Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m 29 with about 15 years of childcare experience spanning all ages. I’m a recent transplant to Seattle - originally from Chicago, but spent the last three years living on the Big Island of Hawaii. I usually work full time in marketing, but right now am on the hunt for my next role - which opens up my daytime availability for childcare! I’ve worked with countless families, from nannying for vacationing families in Hawaii to spending 5 years with a Chicago family as their several times a week babysitter. I love to read, travel, and hike - please let me know if you’d like to chat further!
“Easy going, playful and engaged effortlessly with my 6/4 year olds. Highly recommend. ”
Hello families, as my contract is coming to an end soon, I am searching for a new part-time role in the mornings. Availability: 20-30 hours weekly, between 6 AM and 12 PM. A little bit about me: - I have a reliable car. - Clean driving record. - CPR certified. - Non-smoker. - Up to date with all vaccines. - Bilingual (Portuguese and English). - Very outdoorsy. I am enthusiastic, energetic, caring, and patient. I am also very punctual and love pets. North Seattle is preferable, but I’m happy to travel further for the right fit. If you’d like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you!
“Inaye was so bright and cheery! She was great with my autistic son! I would highly recommend her for anyone and especially for kids with special needs. Thank you Inaye!”
Hi! I’m Amber and I’m a teacher that’s looking to help out families after school and on weekends! I’m interested in providing childcare, pet care, and/or household services! I’ve been teaching for the last 7 years in public schools. Prior to teaching I worked in childcare running the infant classroom and floating amongst the toddler-age classrooms. I also have experience working with children in special education so I feel very comfortable working with all ages and ability levels! Both my educational and work background almost exclusively revolve around children and have allowed me to develop an excellent set of knowledge and personable skills for working with kids. I feel very comfortable and confident caring for all ages!
“Amber is fantastic. She’s communicative, prompt, and easy to work with. She’s flexible and has tons of practical experience working with children. The kids had a great time with her and want her back soon! ”
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. :)
“She’s great with the kids and very sweet. ”
Hi!, I’m Maryam, and I have over five years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. My mother owns a daycare center, where I have spent years helping and building strong skills in childcare, from infants to school aged kids. These experiences have given me a deep passion for creating safe, loving, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. I am a caring, energetic, and patient person who loves being active and creative with kids whether that means playing games, helping with schoolwork, or encouraging them through arts, crafts, and outdoor activities. I take pride in nurturing children while also supporting their development and independence. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with light housework, organizing, and running errands. I am also trained in CPR and first aid, ensuring I can respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. My love for children goes beyond caregiving I truly enjoy being part of their growth journey and forming positive, trusting relationships with families. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, experience, and passion for childcare into a supportive and nurturing home environment.
“Maryam has been an amazing sitter for my daughter. She's extremely reliable, communicates often and clearly, and my daughter loves playing with her. Absolutely would recommend.”
