Booked by 2 families in Renton, 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. ”

Eduarda $31 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Eduarda, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’m currently living in the United States and have experience caring for children of different ages through my au pair journey. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I would describe myself as responsible, patient, energetic, and very loving. I love engaging children with activities like arts and crafts, games, outdoor walks, music, movies, and creative play. I also understand the importance of routines, communication, and making sure parents feel confident and at ease while their children are in my care. Being away from my own family taught me a lot about maturity, adaptability, and empathy, which I bring into my childcare style every day. I always try to build a genuine connection with the families I work with and become someone both parents and children can trust. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the kids, meal/snack preparation, bedtime routines, and keeping children entertained in a positive and attentive way. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and help however I can. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to connecting with you! Best, Eduarda

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!

"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!"
