$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Edmonds, WA

I grew up in an in-home childcare that my mother ran for about 12 years. I have four younger siblings as well. I started babysitting at 15 for the neighbors and by the time I was 19 I was doing overnights with a 3 month old baby girl, a two year old and ten year old. It was a lot but we did it! I’ve had a few other families over the years but it’s been some time as I am now a hairstylist and have worked in restaurants for the last 10-13 years. I am currently 37 years old and have my own 10 month old little boy who will be with me most of the time. He’s a very good, smart little guy and loves big kids. He has lots of older cousins he loves to play with. If you’re worried about it being too much for me to handle, please don’t. I am with him all day every day, we like to go outside and do things if you are comfortable with that. I am great with children.

Chase $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello and welcome! My name is Chase, and I am an energetic caregiver with over seven years of experience in youth ministry and a lifelong passion for working with children in various capacities. I’ve had the privilege for over 10 years of babysitting for children of all ages, from newborns to pre-teens, and in a variety of settings, from one-on-one care to larger groups. In addition to my babysitting experience, I’m also a practicing attorney, specializing in estate planning, which allows me to bring a unique perspective on family dynamics and the importance of thoughtful planning for the future. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your children while offering you peace of mind. Whether you're in need of regular care, a special evening out, or extra help during busy times, I’m here to support your family with love and expertise!

Booked by 1 family in Edmonds, WA

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.

Patty $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of four wonderful children and a grandmother of 13. When my children were small, I had a daycare business in my home so I could be at home for my own children as well. I have a deep love and respect for children and I delight in their pure and unique personalities. I also love older people and respect their significance and wisdom in the world. I am healthy and strong and would love to be of help to others.

"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!"
