Nico $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Nico! I have over 2 years of professional childcare experience, working with children aged 3 months to 10 years. I also come from a large family with many younger cousins that I have helped care for since I was young. Working in childcare has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I am truly passionate and excited about providing children with quality, compassionate, and fun care. In my free time, I make art with various mediums (jewelry/beads, drawing, sewing, crocheting, photography, and clay), playing video games, hiking and spending time with my 2 wonder kitties and my partner! I am looking forward to meeting you, and providing your family with the quality care you deserve!

Salina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Salina , and I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with families seeking a caring, dependable, and attentive caregiver. As a psychology graduate currently working as a Case Manager in Children’s Crisis Outreach, I support children and families through challenging moments with patience, empathy, and structure—skills that deeply inform how I show up in caregiving roles. My professional background has strengthened my understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and the importance of creating environments where children feel safe, supported, and understood. Alongside my formal training, I’ve built years of hands-on experience caring for children in various settings, allowing me to adapt to different ages, personalities, and family dynamics with ease. What continues to motivate me is the privilege of helping children feel secure while encouraging curiosity, growth, and confidence. I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and age-appropriate engagement, and I’m intentional about creating calm, enriching spaces—whether through creative activities, routine-building, or simply being a steady presence. I would love the opportunity to support your family and contribute positively to your child’s well-being. I’m happy to connect via FaceTime or meet for coffee to discuss your family’s needs and how my experience may be a good fit. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to learning more about your family and exploring how I can best support you. Warmly, Salina

Jo Yee $35 per hour for 1 child

My background includes supporting families with children on consistent routines, balancing the needs of multiple kids, and ensuring safe, engaging days filled with age‑appropriate activities. I’m confident in managing feedings, diaper changes, and maintaining sleep schedules while keeping play areas tidy. I also enjoy preparing healthy meals and supporting household routines, including washing bottles and baby dishes, so parents can relax and enjoy their weekends. Families I’ve worked with value my calm and caring presence, especially during busy moments when infants and toddlers need different kinds of attention at the same time. I’m also comfortable driving around Seattle for outings or errands if needed. I’d love to become a trusted partner in your children’s care and bring a joyful, nurturing energy to your home.

Marcela $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, parents!! My name is Marcela — or as the little ones call me, Cela :) I studied psychology in Brazil and spent five years immersed in childcare there before moving to the US, and for almost three years now I've had the joy of caring for two wonderful local families, watching their babies grow from tiny newborns into happy, curious toddlers. I love imaginative play, art and crafts and exploring the world w/ the little ones - parks, libraries, story times. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely present. I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, comfortable driving and happy to share references from the families I currently work with. I'd love the chance to meet you and your kiddo! 💛
