Mabel 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old with ages 1 yr up to 12 years old. Additionally, I grew up in a big family taking care of my nieces and nephews since they were babies. I have a full time job as a behavior technician providing ABA therapy for kids with Autism and have worked in this field for the past 5 years with ages ranging from 2 years old to adulthood. I love babysitting and would love more opportunities to do so! Love engaging kiddos in crafts, homework, games, and fun activities.

“Mabel is such a caring and wonderful babysitter! She is so sweet and my 2 kids adore her. She is reliable and always on time and is flexible with her hours. She has great professional experience with kids and our children always look forward to spending time with her. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dependable and experienced babysitter.”

Booked by 1 family in Tracyton, WA

My name is Molly. I live in West Seattle with my fiancée and pets. I am a student at Seattle Central College studying pre-nursing. I have been babysitting part time for the past year while in school and offer services in childcare. I have experiences with children of all ages. I worked as a certified medical assistant for 3 years in urgent care and sports medicine before taking time off to go back to school. My experience in childcare primarily comes from helping take care of my four nieces for the past 16 years. I also volunteered as a camp counselor for a Girl Scouts day camp every summer for 6 years, as well as for a 5th grade trip to Camp Colman. I also have experience with pediatric patients while working as a medical assistant. I am more than happy to implement your routine and parenting techniques while you’re away. I am quite flexible, if you have any questions please reach out!

Barbara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Babi, I've been an au pair twice in Europe, first in Poland and then in Spain, and now I live in Seattle. Caring for kids is something I truly love, and I want to keep doing it. In Poland and Spain I took care of 4, 7, 10 and 12, and each family had a different routine. I learned to adapt quickly, and keep the kids safe and happy. I like having a routine, but I also like to go with the flow and let the kids choose what to play sometimes. My favorite activities are arts and crafts, games, story time, and outdoor play. I love being outside with kids, rain or shine! I'm also comfortable driving kids to activities. I fluent in Italian and Portuguese, and I also speak English and Spanish. I'd love to share a few words in other languages with your kids in a fun and natural way. A little more about me: I'm responsible, punctual, and patient, and I believe open communication avoids misunderstandings. I'd love to meet your family and make your days a little easier!

"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!"
