Sofia $28 per hour for 1 child

I have always enjoyed working with children. After finishing my degree in Psychology in 2021, I had the opportunity to travel to Brazil to work with the United Nations on one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (Quality Education) for 2 months, where I taught Spanish and organized educational activities for children. My experience in childcare has been truly vocational and inspiring for me. I cared for a boy for six months, from 1. 5 years old until he turned 2. Then, I took care of a second child from 9 months until he was 2. 5 years old. Currently, I am taking care of a little girl since she was 4 months and she is now 2 years old! I enjoy helping children with their emotional growth and daily routines, while fostering a safe environment where they can explore and play.

Booked by 1 family in Renton, WA

Hi there! My name is Natalie and I was a babysitter in high school for 3 years. I babysat a little boy from age 2-5 years old over the course of high school. After graduating from Holy Names Academy, I finished my bachelors degree at Bellevue College. I currently work at a real estate office and would love the opportunity to nanny on the weekends and Friday nights! I love children and really enjoy being a reliable resource for families who are looking for childcare. If you have any questions or want to learn more about me, please feel free to reach out!

“Natalie is the best! My 2 little boys loved spending NYE with Natalie. She made the night so fun for them with smores and celebrations. I highly recommend! My boys keep asking when she can come over again. Thanks Natalie!!”

Chloé $27 per hour for 1 child

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.
