I'm a retired homemaker who has successfully raised three kids in this area. I live with my husband and 2 small dogs in Bellevue. We have three grandchildren under the age of 12, they live locally and we see them frequently! I love kids, people and pets and I like to help. I have many years experience as a parent, and have experience being a grandparent too. I can sit, tutor, play and cook. I enjoy running errands and I take direction well. Kids like me, and I'm good with babies too. In my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, board games, shopping, walking the dogs and babysitting.
“Dina was very professional and great with consoling my 3 week old newborn and spending time with my 3 year old. He really loved talking with her and was sad for her to go. It was so nice to have her help!”
I have 8 years of consistent childcare experience, including 3 years as a healthcare assistant at a children’s hospital and a part time nanny for a family of six kids (ages 0-16). I’m responsible, reliable, and promise to keep your kiddos safe and engaged. I’m passionate about getting outdoors and introducing kids to fun, healthy activities. I respect family routines and am ready to adapt to your needs. Looking forward to meeting your family and making life a little easier for you! **late cancellations (within 12 hrs) I still charge half the booking amount**
I spent my freshmen and Sophomore year (2[removed]) at college working with preschool English language learners. From 2015 to 2018 I worked at Green Tree Early Education center in Downtown Seattle. After graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Early Education, I went for a Masters in Computer Science from Northeastern University. During my corporate career, I worked EST which allowed me to be an afterschool nanny/manny starting during the pandemic. I have worked with 7 different families and my undergraduate education was focused on infants and toddlers. Most of my experience is in transitional care / mothers helper while the families are on a waitlist for childcare centers. However my most recent experience was as a nanny/manny for two boys with Autism Spectrum disorder. I have an outdated first aid and CPR certification but I am almost certain there has not been any significant changes since 2017. I am comfortable around pets
“Brian responded to my post looking for a last minute sitter for my 3 kids (11, 8, 4) when our regular sitter cancelled. He arrived 10 mins early to get settled, and immediately engaged with my 11 year old. He had a creative dinner idea for the kids, even got our 4yo to eat a lot, and I came home to happy kids who couldn’t wait to tell me about all the fun they had. He even got my 4yo to play with him, and she’s usually very hesitant towards new people. He followed her multi-step bedtime routine successfully too. Full disclosure: Brian is my coworker’s husband, so I knew and had met him before hiring him. After rave reviews from my kids, I will definitely be hiring him again.”
Hi! I’m Charlotte — a bilingual (French/English), CPR-certified babysitter who’s dependable, warm, and great with kids of all ages. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve supported families during everything from first-time date nights to last-minute schedule changes — always showing up with a calm, caring attitude. I also worked as an Educator in Coastal Ecology for 10 months, teaching children and adults ages 5–99! That role, plus my time as a camp counselor and family babysitter (cousins, nieces, nephews), has made me patient, adaptable, and great at connecting with kids quickly — even in new situations. Whether you need someone for a one-time evening, a weekend afternoon, or a backup sitter, I’m happy to step in and help. I make sure children feel safe and have fun, while keeping your home running smoothly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include: - Outdoor exploration and nature walks - Arts and crafts - Storytime and reading - Homework help (especially science!) - Gentle playtime and games for babies & toddlers I’m also happy to help with: - Meal prep and feeding - Diaper changes and nap routines - Bath and bedtime - Light tidying up after play or dinner I’m certified in CPR/AED through the Red Cross, and parents often describe me as calm, responsible, and easy to trust — especially in short-notice or first-time situations. Bonus: I also have experience caring for seniors and helping around the house. From driving to appointments and prepping meals to offering companionship, I love making life a little easier for families. If you’re looking for someone who’s kind, reliable, and brings positive energy into your home — I’d love to connect 💛 Let me know how I can support your family!
Hi family! I’m Diana – an energetic, kind, and experienced nanny and teacher who genuinely loves working with kids of all ages. With over six years of experience in education and childcare, I bring a blend of patience, organization, and a fun-loving attitude to every family I work with. I’m a graduate teacher and have worked with children ranging from 2 months to 6 years old in both classroom and home settings. I started babysitting my niece and nephew. I took care of a wonderful family with three children (now 2, 4, and 6 years old) for two years, helping with everything from morning routines and after-school activities to meals and bedtime. I’m currently caring for a 7-month-old baby, which has further deepened my experience with infants. I love spending time outdoors with children—whether it’s walks, playdates, or playground adventures—and I always try to nurture their creativity through art and craft projects. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and always strive to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for kids to thrive. I’m excited to continue supporting families in my area and would love to connect! Feel free to reach out, Diana
“Diana was prompt, kind, and played lots of arts and crafts etc with my 4yo, and very understanding when we ran a bit late. My daughter had a great time!”
