Hi! My name is Halima, and I offer childcare services. I recently applied to medical school with the goal of becoming a pediatrician as caring for and supporting children has always been a passion of mine. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, caring for kids of all ages, from infants to older children. As the oldest sibling in my family, I also gained hands-on experience by helping care for my younger siblings. My responsibilities have included meal prep, feeding, diaper changes, playtime, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I’m comfortable managing bedtime and nap time and can follow any routine you already have in place. Beyond babysitting, I’ve worked closely with children in educational settings. I’ve taught reading in an elementary school reading program, volunteered as a coach for a running program, taught at weekend school, led kids through fun science experiments, and tutored students in math. These experiences have strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to understand how different children learn and express themselves. I make sure to arrive on time and prepared, keeping families informed so everything runs smoothly. With each child, I pay attention to what they need and respond in ways that make them feel heard and supported. I take the time to learn their routines, favorite activities, and personalities, and I adjust my approach so they feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m excited to meet your family and would love the opportunity to support you and your little one!

Booked by 1 family in Retsil, WA

Hello my name is Marley! I went to school for Music Education. I have been working with children for over ten years. I am grateful for each opportunity to learn what makes kids excited about learning, and exploring the natural world. I have been a camp counselor, a private flute teacher, and a music intern in two elementary schools and one middle school. I will be student teaching next fall 2027. I would love to be able to help care for the kids in the community.

“Marley was wonderful with our 4-year-old! She is so patient and really knows how to play with kids — she even brought her own toys, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our daughter had a blast and by the end of the visit they were like best friends; she didn't want Marley to leave! We'd happily book her again.”

"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!"
