Yenethun $30 per hour for 1 child

About Me Hello! I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible caregiver who enjoys helping families and making their lives easier. I offer childcare, senior care, and household assistance, and I take pride in providing a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment. I am also a mother of two children whom I raised on my own. This experience has given me valuable firsthand knowledge of caring for children, managing a household, and supporting their growth and development as a single parent. My children are now grown: one is in college, and the other is in high school. I understand how important it is for parents to find someone they can trust with their children. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for. In addition to childcare, I have experience as a professional driver and can assist with transportation, errands, meal preparation, and household tasks. I also have experience caring for seniors and understand the importance of treating older adults with kindness, dignity, and respect. Whether you need help caring for your children, supporting an older family member, preparing meals, or keeping your household organized, I would be happy to help. My goal is to give families peace of mind by being reliable, compassionate, and helpful.

Luwam $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Retsil, WA

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.

Heather $21 per hour for 1 child

With a solid foundation in caregiving, I am a third-year nursing student at Seattle University with plans to specialize in pediatrics due to my passion for working with children. I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience through babysitting kids from 5 months to 12 years old, completing a geriatric clinical, and volunteering at animal shelters. My time in Girl Scouts honed my leadership and caregiving skills, while my love for animals shows through caring for pets like cats, snakes, and even chickens. My rescue dog Mango, who I’ve had since childhood, reflects my lifelong commitment to care and compassion. Additionally, I have a passion for cooking, particularly baking, which I love to share with the families I work with, creating fun and delicious treats.

Ellen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Anders, and I’m a passionate, reliable caregiver with a background in child development and creative enrichment. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Washington, where I focused my studies on child development. I have been a full-time nanny and currently help run an arts-based after-school program in North Seattle that supports kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as those navigating complex home situations. In addition to that work, I volunteer each summer as a camp counselor at Camp Erin, a bereavement camp for children and teens. Through these experiences, I’ve gained deep insight into supporting kids and teens as they process big emotions with compassion and care. I'm especially committed to creating inclusive, affirming environments for children of all identities and abilities. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny and have been babysitting for families for the past 15 years. I love incorporating engaging arts and crafts projects, Cooking projects, and imaginative play into my time with kids—activities that spark creativity and confidence. I bring warmth, patience, and a calm presence to every home I work in, and I always strive to meet kids where they are with kindness and respect. I look forward to connecting with a family that values a thoughtful, nurturing caregiver who encourages kids to explore, express, and get imaginative!

"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!"
