Leila $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Leila, a student at the University of Washington with several years of experience working with children. In high school, I completed a 3-year childcare career pathway program where I worked closely with kids of different ages through activities, learning, and care. I also have hands-on experience caring for my two infant nieces and younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable with routines, playtime, meals, and helping children feel safe and supported. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like crafts, games, reading, and outdoor play. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and create a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I have two ragdoll cats of my own, and I am very comfortable around pets!

Talles $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Talles, and I’m 28 years old with a college degree. I live and work in Bellevue, WA. My work hours are from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, so I’m available for babysitting in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’m a non-smoker, pet-friendly, and fully vaccinated for your peace of mind. I’m known for being calm, observant, independent, and enthusiastic. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love engaging them through cooking, arts and crafts, nature walks, and helping them find compatible friends and playdates. My Experience: Infants (0 to 2 years): This is the age group I’ve been working with the most recently! I’ve gained solid experience babysitting infants and have also worked as a nanny before starting my current job. I have excellent references available upon request. Toddlers and Older Children (3+ years): • I was a nanny for a toddler until he turned 6 years old. • I also worked as a camp counselor last summer for 3 months, taking care of kids aged 4 to 13 in different age groups. This included everything from morning routines to bedtime — a truly rewarding experience that taught me a lot! • At camp, I completed CPR/First Aid (Red Cross certified) and lifeguard training. I’m ideally looking for babysitting jobs after work hours and for date nights. I would love the opportunity to support your family — please feel free to reach out!

"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!"
