I just moved to Seattle, WA from Oregon to be going to graduate school for social work this upcoming summer! I haved lived in Oregon all my life, and went to Oregon State University in Corvallis for about three years and graduated with a degree in Sociology with a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences in 2024.I love working with children in all age groups, my former job was being an early childcare educator with the specialty in two year olds. My favorite part about working with children is being around lots of fun energy and smiles as well as seeing them grow as tiny humans! I have also done about 9 years on and off of babysitting and nannying on the side.
Hi!- My name is Hayaat I’m currently a student at University of Washington. I love taking care of children and have babysat many, including babies and toddlers, since I was 14. I have 4+ years of experience with responsibilities that have included in home things like meal prep, feeding children, changing diapers, playing games, and spending time with them. I’m familiar with bedtime and nap routines and can easily adjust to different ones. I also volunteer as a running and reading coach for elementary school students during after school programs. I’ve built a bond with all of my students through my patience, kindness and understanding of different behaviors and personalities. I’m an honest, people-oriented, and responsible person who loves meeting new people! I’m comfortable around all pets as well.
“Very sweet, reliable, and punctual. My daughter had fun playing with her. I would recommend Hayaat to anyone. ”

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.”
