Leila $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Leila, a student at the University of Washington with several years of experience working with children. In high school, I completed a 3-year childcare career pathway program where I worked closely with kids of different ages through activities, learning, and care. I also have hands-on experience caring for my two infant nieces and younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable with routines, playtime, meals, and helping children feel safe and supported. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like crafts, games, reading, and outdoor play. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and create a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I have two ragdoll cats of my own, and I am very comfortable around pets!

Leslie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter who genuinely loves children. I’m currently a UW finance student, and I grew up helping care for my two younger sisters—especially my youngest sister, who I helped raise from birth through age five with a 14-year age gap. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with infants and young children and familiar with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and bedtime. In addition to family experience, I have professional babysitting experience for a neighbor and have cared for children of different ages. I’ve also had a house dog my entire life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very active, enjoy playing sports and keeping kids engaged, and I’m always happy to help with homework. I can also assist with light household cleaning and keeping things organized. I’m dependable, attentive, and bring a positive, upbeat attitude to every family I work with!

Selah $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 22 years old and was born and raised in the central Seattle area. I’ve been working in childcare for the past four years, and it’s truly something I care deeply about. Supporting children as they learn, grow, and develop their own unique personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. My passion has always been caring for children, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and valued. I love building meaningful connections not only with the kids I care for, but also with their families. I’m excited for the opportunity to get to know you and your family, and I look forward to becoming a trusted and positive part of your lives.

$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Elsa, and I’m Hispanic with a lifelong love for caring for children. Since my early teens, I’ve helped my grandmother care for many little ones—family, friends, and neighbors—gaining experience with diaper changes, feedings, and playtime. I recently had the joy of babysitting a 2-year-old boy while his mom worked from home. My responsibilities included diaper changes, preparing simple meals, light housekeeping, and playtime. I became very close to him, watching him grow from crawling to walking independently after physical therapy—it was truly a special experience. We’d go outside on sunny days with his little car, play with his blue ball and blocks, and wind down together with his favorite shows before naps. I also accompanied his mom on several doctor’s visits, helping out wherever I could. I’ve also cared for a 1-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy. We’d often take walks to the nearby park where the older boy loved playing hide-and-seek. I bottle-fed the baby girl, rocked her to sleep, and made sure both children felt safe and cared for while her mom did her long nurse shifts. In addition to babysitting, I help my mom raise my energetic 1.5-year-old baby brother. He’s always on the move, loves to climb, dance to music, and pull me by the hand to play with his cars. Taking care of him has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to manage the unexpected—which, with toddlers, happens often! I genuinely love being around children and form strong bonds with every child I care for. I’m confident in my ability to keep your little ones safe, entertained, and nurtured. Thank you for considering me! We can negotiate hourly rate :)

"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!"
