I spent my freshmen and Sophomore year (2[removed]) at college working with preschool English language learners. From 2015 to 2018 I worked at Green Tree Early Education center in Downtown Seattle. After graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Early Education, I went for a Masters in Computer Science from Northeastern University. During my corporate career, I worked EST which allowed me to be an afterschool nanny/manny starting during the pandemic. I have worked with 7 different families and my undergraduate education was focused on infants and toddlers. Most of my experience is in transitional care / mothers helper while the families are on a waitlist for childcare centers. However my most recent experience was as a nanny/manny for two boys with Autism Spectrum disorder. I have an outdated first aid and CPR certification but I am almost certain there has not been any significant changes since 2017. I am comfortable around pets
“Brian responded to my post looking for a last minute sitter for my 3 kids (11, 8, 4) when our regular sitter cancelled. He arrived 10 mins early to get settled, and immediately engaged with my 11 year old. He had a creative dinner idea for the kids, even got our 4yo to eat a lot, and I came home to happy kids who couldn’t wait to tell me about all the fun they had. He even got my 4yo to play with him, and she’s usually very hesitant towards new people. He followed her multi-step bedtime routine successfully too. Full disclosure: Brian is my coworker’s husband, so I knew and had met him before hiring him. After rave reviews from my kids, I will definitely be hiring him again.”
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! ”
Hi there my name is Kim and I live in West Seattle area. I am currently a Kindergarten teacher in the Renton School District. I have BA of Interdisciplinary Studies, a MA in Education and teaching certificates for the states of TX, CA and Washington. I relocated to Seattle from Texas where I taught Pre Kindergarten in a public school as a certified teacher for 5 years. I also taught PreK in California and worked at various schools in Orange County, California as a substitute teacher. Other experience includes Kinder Care preschool teacher where I worked with 2 year olds and infants, and part time babysitting over the years for families with kiddos of all ages especially infants. As a certified teacher I have many hours of training and experience using positive discipline focused on redirection and respecting relationships. I have many fur babies myself so pets are a plus. I look forward to meeting you.
