortable around pets!

Leslie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter who genuinely loves children. I’m currently a UW finance student, and I grew up helping care for my two younger sisters—especially my youngest sister, who I helped raise from birth through age five with a 14-year age gap. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with infants and young children and familiar with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and bedtime. In addition to family experience, I have professional babysitting experience for a neighbor and have cared for children of different ages. I’ve also had a house dog my entire life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very active, enjoy playing sports and keeping kids engaged, and I’m always happy to help with homework. I can also assist with light household cleaning and keeping things organized. I’m dependable, attentive, and bring a positive, upbeat attitude to every family I work with!

Alyssa $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I am a middle school teacher (cooking-- yes, it exists!) with nearly twelve years in the classroom. Originally from the midwest, I spent many summers growing up working as a nanny, babysitting for neighbors, and eventually working in summer camps and a daycare for four years during college. I have always been in roles working with children of various ages, and my career in education has allowed me to continue fulfilling my passion. I teach my students how to cook, shop, and plan meals for themselves, in hopes of giving them confidence in the kitchen. I love what I do, even on the most chaotic days! You can expect me to drive myself to your home, arrive on time, interact and engage with your children, follow the directions you provide, and leave a clean house. My teacher "toolbox" allows me to adapt and create fun activities for us to do, related to the age and abilities of your child(ren). I love creating memories with your kids while you enjoy your time away, giving you peace of mind and the freedom to focus on yourself. I am happy to do what I can around the house to help support your family, as well as take care of any pets you may have. I have 3 dogs myself, and am comfortable with a variety of tasks necessary to keep your animals happy.

"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!"
