Hi, I’m Ashley! Im a recent grad school graduate with a flexible schedule and availability during the work week and most weekends. I’ve babysat all throughout my life and love working with kids. I have tutored in math, history and science in the past, as well. I’m very patient, kind, easygoing, organized, and detail oriented so I will be able to provide your child with the care they need while I’m with them. I love animals so I can also help look after any pets as well. I love to cook and bake, so I can make healthy, delicious meals for your child if need be!
“Ashley is a lovely person - she was very kind when babysitting a sick kid staying home from school, and made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing.I would love to work with her again!”
Hi - My name is Christina, I’m 30 years old and I'm currently in school to get a degree in Public Health. Once I complete my degree, I would love to have the title, “child and maternal health advocate”! I started working in child care 10 years ago as a lead teacher in a toddler classroom at a daycare. After a few years there, I moved on to becoming a nanny. I’ve been a nanny to two amazing families since 2016. Im thankful to have held long term positions. While my work week is filled with my current position, I do enjoy babysitting on the side. Im open to one time and occasional babysitting depending on the families needs. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since was 18 years old. My responsibilities as a babysitter have included bed time routines, prepping meals, cleaning up as well as entertaining the children. Naturally, I have a calm demeanor and a nurturing personality. I believe it goes hand in hand while being a caretaker. Although I am unavailable for for a full/part time position, I am open for date nights and such! Please feel free to contact I me. I can also provide my resume. *updated Aug. 2023
“We hired Christina to take care of our 3 year old daughter for the afternoon/evening. She did a wonderful job with Eliana in engaging her, taking her to play at the park, and making sure she got all the steps to her bedtime routine done--always a challenge. She quickly noticed and cleaned up when our daughter almost started painting the wall while I was showing Christina around right after she arrived. She also cleaned up after our daughter had a potty accident. Christina was very professional, arrived early, and has a very calm, patient, and thoughtful demeanor. We highly recommend her to other families, and hope to have the opportunity to hire her again.”

“On time friendly and baby was happy”
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. ❤️
Hello! My name is Sara, I am 22 years old. I’ve spent the last year working with individuals experiencing homelessness. I love taking care of others and I am looking to babysit while I create my next career path. I have experience taking care of children as a daycare teacher assistant for over a year. My responsibilities have included engaging in fun activities, helping with homework, supervising down time, preparing breakfast and lunch. I have a 3 year old tabby named Oliver. I’m comfortable around pets and have experience cat sitting for friends and family. I am CPR certified, non-smoker, fully vaccinated, and have access to reliable transportation.
