Hello! My name is Alexa and I am a 2nd grade teacher with 12 years of experience! I love my job and enjoy watching children grow academically, socially and emotionally. I am an energetic, patient person who loves to engage with children in activities that interest them. I enjoy reading stories and spending time engaged in imaginative and creative play alongside children. I am more than willing to use my skills as a teacher to help with school assignments if needed. I work best with children ages 4-11. I am looking forward to getting to know your child!
Hi, I'm Victoria! I'm a mom to a 9-month-old son and have worked for a family helping care for their kids (now ages 3 and 5), whom I've helped care for since they were born. I've been the trusted go-to sitter in my circle for years. I babysat regularly throughout my twenties, all based on word of mouth to friends and new clients alike. I'm most in my element with newborns through age two, and happily watch children up to age 11. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs. I'd like to learn about your expectations and routines in your child's life. I'm CPR and first-aid certified, and I am up to date with all vaccines include 2026 flu and Covid boosters. If you are looking for weekday care, I would bring my son with me - a built in companion for your child! I'm available without him on evenings and weekends. I'd love to chat about what your family needs! I'd love to chat about what your family needs and see if we’re a good match!
Hi! My name is Lonnasia, but I go by Najah. I’m currently enrolled at Bellevue College and have over 6 years of experience working as a medical assistant, primarily with children. I come from a big family, so caring for kids comes naturally to me. I also have experience working with children with special needs. I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy creating a safe and nurturing environment. I look forward to meeting your family!
Hello! I’m passionate about ensuring children are well cared for, and I work at a nonprofit dedicated to helping families experiencing homelessness. In my day job, the team and I teach classes to families and work with children of all ages while supporting parents. This has deepened my commitment to helping families and children thrive. As a babysitter, I create a safe and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I believe families are the pillars of the community, and I’m excited to help your little ones feel happy, supported, and confident!
“Reheal and I became friends when we worked together in the social service field. She is someone I have trusted to babysit my 2 year old daughter with the past, as she is great with children, kind, and responsible. Can’t wait to have her babysit again soon!”
Hi, my name is Kaleen. I just relocated to Seattle from Florida. I am a mother of a 22 year-old son, a 17 year-old daughter, and my little guy is Jakob who is 5 1/2 years old. I share custody so there are plenty of opportunities for me to pick up shifts when I don't have him. With that being said, I don't have any certifications for childcare training. I have raised three amazing children. I am CPR certified in adults and children. I am a veteran, student, I am kind, patient, loving, dependable, honest, hardworking, and I can assure you that your children will be in great hands. I have been in the healthcare field for 25 years working in hospital settings, emergency settings, in-home caregiver settings, and everything pharmacy related. I have completed one year of nursing school, hoping to finish the last year and work with chemotherapy patients. As a single mom, I understand most people cannot afford $25+ an hour, I can't either, so I am willing to be flexible with payments and rates. I have an SUV, so I can run errands or take your kiddos out to wherever you might love to go! Or maybe some of mine and Jake's favorite places. Please don't hesitate to ask any and all questions.
“Kaleen is was very responsive from beginning to end which I appreciated. This was my first time leaving my 6 month old with a non-family member and I was STRESSED to be honest! She put me at ease and the results speak for themselves. My baby cries and cries when anyone but me holds him and by the time Kaleen was done he was smiling and content. She put in the work to get my son to relax which in turn helped me relax. She was punctual, and comfortable with my animals. Respectful of the home. I would recommend her and would feel confident having her watch my son 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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
