Find an emergency babysitter in Medina, WA

Hi all! My name is Margaret (she/her) and I am, by day, a private practice somatic therapist. I received a BS in Psychology and Family Science and minor in Women's Studies. I received my masters in Social Work from UW. I love working with adults & being in the body, but deeply miss the childcare that I was doing before my career. I have around ~15 years of babysitting experience with kids ranged from 9 months - 14 years old. I love the energy kids have and so appreciate their awe and excitement about the world. I value encouragement, curiosity, creativity, communication, autonomy, and mindfulness in my interactions with kids! I strive to be a thoughtful and caring companion and role model, not a detached authoritative figure. I value boundaries and helping kids learn how to hear and say no, along with trusting their own boundaries and choices. Ultimately, I enjoy being in the fluidity of being with kids - I love making art, singing, dancing, being silly with kids; doing the mundane things such as helping structure chores; engaging in emotionally challenging situations and helping build self-assuredness in feeling through emotions. I highly value relational building with kids and their families and appreciate transparent communication, collaboration, trust, accountability, and overall co-creating safety for your child/ren. I would love to chat more with you and your family to see if this would be a good fit for you all.

Hi! My name is Chawa, and I absolutely love working with children. I've spent the past year working at a Montessori school with toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years old, and it's been such a rewarding experience. I enjoy getting to know each child's unique personality and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I also have a few years of babysitting experience with children ranging from 12 months to 8 years old. My responsibilities have included diaper changes, bottle feeding and meals, preparing meals and snacks, engaging children in age-appropriate play and learning activities, reading, helping with nap time, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. I'm CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) certified, and I always prioritize children's safety while creating a fun, nurturing, and positive environment where they can learn and grow. Families have described me as calm, responsible, and trustworthy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love encouraging their curiosity through games, crafts, outdoor play, books, and other engaging activities. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, communicating openly with parents, and treating every child with kindness and patience. I'm happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, meal preparation, homework assistance for older kids, and creating a smooth, stress free experience for the whole family. I look forward to getting to know your family!

Hiya! My name's Brett. I'm a childcare worker and teacher with seven years of professional experience. I currently work as an elementary school tutor in North Seattle. I've previously worked as a behavioral interventionist, student mentor, and summer camp counselor. My life's passion is bringing happiness to children, encouraging their learning and creativity, and just having fun! My childcare approach is based on empathy, responsibility, and compassion. When children are treated with respect and held accountable for their actions, it teaches them to be responsible, independent, and have a strong sense of self-worth. Outside of childcare, I love writing (fiction and poetry), drawing, reading, video games, and spending time in the outdoors. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and trained in various health and safety procedures. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

I was born in Vermont as the oldest of five children. I have lived in Seattle for almost 20 years and I am the mom of two. My day job is as a Physician Assistant. I love kids of all ages and as a working mom I’m very familiar with how difficult the process of finding childcare providers can be. I am grateful for the opportunity to provide your family reliable and nurturing care that comes from a lifetime of experience.

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter who genuinely loves children. I’m currently a UW finance student, and I grew up helping care for my two younger sisters—especially my youngest sister, who I helped raise from birth through age five with a 14-year age gap. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with infants and young children and familiar with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and bedtime. In addition to family experience, I have professional babysitting experience for a neighbor and have cared for children of different ages. I’ve also had a house dog my entire life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very active, enjoy playing sports and keeping kids engaged, and I’m always happy to help with homework. I can also assist with light household cleaning and keeping things organized. I’m dependable, attentive, and bring a positive, upbeat attitude to every family I work with!
