Hi! My name is Monique, I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil. I’ve been working with children since I was 16, giving me over 17 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I also have experience supporting children with special needs, including autism. I’m patient, reliable, organized, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. I have a degree in Business from Brazil and I’m currently studying Marketing at Bellevue College. In my free time, I love hiking, traveling, and spending time outdoors. I look forward to connecting with families and providing loving, dependable care for their children.
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!”
Hi, I’m Payton! I work in higher education and help coach the UW dance & cheer team. I have a deep passion for childhood development and learning, particularly the ways that daily actions contribute to this, as evident by both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. The way babysitting fits into this is so much fun. Some of my favorite things are getting outdoors, crafting, playing alongside children, and helping kids learn. I have babysat regularly over the past 7 years, but have been babysitting, tutoring, and teaching dance since high school.
“Payton is awesome--on time, kind, and the kids love her.”
Hi families! I’m Dani 😊 I’m an experienced nanny who truly cares about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for kids. My priority is always making sure children feel comfortable, supported. I have several years of hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and young children, including working as a preschool teacher in a Montessori school, an au pair in the U.S., and a full-time nanny. Today, I focus on providing attentive personalized care, whether that’s keeping little ones on their routines, planning age-appropriate activities, or simply being present and responsive to their needs. I’m responsible, patient, organized, and very attentive to safety. I also love creating fun moments with kids through play, creativity, and outdoor time when possible. I’m a strong driver (10+ years of experience), fully vaccinated with booster, CPR & First Aid certified, and a non-smoker. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see how I can support your family. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Looking forward to hearing from you ☺️
“Dani did an amazing job taking care of our daughter. She was very professional and great at engaging with our five year old. We would recommend her highly to other families and hope to have her come back to take care of our daughter again. ”

"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!"
