Reheal 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m passionate about ensuring children are well cared for, and I work at a nonprofit dedicated to helping families experiencing homelessness. In my day job, the team and I teach classes to families and work with children of all ages while supporting parents. This has deepened my commitment to helping families and children thrive. As a babysitter, I create a safe and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I believe families are the pillars of the community, and I’m excited to help your little ones feel happy, supported, and confident!

“Reheal and I became friends when we worked together in the social service field. She is someone I have trusted to babysit my 2 year old daughter with the past, as she is great with children, kind, and responsible. Can’t wait to have her babysit again soon!”

Marcela $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, parents!! My name is Marcela — or as the little ones call me, Cela :) I studied psychology in Brazil and spent five years immersed in childcare there before moving to the US, and for almost three years now I've had the joy of caring for two wonderful local families, watching their babies grow from tiny newborns into happy, curious toddlers. I love imaginative play, art and crafts and exploring the world w/ the little ones - parks, libraries, story times. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely present. I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, comfortable driving and happy to share references from the families I currently work with. I'd love the chance to meet you and your kiddo! 💛

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

espectful, active and charismatic person. my native language is Spanish. I have experience with babies, children and adolescents. I have references from previous jobs who would be happy to give references of mine. I like pets, I know more about cats and dogs. I am a math and Spanish tutor. I like that the children I take care of are always active doing activities like painting, coloring, drawing, doing play doh.

“I hired Angie a little over two years ago, when my son was 4 months old and my daughter was 2. She immediately impressed us with her calm, effective communication style and her natural ability to connect with and guide our children. We quickly increased her hours, and she has since supported our family for approximately 16 hours per week over the past two years. Over this time, she has consistently proven herself to be an exceptional caregiver and problem solver—proactive, hardworking, and often one step ahead of what our family needs, frequently resolving challenges before we even notice them. Angie is incredibly capable, deeply reliable, and truly trustworthy. We see her as part of our family and trust her completely.”

"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!"
