Hello, I’m Selene! Ive worked in an elementary and middle school as a para-educator. I thoroughly enjoy working and spending time with kiddos of all ages! I’ve had experience watching my newborn nephews, as well as watching my little cousins and family friends. So I’m familiar with all ages ranging from newborns, toddlers, and tweens and always look forward to join them in their adventures! Let me help make your life easier and worry about your kids while you enjoy a stress free much needed break 🤞🏻 I’m more familiar watching cats than dogs but am willing to do either :)
“We had a sitter cancel on us very last minute and Selene came to the rescue! She was wonderful with our 3 small kids (8, 5 and 3). Cant wait to have her babysit 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!
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!”
Hello, I recently worked for a local preschool and am working towards my STARS certification. I have a current food handlers card and child, infant, and adult CPR. I’m awesome with the elderly, children, and animals. Also very experienced in professional house cleaning. I am a current student in the Neuro Diagnostic Technologist program at Bellevue college. For the next two years. Looking for steady reliable employment:)
Hi! I’m Yasmin and have been babysitting and nannying for over 20 years. I would describe myself as extremely outgoing, fun and bubbly! I am an avid traveler and have traveled to over 30 countries! I am fluent in Arabic and went to boarding school in Amman, Jordan. I have a huge family with over 60 cousins, nephews and nieces. I love kids and did my first year of university in Education. I did receive honors and after graduation I went on and received my certification in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). I am now doing a masters program and am looking to babysit part time. Both my parents are chefs/baker so I love to cook and feed nutritious meals to your kids. I’m clean, reliable and honest. I’m excited to connect, learn and help your family! Thank you!!
