Booked by 6 families in Indianola, WA

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!

Inaye was so bright and cheery! She was great with my autistic son! I would highly recommend her for anyone and especially for kids with special needs. Thank you Inaye!

Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m 29 with about 15 years of childcare experience spanning all ages. I’m a recent transplant to Seattle - originally from Chicago, but spent the last three years living on the Big Island of Hawaii. I usually work full time in marketing, but right now am on the hunt for my next role - which opens up my daytime availability for childcare! I’ve worked with countless families, from nannying for vacationing families in Hawaii to spending 5 years with a Chicago family as their several times a week babysitter. I love to read, travel, and hike - please let me know if you’d like to chat further!

Easy going, playful and engaged effortlessly with my 6/4 year olds. Highly recommend.

Booked by 4 families in Indianola, WA

Hi, I’m Ashley! Im a recent grad school graduate with a flexible schedule and availability during the work week and most weekends. I’ve babysat all throughout my life and love working with kids. I have tutored in math, history and science in the past, as well. I’m very patient, kind, easygoing, organized, and detail oriented so I will be able to provide your child with the care they need while I’m with them. I love animals so I can also help look after any pets as well. I love to cook and bake, so I can make healthy, delicious meals for your child if need be!

Ashley is a lovely person - she was very kind when babysitting a sick kid staying home from school, and made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing.I would love to work with her again!

Booked by 13 families in Indianola, WA

Hey guys! My name is Laura, I'm 28 years old, I have a law degree from Brazil and I currently provide child and pet care in Seattle. In my home country, I worked with children aged 0 to 14 (several at the same time!) in a playground, as a monitor, and I also provided care for my younger sister for several years (she is currently 9 years old!) . In Seattle, I have extensive experience caring for infants (including twins!) and toddlers. In addition to changing diapers, offering bottles and healthy foods and lots of affection and love, I also have experience with food introduction, games for milestone development and simple sign languages ​​for infant communication. I also love listening to music, entertaining and exercising the imagination of children of all ages! I am also available to clean areas related to children and I have good experience with this. Finally, I have lived with pets my entire life and can act as a sitter for them with all the affection and happiness that your pet deserves.

Laura was wonderful with our 3 year old. He was having a very hard time with us leaving and she was calm, sweet, and handled it so well. She texted us soon after we left, letting us know that everything was going well. She was also on time and very communicative. We would love to work with her again soon!

Booked by 3 families in Indianola, WA

Hello! My name is Camilia, I've been working in childcare for 7+ years as a nanny, tutor, and camp counselor. I have worked with kids ages 4-13+ including children on the spectrum and with ADHD. I love to play with kids through arts and crafts, educational games, or outdoors activities. As a nanny, my responsibilities included meal prep, bath time, grocery shopping, morning/bedtime routine, homework help, and extracurricular activities.

Camilia was great with our 2 kids (5 and 3). Would definitely hire her again!
