Hi, I'm Francis! I am a passionate, career-focused educator offering over 10 years of private nanny experience alongside a decade of professional childcare center experience. I hold an AA in Early Childhood Education and a Specialized Infant and Toddler Certificate from Bellevue College. Additionally, I am fully up to date on all safety, background, and CPR certifications, including Food Handlers and Safe Sleep guidelines. My extensive career spans every age group, allowing me to tailor my care to your family's exact needs: - Infants & Toddlers: I specialize in the Magda Gerber (RIE) philosophy, prioritizing respectful, attentive care that honors a child’s natural pace, emotional expression, and independence. - Preschool & School-Age: I currently serve as a Special Education Para-educator in the Bellevue School District and have previous experience as a Lead Teacher at Bellevue College ELC. I excel at keeping kids active, helping them navigate complex emotions, and building positive habits through gentle but firm boundaries. - Active & Outdoor Fun: I love nature walks and am always excited to take older kids hiking! I thrive on keeping children engaged with the outdoors, exploring local trails, and staying active in a fun, safe environment. - Bonus for Pet Owners: I am an animal lover! I have my own dog, Miko, and am always happy to provide pet sitting or love to your furry family members alongside your children. I love what I do, and I look forward to supporting your family during evenings, weekends, and school breaks!
My name is Alisa, and I'd love the opportunity to support your family! I'm a proud mom to two amazing teenagers, two fur babies, and one very spoiled tortoise named Sheldon. 😊 As a former 7-year PTA volunteer, a current soccer mom, and someone with many years of caregiving experience with children of all ages, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. My philosophy is simple: I strive to be the kind of sitter I'd want to hire for my own family. I'm available for a variety of family needs, including: ✨ Date nights & evenings ✨ Weekends ✨ Overnight care ✨ Meal preparation ✨ Light housekeeping ✨ Transportation to and from activities
“Alisa was incredible with my kids (4 and almost 1). She was prompt, super professional, and somehow left our house in better shape than when she got here. As soon as Alisa left, my oldest said she was bored and asked when Alisa could return. Easily one of the best sitters we’ve come across, highly recommend for anyone looking for someone for occasional babysitting. We will absolutely be looking to hire her again. ”
Hello families! My name is Emma! I am a warm, creative, and reliable caregiver. I am currently a graduate student at UW studying school psychology and would love to do some occasional or part time babysitting for your family. I have several years of experience working in schools with school-aged children. I also have lots of experience working with kids with disabilities. I enjoy baking and cooking, spending lots of time outside, and crafting! I love to engage kids in fun activities and lean into their unique interests. Please reach out if you’d like more information about my background. I’d love to get to know your family! Thank you.
“Emma was so wonderful with our 2 year old! We would love to have her back again!”
Hello there! I am Milena, i studied at Bellevue christian school before moving to online and am on a gap year before heading to college! I worked at mercer island elementary as a Teachers assistant where i truly found my love for children. Growing up i was always babysitting and always knew i wanted kids of my own. I enjoy readying, going to the park, and playing with all my nanny kids favorite toys. I would describe myself as loving, communicative, and reliable.
Hiiiii! My name is Bruna, and I am a dedicated, responsible, and compassionate childcare provider with extensive experience caring for children of different ages, abilities, and needs. I am truly passionate about supporting children’s development and creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where they can thrive. I worked for two years at a school with children ages 6 to 14, supporting them primarily with reading, literature, and educational activities. In addition, I have hands-on experience with younger children, including caring for one-year-old twin babies for five months, where I was responsible for feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, and daily care. I also have strong experience working with children with special needs. I cared for a girl with cerebral palsy for one year, providing attentive, individualized, and compassionate support. I have also cared for a 6-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, including overnight care, ensuring their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Currently, I work with a non-verbal child with level 3 autism, which has strengthened my skills in patience, routine-based care, alternative communication, and emotional regulation. I am highly adaptable and comfortable tailoring my care to each child’s unique needs while maintaining clear communication and trust with families. I take my role very seriously and always strive to provide high-quality care in a loving, calm, and supportive environment. Building strong relationships with both children and parents is a priority for me, and I am fully committed to being a reliable and positive presence in each child’s life. plussss: I love animals 🐶🐱🐹🐷

"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!"
