Yenethun $30 per hour for 1 child

About Me Hello! I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible caregiver who enjoys helping families and making their lives easier. I offer childcare, senior care, and household assistance, and I take pride in providing a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment. I am also a mother of two children whom I raised on my own. This experience has given me valuable firsthand knowledge of caring for children, managing a household, and supporting their growth and development as a single parent. My children are now grown: one is in college, and the other is in high school. I understand how important it is for parents to find someone they can trust with their children. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for. In addition to childcare, I have experience as a professional driver and can assist with transportation, errands, meal preparation, and household tasks. I also have experience caring for seniors and understand the importance of treating older adults with kindness, dignity, and respect. Whether you need help caring for your children, supporting an older family member, preparing meals, or keeping your household organized, I would be happy to help. My goal is to give families peace of mind by being reliable, compassionate, and helpful.

Victoria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Victoria! I'm a mom to a 9-month-old son and have worked for a family helping care for their kids (now ages 3 and 5), whom I've helped care for since they were born. I've been the trusted go-to sitter in my circle for years. I babysat regularly throughout my twenties, all based on word of mouth to friends and new clients alike. I'm most in my element with newborns through age two, and happily watch children up to age 11. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs. I'd like to learn about your expectations and routines in your child's life. I'm CPR and first-aid certified, and I am up to date with all vaccines include 2026 flu and Covid boosters. If you are looking for weekday care, I would bring my son with me - a built in companion for your child! I'm available without him on evenings and weekends. I'd love to chat about what your family needs! I'd love to chat about what your family needs and see if we’re a good match!

Nico $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Nico! I have over 2 years of professional childcare experience, working with children aged 3 months to 10 years. I also come from a large family with many younger cousins that I have helped care for since I was young. Working in childcare has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I am truly passionate and excited about providing children with quality, compassionate, and fun care. In my free time, I make art with various mediums (jewelry/beads, drawing, sewing, crocheting, photography, and clay), playing video games, hiking and spending time with my 2 wonder kitties and my partner! I am looking forward to meeting you, and providing your family with the quality care you deserve!

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kenmore, WA

Hi families! My name is Remi, and I am an enthusiastic childcare professional with over five years of experience. I am currently a student at the University of Washington and work as both a substitute teacher and nanny. I began my journey in childcare at a center where I worked with all age groups, from infants to school-age children. I later became a lead teacher of a toddler classroom and transitioned to leading a preschool classroom at another center. I hold an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education as well as the following certifications: Certificate in State Early Childhood Education and Certificate of Specialization in State Short Early Childhood Education - General. Other relevant certifications include First Aid, Pediatric and Adult CPR US, and Food Handler Permit. I am deeply passionate about fostering diversity and creating inclusive, mindful environments for children. I strive to promote culturally sensitive practices and take the time to learn about the families I work with to better meet their needs. Working with children has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love being part of their growth and development, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

“I highly recommend Remi! She has been an incredible support to our family, especially during the early days when my baby was a newborn. Whether it was during the day or late at night, Remi was always there, providing the care and help I needed. Her experience and confidence in handling babies are truly remarkable. She knows exactly how to calm, comfort, and care for little ones, even in the most challenging moments. Her calm demeanor and nurturing personality made a world of difference for me as a new parent. Remi is dependable, attentive, and always follows instructions carefully. She also offered helpful advice based on her experience, which was reassuring. Knowing that my baby was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to rest and focus when I needed to. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and experienced, Remi is the perfect choice. I would not hesitate to hire her again—she’s truly exceptional!”

"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!"
