My name is Carolina, and I am 28 years old. I’m a nanny in the Seattle area, and I’m looking for occasional babysitting jobs. Kids have always been a huge part of my life, I have two nephews and a younger sister whom I helped raise and absolutely adore. Outside of my family, I have over six years of experience caring for children of all ages. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and exploring nature, as well as reading, cooking, and photography. I’m happy to drive the kids, I have a valid WA driver’s license and my own car. I’m also willing to prepare meals. Looking forward to hearing from you!
“Carolina was amazing and jumped right in taking care of our 9.5 month old baby girl!”
Hey guys! My name is Laura, I'm 28 years old, I have a law degree from Brazil and I currently provide child and pet care in Seattle. In my home country, I worked with children aged 0 to 14 (several at the same time!) in a playground, as a monitor, and I also provided care for my younger sister for several years (she is currently 9 years old!) . In Seattle, I have extensive experience caring for infants (including twins!) and toddlers. In addition to changing diapers, offering bottles and healthy foods and lots of affection and love, I also have experience with food introduction, games for milestone development and simple sign languages for infant communication. I also love listening to music, entertaining and exercising the imagination of children of all ages! I am also available to clean areas related to children and I have good experience with this. Finally, I have lived with pets my entire life and can act as a sitter for them with all the affection and happiness that your pet deserves.
“Laura was wonderful with our 3 year old. He was having a very hard time with us leaving and she was calm, sweet, and handled it so well. She texted us soon after we left, letting us know that everything was going well. She was also on time and very communicative. We would love to work with her again soon!”
Hello families! I'm Ratshiedano, and I'm thrilled to be working with your family. With my background in childcare and a passion for helping kids thrive, I'm confident in my ability to provide a nurturing and engaging experience for your child."
Hi! 😊 My name is Sandra and I am currently working as an au pair in Edmonds (Seattle). I am looking for babysitting/nanny opportunities in my free time to earn some extra income. I have experience caring for children of different ages through my studies in Early Childhood and Primary Education, as well as school internships and real classroom experience. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, helping them learn, play, and feel safe. A bit about me: • Responsible, caring and patient • Experience with infants and primary school children • Fluent in Spanish and English • Comfortable with routines, homework help, and creative activities • Flexible schedule (evenings and weekends) I would love to support a family that needs occasional babysitting or a regular nanny. References available upon request. Feel free to message me if you think I could be a good fit for your family!
“She is always sweet and always does her best with 3 wild children including an infant. She has came through last minute many times and has stayed later with no complaints. I highly recommend!”
Hello my name is Marley! I went to school for Music Education. I have been working with children for over ten years. I am grateful for each opportunity to learn what makes kids excited about learning, and exploring the natural world. I have been a camp counselor, a private flute teacher, and a music intern in two elementary schools and one middle school. I will be student teaching next fall 2027. I would love to be able to help care for the kids in the community.
“Marley was wonderful with our 4-year-old! She is so patient and really knows how to play with kids — she even brought her own toys, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our daughter had a blast and by the end of the visit they were like best friends; she didn't want Marley to leave! We'd happily book her again.”

"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!"
