Booked by 65 families in Renton, WA

Hello! My name is Radiya and I am a college student studying Biomedical Science. I’m also an avid baker and food enthusiast! I grew up as the youngest sibling for almost thirteen years until my little brother was finally born. Since my older siblings were in college and very busy and both of my parents were employed, I shared responsibilities of taking care of my younger brother since high school. I also have an abundant amount of younger cousins that I would babysit so I’ve grown up around children my whole life and am very comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I have two cats at home so I am experienced with feeding cats, cleaning litters, etc. I don’t have much experience with dogs, but as long as they gets to know me and are relatively calm, I don’t mind being in the company of any dogs!

Good communication on time of arrival. Demonstrated confidence in baby/toddler routines and diapering. Daughter seemed to enjoy having Radiya to play and watch over her.

Hi! I am a nanny and a teacher. And passionate about what I do!! In the past 3 years I worked for several families. I was an au pair for 2 years and provided care for 2 different families, both with 2 kids and a baby. I currently take care of a boy of 18 months old since he was 2 months old. I graduated in pedagogia in Brazil and taught kids from 6 months old to 6 years old. After having babysitting in the USA I have the knowledge and the experience to offer the best care according to the parents needs. I am vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certificated.

Very kind sitter and my step kids had fun with her! She’s quick to respond and reliable.

Nice to meet you families! My name is Melissa and I have been working as a caregiver for the last 8+ years. I truly enjoy the company of children and nurture their artistic side. A little bit more about me. I have a background on Architecture and Graphic Design. I love art & crafts, and doing these projects with kiddos is fun (except for the mess). I have a lot of experience with kids between 2-8y/o and experience with babies from 3 months-18 months. I’m excited to be part of your crew of back up childcare!!!

Melissa was great with our 10 month old he was very happy! They played and she helped him with nap time! Thank you Melissa!

Hi, my name is Helen! I moved to Seattle after high school and completed my college career here. I've worked most of my life with children and I love it. I love how much character their personalities already have and the energy and joy they bring to the table. I've worked personally for families as well as done babysitting for events where childcare is provided; which has given me a chance to watch wide variety of ages. The imagination that children possess is something to behold, nothing is simply ever just a 'toy' but has a whole story to it. That's a little bit about me! I hope to meet you in person soon!

"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!"
