Hello, I’m Rebekah 😊 I have almost 10 years of experience working with children in various settings. When I was in high school I taught dance to 3-10 year olds and had a consistent babysitting job. My undergraduate degree is in Elementary Education. I have worked in several formal and informal educational settings (day camps/overnight camps/after school programs/childcare centers). A couple of years ago I moved to Seattle and am now working full time as an administrative assistant. I’m looking for an occasional - to part time babysitting position. Some of my favorite movements working with kids include making crafts, exploring nature, fun science experiments and playing card games. I am currently only certified for Adult CPR in addition to general first aid. I have received Infant child CPR certifications in the past. After graduating college I received my preliminary teaching license. However, at the time I went to work in outdoor education settings. Due to this, my teaching license expired around 3 years ago. I have experience working with kids in Montessori settings. Also, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats. Percy and Hercules are my cats and I am the main sitter for my sister’s two dogs.
Hi! My name is Karol Palacios. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have a degree in Early Childhood Education, along with 20+ years of experience providing exceptional care to children of all ages. I’m a responsible, reliable, hardworking, and energetic person who loves staying active and creating fun, engaging activities for children. I also enjoy teaching Spanish and incorporating it naturally into everyday activities. I’m: • Fully vaccinated • CPR & First Aid trained • Experienced with children for 20+ years • Bilingual in English & Spanish • Responsible, caring, and dependable I work full-time, but I’m currently looking to pick up some extra babysitting hours. I’m available weekdays after 5:00 PM, except Mondays and Thursdays, and I’m available all day on weekends. I’m also happy to help with date nights, evenings, or occasional babysitting. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and help provide your little ones with safe, fun, and loving care! 😊
Hi I'm Christin, I am passionate about creating a nurturing and creative environment. During the day/week I am a Program Supervisor/Director for a center here in Seattle. I love to spend any extra time I can working one on one with your little ones!
“Christin is very professional and kind. My son thrived and enjoyed Christin’s company, I would gladlt recommed her to anyone looking for baby sitting or nanny”
Hello! I recently moved back to Washington after 13 years of living in Utah and am working as a paraeducator in the Renton School District. I graduated with a BS in health education and promotion from Utah State University in December and am CPR/First Aid Certified. I have experience working in childcare facilities with infants, toddlers, and preschool students as well as experience in an elementary school in Utah as an educational support professional. I am passionate about childhood and health education and love to explore different ways of staying active both indoors and out. I have grown up caring for a range of pets and am a huge animal person!
“Tabitha is a great sitter! I have hired her twice and my 7 year old is excited to have her continue to babysit. She’s friendly, energetic and engaged with my child. Tabitha is responsive with scheduling, arrives on time, and great with communication. ”
Nanny with many years of varied experience available for one child (age 3+). I genuinely enjoy talking with kids and standing back a little to allow them to grow and bloom. I love reading (same book, ten times in a row!), art and literacy. I would be interested in helping a child where primary language in the home is not English (I have TESOL certificate). Zero interest in screen time, for myself or for the child. I enjoy physical activity and being outdoors. Excellent companion to any child who might benefit from occasional hours of one-on-one attention during periods of transition or overwhelm. Thank you!
