Hi! My name is Lindsey and I go by Lu. I am a mom to an amazing 5month old and am in my 7th year as a middle school science teacher. I am offering childcare and household care. I have over 10 years of experience working with infants to school-age children ranging from family to work experience that includes supporting neurodivergent children specifically with adhd and autism. I enjoy supporting young people in learning through play including arts, crafts and imaginative play.
Hi! My name is Leahcim, and I’m a patient, kind, and bubbly babysitter who enjoys connecting with kids on their level. I bring a creative and thoughtful approach to childcare, always striving to make every moment fun, educational, and nurturing. Whether it’s reading stories, playing imaginative games, coloring, doing outdoor activities, or working through homework, I love helping children learn, grow, and express themselves. I have a strong foundation in child development and family studies through college coursework, which helps me better understand the emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs of children at every age. I’ve cared for toddlers and kids ages 2 to 10 and have hands-on experience with diaper changes, bottle prep, feeding, teething, and more. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks like meal prep, light cleaning, or pet care! I’m comfortable around animals and understand how to support a busy household. I also offer tutoring support and have experience tutoring elementary and middle school students with schoolwork. Families can count on me to be responsible, flexible, and communicative. I value building trust with both kids and parents and am committed to creating a safe, joyful, and supportive environment. Whether you need a fun playmate, a patient tutor, or an extra set of hands around the house, I’m here to help however I can!
I am a caregiver by nature. Beyond being a parent, I have also provided afterschool care and I teach at a preschool part time. I love engaging kids in playful activities and going on adventures. I love crafts and games. I host kids in my outdoor play area as well. I hope to serve as many people as I can. I think it is imperative that kids get a chance to play with others in order to learn crucial skills for their future. I would like the opportunity to share time exploring and creating fun memories while learning new skills with your child. I am a fan of the Reggio Emilia approach to learning and will follow the child's interests. Feel free to contact me with any questions- Tamara
Hi! I have a lot of experience with children, as I have many young children in my family that I have been looking after since my teenage years. I am therefore used to caring for children of all ages, from 0 to 16 years old. I have also been babysitting for several years, including taking care of infants. I am currently an au pair in Seattle, where I take care of two children aged 2 and 4 on a daily basis. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person, and safety is always my top priority when looking after children. Families can feel confident that their children will be well cared for in a safe, attentive, and positive environment. I really enjoy spending time with children and organizing a variety of age-appropriate activities, such as painting, drawing, creative games, and outdoor play whenever possible. I always make sure children feel comfortable, engaged, and happy. Regarding animals, I grew up around dogs (Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepherds), so I am very comfortable with them. Dogs are a true passion of mine. I also love cats and many other animals. Finally, if families wish, they are more than welcome to contact my current host family in Seattle for additional reassurance and references.
Hi! My name is Jack, I am 23 years old and born and raised in Seattle. I want to become a music teacher and in the winter will begin my classes for a teaching degree. Right now I am offering childcare, pet care, and house sitting. I am an older brother of a little sister and a baby brother so I’ve been watching kids and babysitting since I was 12. Outside of my own family, I babysat through high school, including large groups of kids (group of 6 kids all under 13yo) and have experience working with kids professionally in the Seattle public system and briefly at a public middle school in Oakland CA. I also love pets! If you have any furry friends who need some attention I have lots of experience with cats and dogs. I have fostered kittens and older cats including behaviorally challenged cats. I have experience with large breeds as my family owns a Rottweiler, and I have experience dog sitting behaviorally challenged dogs as well. Some special experience I have is with instrumental coaching and beginning music skills. I also have lots of experience outdoors fishing, hiking, rock climbing, I’d be happy to take adventures outdoors or go out for activities. Please feel free to ask any questions about my experience!
