Hi there my name is Kim and I live in West Seattle area. I am currently a Kindergarten teacher in the Renton School District. I have BA of Interdisciplinary Studies, a MA in Education and teaching certificates for the states of TX, CA and Washington. I relocated to Seattle from Texas where I taught Pre Kindergarten in a public school as a certified teacher for 5 years. I also taught PreK in California and worked at various schools in Orange County, California as a substitute teacher. Other experience includes Kinder Care preschool teacher where I worked with 2 year olds and infants, and part time babysitting over the years for families with kiddos of all ages especially infants. As a certified teacher I have many hours of training and experience using positive discipline focused on redirection and respecting relationships. I have many fur babies myself so pets are a plus. I look forward to meeting you.
I'm a retired homemaker who has successfully raised three kids in this area. I live with my husband and 2 small dogs in Bellevue. We have three grandchildren under the age of 12, they live locally and we see them frequently! I love kids, people and pets and I like to help. I have many years experience as a parent, and have experience being a grandparent too. I can sit, tutor, play and cook. I enjoy running errands and I take direction well. Kids like me, and I'm good with babies too. In my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, board games, shopping, walking the dogs and babysitting.
Hey guys! My name is Laura, I'm 28 years old, I have a law degree from Brazil and I currently provide child and pet care in Seattle. In my home country, I worked with children aged 0 to 14 (several at the same time!) in a playground, as a monitor, and I also provided care for my younger sister for several years (she is currently 9 years old!) . In Seattle, I have extensive experience caring for infants (including twins!) and toddlers. In addition to changing diapers, offering bottles and healthy foods and lots of affection and love, I also have experience with food introduction, games for milestone development and simple sign languages for infant communication. I also love listening to music, entertaining and exercising the imagination of children of all ages! I am also available to clean areas related to children and I have good experience with this. Finally, I have lived with pets my entire life and can act as a sitter for them with all the affection and happiness that your pet deserves.
“Laura was wonderful with our 3 year old. He was having a very hard time with us leaving and she was calm, sweet, and handled it so well. She texted us soon after we left, letting us know that everything was going well. She was also on time and very communicative. We would love to work with her again soon!”
Hi family! I’m Diana – an energetic, kind, and experienced nanny and teacher who genuinely loves working with kids of all ages. With over six years of experience in education and childcare, I bring a blend of patience, organization, and a fun-loving attitude to every family I work with. I’m a graduate teacher and have worked with children ranging from 2 months to 6 years old in both classroom and home settings. I started babysitting my niece and nephew. I took care of a wonderful family with three children (now 2, 4, and 6 years old) for two years, helping with everything from morning routines and after-school activities to meals and bedtime. I’m currently caring for a 7-month-old baby, which has further deepened my experience with infants. I love spending time outdoors with children—whether it’s walks, playdates, or playground adventures—and I always try to nurture their creativity through art and craft projects. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and always strive to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for kids to thrive. I’m excited to continue supporting families in my area and would love to connect! Feel free to reach out, Diana
“Diana was prompt, kind, and played lots of arts and crafts etc with my 4yo, and very understanding when we ran a bit late. My daughter had a great time!”
Hello parents! I'm a bilingual nanny (PT/EN) with over eight years of experience providing care for children, from newborns all the way to teenagers! I’m looking for long-term occasional babysitting opportunities, where I can develop a relationship with the family. 😊 I consider myself to be attentive, sensitive, patient, kind and loving with kids. I believe in creating a partnership with the parents I work with to help raise their kids to grow up being the best humans they can: smart, respectful, curious, compassionate and loving, and I do that by creating a safe, nurturing and enriching environment. Additionally, I’m fully covid vaccinated and boosted, have a valid driver’s license, and a clean driving record. I’m also CPR/First Aid Certified. Both resumé and references can be provided upon request!
“Letícia was excellent with our almost two year old and even got him to sleep quicker than we can most nights. I would definitely recommend her and will be happy to have her take care of our child 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!"
