Bruna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hiiiii! My name is Bruna, and I am a dedicated, responsible, and compassionate childcare provider with extensive experience caring for children of different ages, abilities, and needs. I am truly passionate about supporting children’s development and creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where they can thrive. I worked for two years at a school with children ages 6 to 14, supporting them primarily with reading, literature, and educational activities. In addition, I have hands-on experience with younger children, including caring for one-year-old twin babies for five months, where I was responsible for feeding, diaper changes, nap routines, and daily care. I also have strong experience working with children with special needs. I cared for a girl with cerebral palsy for one year, providing attentive, individualized, and compassionate support. I have also cared for a 6-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, including overnight care, ensuring their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Currently, I work with a non-verbal child with level 3 autism, which has strengthened my skills in patience, routine-based care, alternative communication, and emotional regulation. I am highly adaptable and comfortable tailoring my care to each child’s unique needs while maintaining clear communication and trust with families. I take my role very seriously and always strive to provide high-quality care in a loving, calm, and supportive environment. Building strong relationships with both children and parents is a priority for me, and I am fully committed to being a reliable and positive presence in each child’s life. plussss: I love animals 🐶🐱🐹🐷

Abby 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m currently working as a medical assistant and would love to hang out with your kids! I am energetic, love the outdoors, and have been babysitting for about 13 years. I prefer playing games outside or doing crafts/baking/etc inside than screen time with the kiddos but am flexible and go with the flow. I am a recent college grad and can help with homework or projects too. Let me know if you have any questions!

Abby is so fun! She works really well with kids of any ages and they all love her. She’s baby sat all of my kids (8mo, 5, 8) and they all seem to like her which is hard to come by. I also love that she’s in the medical field because it gives that added confidence that she can handle anything, which as an anxious mama, is huge. She’s reliable, responsible, and quick to answer text messages. My husband and I couldn’t recommend her more.

Remi 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Edmonds, WA

Hi families! My name is Remi, and I am an enthusiastic childcare professional with over five years of experience. I am currently a student at the University of Washington and work as both a substitute teacher and nanny. I began my journey in childcare at a center where I worked with all age groups, from infants to school-age children. I later became a lead teacher of a toddler classroom and transitioned to leading a preschool classroom at another center. I hold an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education as well as the following certifications: Certificate in State Early Childhood Education and Certificate of Specialization in State Short Early Childhood Education - General. Other relevant certifications include First Aid, Pediatric and Adult CPR US, and Food Handler Permit. I am deeply passionate about fostering diversity and creating inclusive, mindful environments for children. I strive to promote culturally sensitive practices and take the time to learn about the families I work with to better meet their needs. Working with children has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love being part of their growth and development, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

I highly recommend Remi! She has been an incredible support to our family, especially during the early days when my baby was a newborn. Whether it was during the day or late at night, Remi was always there, providing the care and help I needed. Her experience and confidence in handling babies are truly remarkable. She knows exactly how to calm, comfort, and care for little ones, even in the most challenging moments. Her calm demeanor and nurturing personality made a world of difference for me as a new parent. Remi is dependable, attentive, and always follows instructions carefully. She also offered helpful advice based on her experience, which was reassuring. Knowing that my baby was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to rest and focus when I needed to. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and experienced, Remi is the perfect choice. I would not hesitate to hire her again—she’s truly exceptional!

$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Edmonds, WA

I grew up in an in-home childcare that my mother ran for about 12 years. I have four younger siblings as well. I started babysitting at 15 for the neighbors and by the time I was 19 I was doing overnights with a 3 month old baby girl, a two year old and ten year old. It was a lot but we did it! I’ve had a few other families over the years but it’s been some time as I am now a hairstylist and have worked in restaurants for the last 10-13 years. I am currently 37 years old and have my own 10 month old little boy who will be with me most of the time. He’s a very good, smart little guy and loves big kids. He has lots of older cousins he loves to play with. If you’re worried about it being too much for me to handle, please don’t. I am with him all day every day, we like to go outside and do things if you are comfortable with that. I am great with children.
