Find a last-minute babysitter in Seattle, WA

I have a long experience working with children all ages. I love being around kids, playing, teaching and having fun with them. I’m a very responsible, caring person that you can depend on me while you’re away.

Hello! My name is Ruth and I am a retired children's librarian and a former lead teacher in an after-school program in West Seattle. I am looking for occasional work providing babysitting or cat sitting services or a nanny position. Is your regular nanny ill? Babysitter cancelled? I can fulfill last-minute requests, too. Highly creative, I have a master's degree in library and information science, specializing in children's services. As a librarian, I provided children's story times and created both craft and STEM programs. I enjoy being with kids and exploring books, art and nature. I have two cats, Susan and Linda, who are litter mates. They began life as feral, abandoned kittens who were terrified of people. They're now four years old and both are big lap cats. I also occasionally care for the cats of two households in West Seattle. I usually spend about a half an hour in the home, talking and playing with the cat, feeding, and cleaning the litter box. I grew up with dogs, and love them, too, so working with a family with dogs is A-okay with me! A licensed driver with clean record, I rely on public transportation to get around. I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Hello! I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old with ages 1 yr up to 12 years old. Additionally, I grew up in a big family taking care of my nieces and nephews since they were babies. I have a full time job as a behavior technician providing ABA therapy for kids with Autism and have worked in this field for the past 5 years with ages ranging from 2 years old to adulthood. I love babysitting and would love more opportunities to do so! Love engaging kiddos in crafts, homework, games, and fun activities.

Hi! I’m currently working as a medical assistant and would love to hang out with your kids! I am energetic, love the outdoors, and have been babysitting for about 13 years. I prefer playing games outside or doing crafts/baking/etc inside than screen time with the kiddos but am flexible and go with the flow. I am a recent college grad and can help with homework or projects too. Let me know if you have any questions!
