Booked by 36 families in Vashon, WA

Hi - My name is Anna and I am a preschool teacher for 3-5 year olds. As a parent, myself, I know what it's like to search for a babysitter. As a teacher, mom, and caregiver I love being with children. I have over 20 plus years of experience working kids, mostly 3-5 year olds. Presently I work at a special education preschool in a inclusive classroom where children of all abilities and backgrounds are present. I have been a caretaker for my family and try to help where I can. I am looking to make extra income this summer for our summer trips and am a great person for last minute sitter options. I am very flexible and can help with pretty much anything you need.

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! ”

Booked by 5 families in Vashon, WA

Hi! I’m Amber and I’m a teacher that’s looking to help out families after school and on weekends! I’m interested in providing childcare, pet care, and/or household services! I’ve been teaching for the last 7 years in public schools. Prior to teaching I worked in childcare running the infant classroom and floating amongst the toddler-age classrooms. I also have experience working with children in special education so I feel very comfortable working with all ages and ability levels! Both my educational and work background almost exclusively revolve around children and have allowed me to develop an excellent set of knowledge and personable skills for working with kids. I feel very comfortable and confident caring for all ages!

“Amber is fantastic. She’s communicative, prompt, and easy to work with. She’s flexible and has tons of practical experience working with children. The kids had a great time with her and want her back soon! ”

Booked by 4 families in Vashon, WA

Hi!, I’m Maryam, and I have over five years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. My mother owns a daycare center, where I have spent years helping and building strong skills in childcare, from infants to school aged kids. These experiences have given me a deep passion for creating safe, loving, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. I am a caring, energetic, and patient person who loves being active and creative with kids whether that means playing games, helping with schoolwork, or encouraging them through arts, crafts, and outdoor activities. I take pride in nurturing children while also supporting their development and independence. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with light housework, organizing, and running errands. I am also trained in CPR and first aid, ensuring I can respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. My love for children goes beyond caregiving I truly enjoy being part of their growth journey and forming positive, trusting relationships with families. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, experience, and passion for childcare into a supportive and nurturing home environment.

“Maryam has been an amazing sitter for my daughter. She's extremely reliable, communicates often and clearly, and my daughter loves playing with her. Absolutely would recommend.”

"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!"
