Hi, I am April and helping families and children is my passion. I am currently a full time Early Head Start Home Visitor for the Puget Sound ESD. Previous to this I was a teacher for Head Start in a blended Special Ed classroom of 3 to 5 year olds. I also worked for Early Head Start as an infant toddler teacher. My work as a Head Start teacher started in 2009. I also have experience as a nanny and have been a supervisor of a childcare center. My experience with children ranges from ages 0 to teens. However, I consider myself an Early childhood professional and 0-5 is who I work with most and feel most confident with. I have experience with children with Autism, Down Syndrom, and a variety of sensory needs. I take pride in working in this field as I believe early childhood education is what builds a successful foundation for learning. I also have a degree in Early Childhood Education. My philosophy with children is based upon them having their social/emotional needs met. When children can feel good about themselves, they are likely to thrive in learning and play. I believe kids are best engaged when they are doing what they love whether that be pretend play, play dough, outdoor play, etc. Getting to know their interests is how I learn to work with them. In addition, I am happy to follow your guidance on their routines as well. I live in Burien. I am available evenings, weekends, and overnights. I am open to housesitting or watching your children while you enjoy a weekend get away. I have a car for transporting children if needed. I also stay to date on my flu and Covid vaccines. I hope to hear from you!

Hi there! So glad you found my page! My name is Sydney. You can call me Syd! I'm a pediatric occupational therapist looking to provide respite to parents of children with disabilities. I know that it can be challenging to find reliable, understanding, and knowledgeable date night sitters for your children and I’m here to help. I am experienced in supporting children with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, PDA, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. Looking forward to connecting. Disclaimer: If I currently provide occupational therapy services to your child, I cannot also provide child care. That would be considered a dual relationship and would violate OT professional ethics codes. Cancellation policy: If a family cancels with me with less than 24 hours notice, I do charge 50% of the agreed upon rate. By booking with me, you agree to these terms.

“Syd was great! She somehow even managed to get my kiddo to sleep!! Truly grateful 🖤”

Hi, My name is Alicia! I've been babysitting for 10 years now and it never feels like work to me because it's always fun! I've babysat kids in all different age groups, from 8 months to 10 years old. My favorite things to do while babysitting are going to the park, coloring, reading books, playing outside games, like tag. Pretty much anything to stay active and have fun.

"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!"
