Find a last-minute babysitter in Mercer Island, WA

Hi, my name is Helen! I moved to Seattle after high school and completed my college career here. I've worked most of my life with children and I love it. I love how much character their personalities already have and the energy and joy they bring to the table. I've worked personally for families as well as done babysitting for events where childcare is provided; which has given me a chance to watch wide variety of ages. The imagination that children possess is something to behold, nothing is simply ever just a 'toy' but has a whole story to it. That's a little bit about me! I hope to meet you in person soon!

Hello! My name is Rumana, and I'm a recent graduate from UW Seattle. I’m currently studying for the MCAT and babysitting on the side, so my schedule is pretty flexible between the two! I am located in Seattle and can conveniently get to anywhere close by, such as Capitol Hill, but also have a car and can travel farther (as far as Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, etc.) if needed. I love kids and hope to become a pediatrician one day! To me, working with children is incredibly fun and exciting—I love to engage their curiosity and sense of play as a babysitter and help them learn how to be respectful and kind as peers at the same time. I have experience working with kids of all ages, particularly between infants to around 11 years old. When babysitting, I typically help kids read books, play lots of games, as well as do arts and crafts if available in order to stimulate their imagination and creativity. I am happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, and any other responsibilities you might need me to do. I babysat all throughout undergrad, amounting to 4 years of experience doing paid babysitting, and spent an initial 2 years working for a family with three talkative and active kids aged 1, 3, and 5. Afterwards, I began babysitting for many different families independently for an additional 2 years, and am super adaptable to a variety of kids! In terms of availability, I am typically available in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, but again, I can be flexible if needed! Parenting is hard; the most fulfilling aspect of babysitting to me is helping your family maintain balance within your lives amidst busy schedules, and I sincerely hope to use my experience working with kids in my future career!

I am a current assistant teacher in a private school equipped with K-12 Chinese teaching license and master education degree. I used to be a homestay to take care of my 2 boys so very familiar with cleaning caring cooking stuff. I was not well supported when my kids were young, just hoping that people could use my help to feel better in these busy days.
