"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Jennifer $19 per hour for 1 child
Hi!! I’m Jennifer but go by Jenny. I just finished my senior year at Bellevue High. I grew up taking care of my cousins of all ages, so I have acquired a great deal of patience. Recently I have volunteered at our local boys and girls club in their preschool (daycare) and loved every second of it! I enjoy creative activities such as arts and crafts. I’ve been told to have great charisma and to have an admirable presence :) I have been driving for a little over a year now with a clean record! In my free time, I love writing music or playing the piano, as well as spending time outdoors!
Selah $35 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m 22 years old and was born and raised in the central Seattle area. I’ve been working in childcare for the past four years, and it’s truly something I care deeply about. Supporting children as they learn, grow, and develop their own unique personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. My passion has always been caring for children, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and valued. I love building meaningful connections not only with the kids I care for, but also with their families. I’m excited for the opportunity to get to know you and your family, and I look forward to becoming a trusted and positive part of your lives.

Rachel $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi there! I’m a compassionate and dependable sitter with daycare experience and a lifelong love for working with kids. I grew up helping care for my younger cousins, which taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of building strong relationships with children. As a graduate student close to finishing my Marriage and Family Therapy degree, I’m looking for small jobs to balance with my studies. I have experience working with children and teens and am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or just being a supportive presence, I’m here to make sure your kids are cared for and happy. I look forward to partnering with your family!
Vallere $28 per hour for 1 child
I have three children of my own but they are older now. 😉I am an elementary teacher and enjoy being with kids. It would be great to enjoy littles outside of the school setting. I can be structured but also fun. I know how difficult it is to be a parent and I’d love to help you out with being with your littles. I enjoy being outdoors.
