Hi! I’m Charlotte — a bilingual (French/English), CPR-certified babysitter who’s dependable, warm, and great with kids of all ages. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve supported families during everything from first-time date nights to last-minute schedule changes — always showing up with a calm, caring attitude. I also worked as an Educator in Coastal Ecology for 10 months, teaching children and adults ages 5–99! That role, plus my time as a camp counselor and family babysitter (cousins, nieces, nephews), has made me patient, adaptable, and great at connecting with kids quickly — even in new situations. Whether you need someone for a one-time evening, a weekend afternoon, or a backup sitter, I’m happy to step in and help. I make sure children feel safe and have fun, while keeping your home running smoothly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include: - Outdoor exploration and nature walks - Arts and crafts - Storytime and reading - Homework help (especially science!) - Gentle playtime and games for babies & toddlers I’m also happy to help with: - Meal prep and feeding - Diaper changes and nap routines - Bath and bedtime - Light tidying up after play or dinner I’m certified in CPR/AED through the Red Cross, and parents often describe me as calm, responsible, and easy to trust — especially in short-notice or first-time situations. Bonus: I also have experience caring for seniors and helping around the house. From driving to appointments and prepping meals to offering companionship, I love making life a little easier for families. If you’re looking for someone who’s kind, reliable, and brings positive energy into your home — I’d love to connect 💛 Let me know how I can support your family!

Hi Parents! If you have any questions after reading my profile, I encourage you to reach out to me, and I will do my best to get back to you right away. I have been caring for children since I was 11 years old, and I started working as a Professional Nanny/Household Manager/Mary Poppins when I was 17 until I was 33. At the age of 30, I opened the sought-after nanny agency in Seattle, The Nanny Consultant. During the course of my nanny career, I took dozens of classes supporting children in everything from sleep to development, and I feel like I have read every parenting book under the sun. Since then, I have had three children, who are now 4, 5, and 7, whom I homeschool. Years ago, I completed the basic skills exam from the INA with 100% accuracy. I have also completed the National Nanny Training Day in San Diego in 2013 and in Seattle in 2016, Nannypolozza in Orlando in 2015 and Vancouver Nanny Training in 2016 and spoke there in 2017. I most recently attended a newborn care specialist class. I truly love this profession as it is a true passion of mine. I am in it for the long run. I currently only provide back up care and date nights. My objective is to offer families the best and complete care for their children with love, nourishment, and guidance and to make sure the health, well-being, education, and safety of the children are never jeopardized. I undertake all tasks related to the care of the entire household. I support children by providing physical, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual play to ensure proper development. I always maintain good, open communication with parents and usually come with a nanny bag with books, coloring sheets, and a puzzle that is age-appropriate. "I have extensive experience in childcare and treat the children under my care as if they were my own. I have a natural ability to connect with children, and they tend to gravitate towards me (even animals too!). My priority is providing quality care to the children and creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them."

I love to engage with children in a safe, positive and joyful manner! Currently I work in a childcare nursery with kids generally between 6 months and 5 years old. I worked at a very busy childcare center in a health club for about 18 years, with children between ages 6 months and 12 years. I look forward to bringing my decades of childcare experience, enthusiasm and joy to my interactions with your child.

“So kind trying to meet Sir Jingles! Would recommend Julie for anyone wanting a kind cat sitter!”

I have experience babysitting children ranging from 18 months up to 13 years, including kids with ADHD and ASD. I'm a pretty calm and easygoing guy, and always make an effort to engage with the kids I watch. I’m a pretty active person and like to get the kids outside when I can; bike rides, lava monster and soccer are frequent activities. While I personally enjoy physical activities, I'm always happy to take it easy and break out some table games or crafts for a quiet night in. I am comfortable with pets as well. P.S. I completed my bachelor's in March ’22, and am currently searching for work in the communications field.

"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!"
