Hello! I am a student in the honors program at the University of Washington in Seattle. I have my drivers license and I am a very responsible driver. I am very creative and I love reading, playing games, doing art, and singing with the kids I babysit for! I speak English and Spanish and I am learning Mandarin. I have two younger sisters who I love and I have experience babysitting children ages 6 months to 14 years old. I am good at problem solving and hope to create a safe and grounded environment for your children. I like to have fun and I have a lot of energy but I also love to be cozy and chill depending on the needs of every family. I love animals and I have experience dog sitting and cat sitting. Let me know if I sound like a good fit for your family!
Took a break from babysitting but looking for extra income again! I have 9+ years of experience working with kids! I babysat as my main income thru college and was a snowboard instructor for ages 4-7! I love to hangout with kids and I can promise I won’t sit on my phone the whole time like some sitters… I love to play & follow the kids lead in what we do! Happy to answer any questions about myself!!
Hello! Since I used at work at a daycare and have been babysitting for over 10+ years, I have seen it all! I am able to handle sick kids, kids who have mental and physical disabilities, and anything most anything else that might happen while I babysit. I love dogs and cats (I have 2)! Also, I have my tutor certification and am fluent in Amharic. Please contact me if you have any questions! I look forward to working with you!
“Afomia is a great caregiver, she was wonderful to our 17 month old baby boy. She is professional and has a great sense of people and babies. We will definitely recommend Afomia to anyone who needs help.”
Hi, I’m Lydia Grace! I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a BS degree in Biology and am taking two gap years before attending medical school with a focus in maternal-child health. I am also certified in CPR/First Aid for Adults, Children, and Infants, so safety and reliability are always my absolute top priorities in the household. I have worked as a childcare provider for 4 years, gaining extensive experience across a wide range of age groups and developing the skills to confidently care for up to four children at once. I care deeply about contributing to children’s growth and well-being, and I recognize the vital importance of age-appropriate activities. I love leading kids in engaging crafts, outdoor play, and reading to support their ongoing developmental milestones. Additionally, I have a background in tutoring and am always happy to help with homework, especially in STEM subjects and Spanish. I am also completely comfortable preparing healthy meals for the kids and keeping the house tidy and organized. I look forward to bringing a blend of fun, developmental engagement, and reliable, safety-focused care to your family! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. :)

Hello families, as my contract is coming to an end soon, I am searching for a new part-time role in the mornings. Availability: 20-30 hours weekly, between 6 AM and 12 PM. A little bit about me: - I have a reliable car. - Clean driving record. - CPR certified. - Non-smoker. - Up to date with all vaccines. - Bilingual (Portuguese and English). - Very outdoorsy. I am enthusiastic, energetic, caring, and patient. I am also very punctual and love pets. North Seattle is preferable, but I’m happy to travel further for the right fit. If you’d like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you!
