Lani $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Hi there! My name is Lani and I am offering child care services. I love working with children and helping them to learn and grow. I am active, creative, and enjoy the outdoors. Over the past 5 years, I have worked as a pediatric speech language pathologist. This has given me the opportunity to work with children of a variety of ages and backgrounds. Additional experience with children includes working as a child care assistant at a daycare, helping families and children have a fun and safe time on attractions at Walt Disney World while working as a Disney college program intern, and volunteering as a camp counselor at a camp for children battling life threatening or disabling medical conditions. I am First Aid/CPR certified and have completed the American Red Cross Advanced Child Care Training. I also have a master’s degree in speech language pathology and my schooling included coursework in child development.

Hannah $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Hello! I babysat with an agency through most of college. My assignments ranged between ages 14 months to 9 years. I have the most experience with ages 18 months to 4 years, but I love babies and would love to keep building my skills with infants. In high school, I occasionally babysat an infant, toddler, and preschooler over the course of about two years. I really enjoy spending time with little ones and getting to help them develop their skills. I currently work as a case manager for foster youth and I'm looking to pick up occasional evening shifts to help me through grad school.

Talles $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Talles, and I’m 28 years old with a college degree. I live and work in Bellevue, WA. My work hours are from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, so I’m available for babysitting in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’m a non-smoker, pet-friendly, and fully vaccinated for your peace of mind. I’m known for being calm, observant, independent, and enthusiastic. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love engaging them through cooking, arts and crafts, nature walks, and helping them find compatible friends and playdates. My Experience: Infants (0 to 2 years): This is the age group I’ve been working with the most recently! I’ve gained solid experience babysitting infants and have also worked as a nanny before starting my current job. I have excellent references available upon request. Toddlers and Older Children (3+ years): • I was a nanny for a toddler until he turned 6 years old. • I also worked as a camp counselor last summer for 3 months, taking care of kids aged 4 to 13 in different age groups. This included everything from morning routines to bedtime — a truly rewarding experience that taught me a lot! • At camp, I completed CPR/First Aid (Red Cross certified) and lifeguard training. I’m ideally looking for babysitting jobs after work hours and for date nights. I would love the opportunity to support your family — please feel free to reach out!

Amelia $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Hi! My name is Amelia, and I’m a graduate student at the University of Washington who loves working with kids and helping families. With years of experience, I know how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children of all ages. In addition to childcare and tutoring, I can assist with household chores, cooking, organizing, even pet sitting. I’m happy to help make your home life a little easier while ensuring your children are engaged, happy, and well cared for.

"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!"
