Grace $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Grace and I’ve been a nanny in the Seattle area for over 12 years. I am looking for families who need care predominantly on the weekends as I am now working to save money in order to go back to school to finish my degree in Family Sciences. I’m currently a full time nanny during the week for the family I’ve been with for almost 5 years. I love them dearly and am not looking to modify any of my weekday hours. I’ve been babysitting since I was 11, taking care of neighborhood kids and cousins, transitioning to a full time nanny during the summer I was 16. In the 12 years since I’ve worked with 11 families of all different sizes, for ages ranging 3 mos. to 11 years. I have a wide-ranging experience in different household/family tasks such as cooking, cleaning, organizing, scheduling, crafting, tutoring and driving. I truly love working with children, protecting and supporting the sacred time of childhood, while also being able to support families and parents.

Cynthia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Cindy, proud mother of 4 sons. My boys were raised in Bothell where we attended cooperative schools from preschool through elementary school. I was blessed to be a stay at home mom which gave me the opportunity to experience the growth, individual needs, and love of many children. We enjoyed many field trips, community service projects, science and art outings. Each child was supported by our team of parents and teachers. I met lifetime friends, and was a nanny for a family of 3 children for 12 years. I also volunteered at Sunday school, and provided care for children in my home. I became an RN in 2013 when family illnesses required the professional skills for at home care. I have worked with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, primary schoolers, teenagers and seniors. My 2 previous 4 legged companions were rescue labs. Recently, I enjoyed my great niece and 3 great nephews ages 2-6 in New Mexico. I was on several "nana drop off lists", and find myself at the kids table as much as possible. I will be an asset to your family and truly delight in your children! I especially love the energy, honesty, curiosity and sweetness of preschoolers!

Elizabeth $23 per hour for 1 child

I am a nurse and have been working for 6 years. I have worked the longest (and currently work) in primary care which includes children of all ages. Prior to my nursing degree, I was a nanny and caregiver throughout college (4 years), and I babysat in high school too (all ages). I am hoping to offer nanny services on my off days to help save for our own little one in the next year or so :) I love children of all ages and am excited to meet new families!

Booked by 1 family in Kenmore, WA

Hi! I’m Yasmin and have been babysitting and nannying for over 20 years. I would describe myself as extremely outgoing, fun and bubbly! I am an avid traveler and have traveled to over 30 countries! I am fluent in Arabic and went to boarding school in Amman, Jordan. I have a huge family with over 60 cousins, nephews and nieces. I love kids and did my first year of university in Education. I did receive honors and after graduation I went on and received my certification in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). I am now doing a masters program and am looking to babysit part time. Both my parents are chefs/baker so I love to cook and feed nutritious meals to your kids. I’m clean, reliable and honest. I’m excited to connect, learn and help your family! Thank you!!

"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!"
