Selah $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 22 years old and was born and raised in the central Seattle area. I’ve been working in childcare for the past four years, and it’s truly something I care deeply about. Supporting children as they learn, grow, and develop their own unique personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. My passion has always been caring for children, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and valued. I love building meaningful connections not only with the kids I care for, but also with their families. I’m excited for the opportunity to get to know you and your family, and I look forward to becoming a trusted and positive part of your lives.

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!

Booked by 5 families in Retsil, WA

Hello, my name is Kristina! I am a 24 year old professional nanny and piano teacher. I have a DTA in Music and a real estate license. My qualifications include a CPR certification, specialized Child Development training, and a food handler permit. I offer extensive childcare experience and excel in providing comprehensive household services. These include pet care, laundry, meal preparation, homework assistance, efficient errand management, and facilitating transportation for children's activities. Rest assured, my genuine enthusiasm for working with children and pets translates into top-notch care and support you can count on. My background entails a range of impactful roles, including serving as a kids' choir director, a summer camp leader, and a piano instructor catering to both kids and adults. In addition, I have a notable tenure as a preschool teacher at UCIC. My experience extends to being entrusted as a nanny for multiple families, where I've adeptly cared for babies, toddlers, kids, teens and special needs children. My responsibilities have also included skillfully managing households with children and pets during parents' business trips. Driven by an authentic passion for nurturing children's growth and well-being, I'm dedicated to making a positive impact on all the families I serve.

Kristina is incredible. I was so beyond stressed to leave my 2 year old daughter to go to work for the first time and Kristina was so good with her it put me totally at ease. She is honest, thoughtful, kind, compassionate and trustworthy. I would recommend her without any hesitation. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found her and know my daughter is taken care of while I’m at work.
