I have been babysitting and working with kids since I turned 13 and started walking to babysitting jobs in my neighborhood. I love going on walks, reading, and doing crafts! I currently work at a general contractor coordinating our high school and college internships. I am looking for occasional nanny jobs.
“Emma was great! On time, engaging with our son, and listened well to instructions for the day. She was responsive and had a rave review from the kiddo when we got home!”
Hi, my name is Helen! I moved to Seattle after high school and completed my college career here. I've worked most of my life with children and I love it. I love how much character their personalities already have and the energy and joy they bring to the table. I've worked personally for families as well as done babysitting for events where childcare is provided; which has given me a chance to watch wide variety of ages. The imagination that children possess is something to behold, nothing is simply ever just a 'toy' but has a whole story to it. That's a little bit about me! I hope to meet you in person soon!
Hello! I have a full time job so at this time I am not accepting bookings from new families during M-F at this time. My name is Jasmine! I’m a Seattle native and a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 6 years of experience in providing exceptional care for children of all ages. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for children of all ages! My approach to childcare is rooted in a strong commitment to safety, education, and emotional support. I believe in fostering a positive and fun atmosphere while also encouraging development through age appropriate activities. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative play, or managing daily routines, I strive to be a reliable and supportive presence in every child’s life. I’m also skilled in handling various aspects of household management, including meal preparation, light housekeeping, and scheduling. My goal is to ensure that parents feel confident and at ease knowing their children are in capable hands. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions or want to know more! I look forward to speaking with you! Thank you so much!
“Jasmine has helped us out a few times with our 4 and 1 year old! She was very sweet and attentive. Our kiddos warmed up to her with ease! Would recommend and have her back, and intend to! ”
Hi, I’m Payton! I work in higher education and help coach the UW dance & cheer team. I have a deep passion for childhood development and learning, particularly the ways that daily actions contribute to this, as evident by both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. The way babysitting fits into this is so much fun. Some of my favorite things are getting outdoors, crafting, playing alongside children, and helping kids learn. I have babysat regularly over the past 7 years, but have been babysitting, tutoring, and teaching dance since high school.
“Payton is awesome--on time, kind, and the kids love her.”

"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."
