Booked by 2 families in Port Orchard, WA

Hi! I’m Fatima, a student at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business, and I genuinely love working with children. As the oldest in my family, I naturally grew up helping care for younger siblings and relatives, and I’ve been babysitting children of all ages, from newborns to preteens since I was 12 years old. I love creating a warm, safe, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, baking treats, or simply having fun together, I always try to make sure children feel supported, happy, and cared for. I also understand how important trust and communication are for parents, and I always strive to be someone families can truly rely on. In past nannying and babysitting experiences, I’ve helped with school pick-ups and drop-offs, tutoring, meal prep, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and keeping busy schedules organized. More than anything, I love building genuine connections with the families I work with and becoming a positive and dependable presence in children’s lives. Families often describe me as patient, caring, responsible, and energetic, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and support your little ones!

“Fatima was so kind to my son. She played games with him and fed him dinner while I was away for several hours. She communicated regularly via text. I also interviewed her by phone and found her to be lovely. I would hire her again and recommend her services. ”

Susan $23 per hour for 1 child

I’m a pharmacist by profession, but I’ve always had a love for caring for others, especially children! I spent many years babysitting throughout high school and college, caring for children of all ages. I enjoy helping older kids with homework and tutoring, while encouraging younger children to explore their creativity, play, and have fun. My background in pharmacy has helped me develop strong attention to detail, patience, responsibility, and a caring, safety-conscious approach. I’m dependable, nurturing, and enjoy creating a positive environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also a big animal lover and proud dog mom to my goldendoodle, Piper! I love dogs and am happy to help with pet care as well. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained, helping with homework, caring for pets, or lending a hand around the house, I love being someone families can count on!

Kylie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I go by Elliot and I use they/them pronouns! I am a nanny who got their start at an early learning school as a lead toddler teacher. I wanted to be able to provide more one on one care and I have since switched to nannying and I am currently training to become a postpartum doula. I love to make arts and crafts with the little ones and I don’t do any screen time. Outside here is so beautiful and I try to spend as much time as possible, walks and just soaks in the great grey overcast skies are my favorite.

Hello! My name is Ella and I am a recent college graduate interested in working with kids!

"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!"
