Hello ! My name’s Lizzie, and I’m currently studying education at the University of Washington, but I’ve been working with kids for a long time already. I have 5+ years of childcare experience, including infant care all the way up to young adolescents. I'm currently a site manager at an after school program for elementary students from kindergarten to sixth grade. I love what I do and I’d love to work with you to help out with whatever you and your kid(s) need. I'm also more than happy to care for any pets at home as I grew up with dogs myself. I hope you reach out, and thank you in advance for your time.

Booked by 4 families in Mercer Island, 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.”

Booked by 20 families in Mercer Island, WA

Hello there, my name is Lauren and I am a kind, energetic, and reliable caregiver. I just moved to the beautiful city of Seattle in April 2023. Most recently, I worked with an amazing family in Los Angeles to raise their first child from three months to three years old. I had complete responsibility over his eating, sleeping, social, creative, and intellectual well being. I took my role within the family very seriously making sure that each of those pieces gained the attention they deserved for each milestone. In the last 10 years I have had the opportunity to grow with children ranging from infants to young teenagers. I have a well maintained car with a clean driving record if transportation to classes or adventures is needed. I am open to light housework insuring your home is cleaned up from my time. Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile and I would love to hear from you.

“Lauren was great! Booked her only for housekeeping, but she was super thorough! Would book again.”
