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!

Unique $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm a compassionate and dedicated nanny with 2 years of experience working with children of various ages, ranging from infant to 8 years. During my senior year of high school over the weekends I cared for a very artsy, and outgoing girl who enjoyed nature walks and coloring in color books. We often spent our time reading, playing different games, and conversing with each other. I ensured she was washed, feed, and in bed on time. I enjoy babysitting because it's fun and keeps me on my toes as well as provides me with life skills such as responsibility and patience. Furthermore it's a rewarding way to earn money. I just turned 18 and graduated this June from Internet Academy. I enjoying reading, painting, going on walks, capturing photos of the outside scenery, and meal prepping.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! If you are looking for a reliable, flexible and experienced babysitter… here I am! Hello, I'm Brenda! I have experience as an au pair and full-time nanny. I have been look after newborns, infants and toddlers since I was 18 years old and I have been a nanny live for three years in Europe and babysitter in United States. I could say that I feel very comfortable taking care of babies since most of my years of experience are with them. Driving to school, preparing food, personal care, playing with kids like children and being an adult during tantrums are my daily responsibilities. My references always mention that I have good skills for getting them kids used to routines, and doing early stimulation activities. I consider myself a very mature and responsible person, patient, loving tidy and clean. Spanish speaker and advanced English Clean driving record US driving license

It is unprofessional of Brenda to not respond to a job request. We waited for long to not be able to find another caregiver.

Leahcim $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leahcim, and I’m a patient, kind, and bubbly babysitter who enjoys connecting with kids on their level. I bring a creative and thoughtful approach to childcare, always striving to make every moment fun, educational, and nurturing. Whether it’s reading stories, playing imaginative games, coloring, doing outdoor activities, or working through homework, I love helping children learn, grow, and express themselves. I have a strong foundation in child development and family studies through college coursework, which helps me better understand the emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs of children at every age. I’ve cared for toddlers and kids ages 2 to 10 and have hands-on experience with diaper changes, bottle prep, feeding, teething, and more. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks like meal prep, light cleaning, or pet care! I’m comfortable around animals and understand how to support a busy household. I also offer tutoring support and have experience tutoring elementary and middle school students with schoolwork. Families can count on me to be responsible, flexible, and communicative. I value building trust with both kids and parents and am committed to creating a safe, joyful, and supportive environment. Whether you need a fun playmate, a patient tutor, or an extra set of hands around the house, I’m here to help however I can!
