Hi! I'm Nobuhle, 27. I am looking for parttime & occasional jobs on weekends & weekdays after 2pm till the evening. I am already working full time but looking for more hours in the afternoon! I have been doing childcare for last 6 years, and in the last 2 I have only worked with multiples coincidentally. I was doing a live in position for one year 6 months and have found a passion for childcare. I grew up with a single mother and I know if she could afford childcare I would’ve had a much easier childhood, I believe that it takes a village to raise a child & I want to be apart of your village! I'm a caring, reliable, and energetic nanny who absolutely loves working with kids! My favourite part about childcare is watching the children grow, reach milestones and learning their unique personalities. I'm that sitter who will get on the floor and play, help with homework, handle bedtime without a fuss, and leave the house tidier than I found it. Parents say I'm super patient, responsible, soft spoke and easy to communicate with. Your little ones' safety and happiness are always my #1 priority. I am CPR & first aid trained! With other advanced childcare qualifications! I love creative play, reading stories, outdoor adventures, and making healthy snacks. Happy to help with light meal prep, homework, and bedtime routines. I have had great experiences with families in the past and can provide references and a detailed resume on request. I am open and available for in person and virtual interviews too! I'd love to meet your family! ✨
Hello! My name is Alexa and I am a 2nd grade teacher with 12 years of experience! I love my job and enjoy watching children grow academically, socially and emotionally. I am an energetic, patient person who loves to engage with children in activities that interest them. I enjoy reading stories and spending time engaged in imaginative and creative play alongside children. I am more than willing to use my skills as a teacher to help with school assignments if needed. I work best with children ages 4-11. I am looking forward to getting to know your child!
Hi, my name is Kaleen. I just relocated to Seattle from Florida. I am a mother of a 22 year-old son, a 17 year-old daughter, and my little guy is Jakob who is 5 1/2 years old. I share custody so there are plenty of opportunities for me to pick up shifts when I don't have him. With that being said, I don't have any certifications for childcare training. I have raised three amazing children. I am CPR certified in adults and children. I am a veteran, student, I am kind, patient, loving, dependable, honest, hardworking, and I can assure you that your children will be in great hands. I have been in the healthcare field for 25 years working in hospital settings, emergency settings, in-home caregiver settings, and everything pharmacy related. I have completed one year of nursing school, hoping to finish the last year and work with chemotherapy patients. As a single mom, I understand most people cannot afford $25+ an hour, I can't either, so I am willing to be flexible with payments and rates. I have an SUV, so I can run errands or take your kiddos out to wherever you might love to go! Or maybe some of mine and Jake's favorite places. Please don't hesitate to ask any and all questions.
“Kaleen is was very responsive from beginning to end which I appreciated. This was my first time leaving my 6 month old with a non-family member and I was STRESSED to be honest! She put me at ease and the results speak for themselves. My baby cries and cries when anyone but me holds him and by the time Kaleen was done he was smiling and content. She put in the work to get my son to relax which in turn helped me relax. She was punctual, and comfortable with my animals. Respectful of the home. I would recommend her and would feel confident having her watch my son again.”
espectful, active and charismatic person. my native language is Spanish. I have experience with babies, children and adolescents. I have references from previous jobs who would be happy to give references of mine. I like pets, I know more about cats and dogs. I am a math and Spanish tutor. I like that the children I take care of are always active doing activities like painting, coloring, drawing, doing play doh.
“I hired Angie a little over two years ago, when my son was 4 months old and my daughter was 2. She immediately impressed us with her calm, effective communication style and her natural ability to connect with and guide our children. We quickly increased her hours, and she has since supported our family for approximately 16 hours per week over the past two years. Over this time, she has consistently proven herself to be an exceptional caregiver and problem solver—proactive, hardworking, and often one step ahead of what our family needs, frequently resolving challenges before we even notice them. Angie is incredibly capable, deeply reliable, and truly trustworthy. We see her as part of our family and trust her completely.”
Hi! My name is Luwam. I’m a caring and dependable caregiver with hands-on experience from raising my four children. I truly believe children learn and grow best when they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and that is the kind of environment I always strive to create. I have completed a certificate in Early Childhood Education and have a genuine passion for helping children explore, discover, and reach their full developmental potential. I am patient, responsible, and committed to supporting families by providing attentive, nurturing, and reliable care. I am also certified as a school volunteer and chaperone, which has given me additional experience supervising children during school activities, field trips, and group events. I currently work with children with special needs as an assistant, and I am always willing to learn more so I can better support every child’s unique needs.

"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!"
