Renn $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a (current) mental health therapist and experienced nanny looking for time-limited gigs (like vacations) or evening & weekend opportunities, including nannying/babysitting, house sitting, household management, travel nannying, pet sitting or other related tasks. I was a long-term nanny for families in the Seattle area from 2[removed] and 2018-2022. I also have experience with household management and organization/systems implementation to help households run smoothly, as well as ample experience with pet sitting. I have a 10 year old doodle myself who is the sweetest pup you’ll ever meet! I have also nannied for 3 kids for a week while their parents went on vacation, and we had a blast! I am a mental health therapist by day, with afternoons/evenings and weekends available. To be transparent, my long-distance partner and I are looking to relocate in the next year, and we want to save some extra funds to ease the move & extend time off together. I could add more therapy clients, however, I quite enjoy nannying (and other related jobs) and it would be a lovely change of pace. If you’re looking for a long-term person, I won’t be the best fit. But if you need someone to watch your pets on vacation, household organizing, weekend babysitting or vacation coverage, I am great at what I do and will provide a fun, safe, and interactive experience for anyone in my care.

Anthea $25 per hour for 1 child

I LOVE being with children! Growing up in a huge family, I've always been surrounded by kids, so it's been a pretty easy task to take care of them. I started babysitting when I was 11, and then gradually it turned into a regular thing. I have been a part-time nanny, and now that I'm a full time Esthetician, I pick up babysitting shifts and date nights regularly! I baby-sit at least three times a month. I have watched children from the ages of new born to 11 years of age.

Sofia $28 per hour for 1 child

I have always enjoyed working with children. After finishing my degree in Psychology in 2021, I had the opportunity to travel to Brazil to work with the United Nations on one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (Quality Education) for 2 months, where I taught Spanish and organized educational activities for children. My experience in childcare has been truly vocational and inspiring for me. I cared for a boy for six months, from 1. 5 years old until he turned 2. Then, I took care of a second child from 9 months until he was 2. 5 years old. Currently, I am taking care of a little girl since she was 4 months and she is now 2 years old! I enjoy helping children with their emotional growth and daily routines, while fostering a safe environment where they can explore and play.

Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Hi there! My name is Natalie and I was a babysitter in high school for 3 years. I babysat a little boy from age 2-5 years old over the course of high school. After graduating from Holy Names Academy, I finished my bachelors degree at Bellevue College. I currently work at a real estate office and would love the opportunity to nanny on the weekends and Friday nights! I love children and really enjoy being a reliable resource for families who are looking for childcare. If you have any questions or want to learn more about me, please feel free to reach out!

Natalie is the best! My 2 little boys loved spending NYE with Natalie. She made the night so fun for them with smores and celebrations. I highly recommend! My boys keep asking when she can come over again. Thanks Natalie!!

A little about me: I've been in Seattle for 3 years, I have a bachelor and masters degree and have worked for many prestigious companies including Disney, Paramount, and Expedia and a variety of lovely nonprofits. I have 20 years of childcare experience, starting with my three younger siblings (spanning 2-18 years younger than me) and babysitting for my mom's nurse friends all through high school and college. Even though I've been in the corporate world for the past decade, I've always made time to help out with my friends' kids. Throughout 2025, I have nannied for a variety of families from 6 weeks to 8 years old. I'm 34, married, CPR and first aid certified (renewed this year), have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and am a non-smoker. I'm also super comfortable with pets of any kind. Aside from nannying, i own a successful wedding and event planning business focused on sustainable and inclusive events.

Nicole has been super great with our 5.5 month old baby. She is calm, collected and has been easy to work with.

"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!"
