I have a long experience working with children all ages. I love being around kids, playing, teaching and having fun with them. I’m a very responsible, caring person that you can depend on me while you’re away.
“Lubna did a great job with our daughter, engaging her, redirecting her when needed, and chatting with her. We also appreciated her quick responsiveness and willingness to come at the last minute when we had another sitter cancel. We would definitely recommend her to other families!”
I am a social worker, endorsed infant-family specialist, and creative, joyful child care professions with nearly 15 years of experience in the field. I hold a graduate certificate in infant mental health and a masters in community focused social work. I'm deeply passionate about supporting children and families of all abilities and have extensive experience working with kiddos with suspected or identified disabilities or other non-traditional needs. I have been a classroom teacher, a nanny, a curriculum director, a theatre teacher, and much more! While I specialize in working with children birth to 5, I have worked with kiddos up to age 12 and love all ages!
Hi! I’m Julisa, a senior at the University of Washington offering dependable child care, pet care, and light household support in the Seattle area. I’ve cared for children ages 6 months to early teens since I was 16, bringing a mix of energy, patience, and creativity to each job—whether it’s playtime, homework help, or school pickups. I have a safe, reliable car and am comfortable driving kids to activities, appointments, or wherever they need to go. I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve worked with reactive dogs and have hands-on experience with puppy training as well. I grew up with two cats and now have a dog named Orion, who’s back home in California with my family. Alongside child and pet care, I’m happy to help with light cooking, tidying up, errands, or anything else that keeps your home running smoothly.
Hello families! 🙋🏻♀️ My name is Tamara. I’m a responsible, creative, and caring sitter with experience looking after children of all ages. I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment where kids can grow and thrive. I’m patient and empathetic, always prioritizing children’s emotional and physical well-being. I love encouraging creativity through crafts, educational games, and outdoor activities. I can also support with homework and daily routines such as meals and bedtime. I have cared for children from babies to teens and I’m skilled in bilingual activities (Spanish–English). ✨ My goal is to make sure every child has fun, learns, and—most importantly—feels safe, valued, and loved. I’d be delighted to meet your family!
I hold bachelor’s degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science and have years of experience caring for children of different ages. I previously worked long-term as a babysitter, worked in an after-school daycare program, and was a teacher at Bright Horizons. I’m detail-oriented, attentive, responsible, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and engaging environment for kids. I can also provide strong references if needed.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
