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! ”
Hello everyone! My name is Sarra, and I live in Greenwood, Seattle. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Public Health Global Health from the University of Washington (Go Huskies!). I’ve been working as a full-time community navigator. A significant part of my job involves interacting with families and kids to create fun activities and events. I am wanting to work as a babysitter a few times a week with families who need help after school, weekends or date night! I’m musically inclined and believe that music has the power to heal any wound. I’ve always loved children and was the most trusted family member to watch over my little cousins. I have experience working with toddlers, young children, and teenagers aged 3 to 17. I’ve also worked with children on the spectrum. In my experience, I engage children in activities they enjoy the most and provide them with ideas to explore. I go out of my way to find the best activities to keep them occupied, such as learning a new language (I’m multilingual and speak French and Arabic), writing, drawing, or painting. The activities can vary depending on the child’s interests and passions. Some children love reading sessions, while others prefer singing, coloring, and drawing with music on, or simply playing board games like puzzles and interactive Lego construction games! Exploring the outdoors is also a fun activity to do if interested! I can help with homework and tutoring in various subjects, including English, Math, STEM subjects, and many others. I’m also a great cook and make all sorts of sandwiches, meals, and quick snacks that your children will love! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I’d be more than happy to answer them for you.
Hi! 😊 My name is Sandra and I am currently working as an au pair in Edmonds (Seattle). I am looking for babysitting/nanny opportunities in my free time to earn some extra income. I have experience caring for children of different ages through my studies in Early Childhood and Primary Education, as well as school internships and real classroom experience. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, helping them learn, play, and feel safe. A bit about me: • Responsible, caring and patient • Experience with infants and primary school children • Fluent in Spanish and English • Comfortable with routines, homework help, and creative activities • Flexible schedule (evenings and weekends) I would love to support a family that needs occasional babysitting or a regular nanny. References available upon request. Feel free to message me if you think I could be a good fit for your family!
“She is always sweet and always does her best with 3 wild children including an infant. She has came through last minute many times and has stayed later with no complaints. I highly recommend!”
Hi, my name is Victoria. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids for 6 years. My responsibilities have included walking to/from school, easy meal prep, crafts, outside time, and cleaning up. I am also available for household services and I can clean, cook, and tidy up the house. I don’t have any allergies, and I’m comfortable being around pets. I’m responsible, pontual, patient, organized, flexible! * vaccinated COVID and Flu * I’m fluent in Portuguese and English.
“We have worked with Vic for many years and she is exceptional. She is reliable, always on time, promotes active play, and is always a calm and warm presence. Our family adores her. No question, would hire again.”
