Hi, I’m Lydia Grace! I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a BS degree in Biology and am taking two gap years before attending medical school with a focus in maternal-child health. I am also certified in CPR/First Aid for Adults, Children, and Infants, so safety and reliability are always my absolute top priorities in the household. I have worked as a childcare provider for 4 years, gaining extensive experience across a wide range of age groups and developing the skills to confidently care for up to four children at once. I care deeply about contributing to children’s growth and well-being, and I recognize the vital importance of age-appropriate activities. I love leading kids in engaging crafts, outdoor play, and reading to support their ongoing developmental milestones. Additionally, I have a background in tutoring and am always happy to help with homework, especially in STEM subjects and Spanish. I am also completely comfortable preparing healthy meals for the kids and keeping the house tidy and organized. I look forward to bringing a blend of fun, developmental engagement, and reliable, safety-focused care to your family! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. :)

My name is Mary and I grew up originally in Sherwood, OR and I have nannied and babysat for multiple years for family and connections found through family/friends. I am currently in working part time and am looking to help families in my community with babysitting, running errands, nannying, chores, etc. to supplement student loans. I am a very upbeat person and I also believe in low screen time for kids especially under the age of 3. I love planning crafts, games, walks to the park, and any other activities mom and dad are on board for! I currently work part time as a Horticulturist and am looking for subsequent hours for Wednesdays-Sundays.
“Mary is absolutely wonderful! She is so friendly and easy to talk to, not to mention great with my little one. So glad to have Mary taking care of my kiddo!”
Hi there! I'm Esra - a calm, reliable, and caring nanny who truly loves spending time with little ones. I've worked with infants, toddlers, and young children, including full-time experience with a 6-month-old during my au pair year. I'm patient, safety-focused, and always try to create a warm, happy, and structured environment for kids. • Experience with infants, toddlers, and young children • CPR & First Aid certified • Fully engaged playtime (reading, sensory play, outdoor walks, tummy time, developmental activities) • Ability to follow routines (naps, bottles, meals, bedtime) • Light housekeeping related to the child (dishes, laundry, tidying play areas) • Respectful, kind, and warm presence • Comfortable with pets • Open to trial/meet & greet calls
“We hired Esra to care for our 10-month-old son, and she has been excellent. She is caring, gentle, and patient. She engages with him through play, songs, and outdoor walks, and he enjoys his time with her. We’re grateful for her support.”
Hello ! My name’s Lizzie, and I’m currently studying education at the University of Washington, but I’ve been working with kids for a long time already. I have 5+ years of childcare experience, including infant care all the way up to young adolescents. I'm currently a site manager at an after school program for elementary students from kindergarten to sixth grade. I love what I do and I’d love to work with you to help out with whatever you and your kid(s) need. I'm also more than happy to care for any pets at home as I grew up with dogs myself. I hope you reach out, and thank you in advance for your time.
Hi, my name is Alessandra and I’m a Junior at UW offering child care services! I absolutely love working with children and grew up as the oldest in a big family, so caring for kids has always been a natural part of my life. I previously worked as a preschool teacher with children ranging from infants to pre-k, and have all the certifications and training required to work with children in Washington State. I’m energetic, patient, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building connections with kids. I’m comfortable with pets, light household tasks, and helping with homework or activities. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive environment!
