Hey everyone! I’m a mom who genuinely loves helping families however I can. I’m also a certified pediatric sleep consultant — so if your little one is struggling with sleep, feel free to ask! I also run a local Facebook group (Seattle Play Dates for ALL) that brings together parents and kids of all ages for connection and community. I’m a mom to a 4-year-old daughter who adores playing with other kiddos, and a 6-year-old autistic son who thrives with parallel play. Unless specifically requested, my little ones stay home with dad when I’m caring for your children. 😉 I’ve been babysitting or helping raise kids since I was 11 years old — having 60+ cousins meant there was always a little one who needed care! Now as a mother myself, my love for children has only grown deeper. I’m a former lifeguard (4 years) and CPR-certified. I’m playful, musical, silly when needed, and great at helping kids feel comfortable and engaged. I’m especially skilled at redirecting, calming, and supporting children who experience separation anxiety. I also have extensive experience with neurodiverse kiddos, including children with sensory processing disorder, PDA (pathological demand avoidance), OCD, ADHD, and other unique neuroprofiles. Supporting special needs toddlers is a huge soft spot of mine, and I absolutely love infants — I miss those newborn snuggles! My caregiving style is play-based, low-demand, and child-led. I believe parents know their children best, and I always respect and accommodate your parenting style and preferences (as long as they align with my own moral and safety standards). I’m a great cook, a fun companion, and I come with a full range of animated voices for bedtime stories. And no infant’s bedtime routine is complete without my famous “bébé massage” to help them drift off to sleep! I believe my pricing is fair, but I also deeply understand how hard and expensive childcare can be. If finances are a concern, please reach out — I’m always open to finding a solution that works for your family. ❤️

I have 5 years of experience working with children in a professional childcare setting. I also have 4 years of experience petsitting dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I grew up with pets and currently have a dog so I am very comfortable working with animals. I enjoy providing care to families, whether that is taking care of children or simply running errands and cleaning around the home. I am bilingual in English and Russian.

Jeannie is very compassionate, kind, and thoughtful! She always gives full attention to any kiddo she is watching and engages in fun, creative play with them. I have full confidence in her care for children - they love her!
