Hello! My name is Radiya and I am a college student studying Biomedical Science. I’m also an avid baker and food enthusiast! I grew up as the youngest sibling for almost thirteen years until my little brother was finally born. Since my older siblings were in college and very busy and both of my parents were employed, I shared responsibilities of taking care of my younger brother since high school. I also have an abundant amount of younger cousins that I would babysit so I’ve grown up around children my whole life and am very comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I have two cats at home so I am experienced with feeding cats, cleaning litters, etc. I don’t have much experience with dogs, but as long as they gets to know me and are relatively calm, I don’t mind being in the company of any dogs!
Hi, I’m Payton! I work in higher education and help coach the UW dance & cheer team. I have a deep passion for childhood development and learning, particularly the ways that daily actions contribute to this, as evident by both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. The way babysitting fits into this is so much fun. Some of my favorite things are getting outdoors, crafting, playing alongside children, and helping kids learn. I have babysat regularly over the past 7 years, but have been babysitting, tutoring, and teaching dance since high school.
“Payton is awesome--on time, kind, and the kids love her.”
Hi! My name is Jemma. I work full time in event management but babysat all throughout college as you’ll see on my profile reviews! I’m looking for evening, weekend, and holiday babysitting opportunities. I am fully vaccinated from COVID and will happily follow your family’s lead on safety preferences. I enjoy entertaining children via storytelling, outdoor games, and engaging with their current interest! Please reach out if you have any questions
Nice to meet you families! My name is Melissa and I have been working as a caregiver for the last 8+ years. I truly enjoy the company of children and nurture their artistic side. A little bit more about me. I have a background on Architecture and Graphic Design. I love art & crafts, and doing these projects with kiddos is fun (except for the mess). I have a lot of experience with kids between 2-8y/o and experience with babies from 3 months-18 months. I’m excited to be part of your crew of back up childcare!!!
“Melissa was great with our 10 month old he was very happy! They played and she helped him with nap time! Thank you Melissa!”
Hi! My name is Jarmaine, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington with a BA in Political Science. I am a very compassionate, thoughtful, and intentional caregiver. It brings me joy to be able to help parents out by giving their kids some extra love and attention. Kids have a great imagination and sense of adventure that remind me to have fun in life! I have consistently cared for and built relationships with kids from the ages of 1 - 10. As a babysitter, I will be reliable and communicative. Currently, I am taking this time post grad to get involved in my community. Babysitting gives me the flexibility to pursue my passions without the pressure to get a 9-5 right after graduation. I also love furry babies! From small to large dogs, I love and have experience with a range of breeds. Whether it be playing, walking, feeding, or teaching a new trick I am the person to call. Currently, I don't have any experience with cats, but I am willing to learn. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and help however I can!

"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!"
