Booked by 59 families in Hobart, WA

Hi there! So glad you found my page! My name is Sydney. You can call me Syd! I'm a pediatric occupational therapist looking to provide respite to parents of children with disabilities. I know that it can be challenging to find reliable, understanding, and knowledgeable date night sitters for your children and I’m here to help. I am experienced in supporting children with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, PDA, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. Looking forward to connecting. Disclaimer: If I currently provide occupational therapy services to your child, I cannot also provide child care. That would be considered a dual relationship and would violate OT professional ethics codes. Cancellation policy: If a family cancels with me with less than 24 hours notice, I do charge 50% of the agreed upon rate. By booking with me, you agree to these terms.

“Syd was great! She somehow even managed to get my kiddo to sleep!! Truly grateful 🖤”

Hi. My name is Itu. I’m a very dependable babysitter, who knows how to provide exceptional care for your children. I have 8 years experience with children of all ages starting from infants to teenagers. I’m well-versed in creating a fun, nurturing environment that kids love and parents trust. I’m CPR and First Aid Certified. And also as all families are unique, I don’t really have a specific way of how I do things, you tell me what you need and I do just that, adding a little bit where I think it’s needed but otherwise I tailor my approach to fit your child’s needs and your household routines.. I’m dedicated to making babysitting time special for your children and stress-free for you. Thank you! Chat to you soon..

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 19 families in Hobart, WA

Hi, my name is Diana! I’m 30 years old and hold a bachelor’s degree in Educational Psychology. I’m currently working as an early preschool teacher, and I’m passionate about children’s development and the many ways they learn. I love exploring how kids think, feel, express themselves, and how to best support their growth. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children—as both a nanny and during my college years. I’ve also worked as a Spanish and English teacher, as well as with larger groups of children, so I feel confident creating engaging activities for all ages. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include crafts, painting, science experiments, puzzles, board games, and outdoor sports. I also enjoy helping with homework, teaching Spanish, encouraging positive behavior, and offering light household support. I’m fully vaccinated and certified in CPR, First Aid, and MERIT by Early Learning Professionals in Washington. I’d love to bring creativity, patience, and fun into your child’s day while making sure they feel safe and supported.

“Diana was our son's nanny for a year and she was the best! Always arrived on time, quick to learn our routine, knew what to do with little instruction, was a self-starter. We trusted our son with her and let her lead with which activities to do at home. She was pretty much the perfect nanny for us. We definitely recommend her.”

"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!"
