$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Medina, WA

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!”

$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Medina, WA

Nanny with many years of varied experience available for one child (age 3+). I genuinely enjoy talking with kids and standing back a little to allow them to grow and bloom. I love reading (same book, ten times in a row!), art and literacy. I would be interested in helping a child where primary language in the home is not English (I have TESOL certificate). Zero interest in screen time, for myself or for the child. I enjoy physical activity and being outdoors. Excellent companion to any child who might benefit from occasional hours of one-on-one attention during periods of transition or overwhelm. Thank you!

Booked by 1 family in Medina, WA

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. ”

Lani $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Medina, WA

Hi there! My name is Lani and I am offering child care services. I love working with children and helping them to learn and grow. I am active, creative, and enjoy the outdoors. Over the past 5 years, I have worked as a pediatric speech language pathologist. This has given me the opportunity to work with children of a variety of ages and backgrounds. Additional experience with children includes working as a child care assistant at a daycare, helping families and children have a fun and safe time on attractions at Walt Disney World while working as a Disney college program intern, and volunteering as a camp counselor at a camp for children battling life threatening or disabling medical conditions. I am First Aid/CPR certified and have completed the American Red Cross Advanced Child Care Training. I also have a master’s degree in speech language pathology and my schooling included coursework in child development.

"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!"
