Kylie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I go by Elliot and I use they/them pronouns! I am a nanny who got their start at an early learning school as a lead toddler teacher. I wanted to be able to provide more one on one care and I have since switched to nannying and I am currently training to become a postpartum doula. I love to make arts and crafts with the little ones and I don’t do any screen time. Outside here is so beautiful and I try to spend as much time as possible, walks and just soaks in the great grey overcast skies are my favorite.

Katelyn $20 per hour for 1 child

I love children and pets. I do pet sit and babysit when needed. I am very reliable and considerate for your pets, children, house, etc. I have been watching pets since I was 16 on and off during school and babysitting my parents neighbors kids. I am getting re-certified in CPR and First Aid for all ages. If I do babysit or pet sit at your place I will make sure to not make a mess and if that happens I will definitely clean up.

Rebekah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Rebekah 😊 I have almost 10 years of experience working with children in various settings. When I was in high school I taught dance to 3-10 year olds and had a consistent babysitting job. My undergraduate degree is in Elementary Education. I have worked in several formal and informal educational settings (day camps/overnight camps/after school programs/childcare centers). A couple of years ago I moved to Seattle and am now working full time as an administrative assistant. I’m looking for an occasional - to part time babysitting position. Some of my favorite movements working with kids include making crafts, exploring nature, fun science experiments and playing card games. I am currently only certified for Adult CPR in addition to general first aid. I have received Infant child CPR certifications in the past. After graduating college I received my preliminary teaching license. However, at the time I went to work in outdoor education settings. Due to this, my teaching license expired around 3 years ago. I have experience working with kids in Montessori settings. Also, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats. Percy and Hercules are my cats and I am the main sitter for my sister’s two dogs.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Manchester, WA

Hi there! I am the mom of 2 high school kids. I have a Masters in Secondary Education, and during the school year, I run my own math tutoring business, from elementary to high school students. I have 8 years experience as an art and science teacher. I am working part-time as a nanny for infants and small children. I have a lot of experience with infants and toddlers. I am an active and attentive caregiver: I sing to, read to, play with, teach, and comfort the infants/kids I nanny. I participated with my own kids in coop preschool. I still incorporate what I learned in preschool into my tutoring and nanny work: encouraging positive behavior, calmly setting limits, asking children questions, and really listening to children. I enjoy being around kids. I am a swimmer, outdoor enthusiast (hiking, biking and bird watching), and enjoy spending time with my family outdoors.

“Greta was an absolute lifesaver for our family. After working with multiple sitters and nannies, I can confidently say she was by far the best. She consistently went above and beyond, especially in caring for our daughter, who has special requirements. Greta and our daughter quickly became best friends—she was always excited when Greta came by. Greta supported us tremendously as new parents, offering thoughtful tips and advice when asked, and truly became part of our family. Even during our daughter’s “stranger danger” phase, Greta was someone she trusted and adored when others couldn’t calm her. We will absolutely continue to use Greta in the future and highly recommend her.”

"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!"
