Hello there! I am Milena, i studied at Bellevue christian school before moving to online and am on a gap year before heading to college! I worked at mercer island elementary as a Teachers assistant where i truly found my love for children. Growing up i was always babysitting and always knew i wanted kids of my own. I enjoy readying, going to the park, and playing with all my nanny kids favorite toys. I would describe myself as loving, communicative, and reliable.
Hello! My name is Alexa and I am a 2nd grade teacher with 12 years of experience! I love my job and enjoy watching children grow academically, socially and emotionally. I am an energetic, patient person who loves to engage with children in activities that interest them. I enjoy reading stories and spending time engaged in imaginative and creative play alongside children. I am more than willing to use my skills as a teacher to help with school assignments if needed. I work best with children ages 4-11. I am looking forward to getting to know your child!
Hi, my name is Kaleen. I just relocated to Seattle from Florida. I am a mother of a 22 year-old son, a 17 year-old daughter, and my little guy is Jakob who is 5 1/2 years old. I share custody so there are plenty of opportunities for me to pick up shifts when I don't have him. With that being said, I don't have any certifications for childcare training. I have raised three amazing children. I am CPR certified in adults and children. I am a veteran, student, I am kind, patient, loving, dependable, honest, hardworking, and I can assure you that your children will be in great hands. I have been in the healthcare field for 25 years working in hospital settings, emergency settings, in-home caregiver settings, and everything pharmacy related. I have completed one year of nursing school, hoping to finish the last year and work with chemotherapy patients. As a single mom, I understand most people cannot afford $25+ an hour, I can't either, so I am willing to be flexible with payments and rates. I have an SUV, so I can run errands or take your kiddos out to wherever you might love to go! Or maybe some of mine and Jake's favorite places. Please don't hesitate to ask any and all questions.
“Kaleen is was very responsive from beginning to end which I appreciated. This was my first time leaving my 6 month old with a non-family member and I was STRESSED to be honest! She put me at ease and the results speak for themselves. My baby cries and cries when anyone but me holds him and by the time Kaleen was done he was smiling and content. She put in the work to get my son to relax which in turn helped me relax. She was punctual, and comfortable with my animals. Respectful of the home. I would recommend her and would feel confident having her watch my son again.”
I am a child care worker of many years and have extensive experience with ages birth to 11. Mostly I’m a preschool teacher but for a number of years I nannied after hours in exchange for partial rent for three different families. When my child was younger I nannied for an additional three families. I love working with young children, making up silly games with them and doing art experiences with them, and helping them feel competent in their every day tasks! Now my child is in high school and I am free to do some Friday/Saturday babysitting.
“Rebecca was very friendly, punctual, and a great human being to hang out with. She helped me organize a lot of my belongings that got shipped to me and break down boxes. I really appreciated her help to get my apartment in order! Thanks Rebecca :)”
With a solid foundation in caregiving, I am a third-year nursing student at Seattle University with plans to specialize in pediatrics due to my passion for working with children. I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience through babysitting kids from 5 months to 12 years old, completing a geriatric clinical, and volunteering at animal shelters. My time in Girl Scouts honed my leadership and caregiving skills, while my love for animals shows through caring for pets like cats, snakes, and even chickens. My rescue dog Mango, who I’ve had since childhood, reflects my lifelong commitment to care and compassion. Additionally, I have a passion for cooking, particularly baking, which I love to share with the families I work with, creating fun and delicious treats.
