Hi! I'm Kimberly and currently live in Seattle. I have worked with kids for over 17 years and absolutely love it. I have been a babysitter, nanny, lead summer camp teacher, and a household manager.

I have experience babysitting children ranging from 18 months up to 13 years, including kids with ADHD and ASD. I'm a pretty calm and easygoing guy, and always make an effort to engage with the kids I watch. I’m a pretty active person and like to get the kids outside when I can; bike rides, lava monster and soccer are frequent activities. While I personally enjoy physical activities, I'm always happy to take it easy and break out some table games or crafts for a quiet night in. I am comfortable with pets as well. P.S. I completed my bachelor's in March ’22, and am currently searching for work in the communications field.

I love to engage with children in a safe, positive and joyful manner! Currently I work in a childcare nursery with kids generally between 6 months and 5 years old. I worked at a very busy childcare center in a health club for about 18 years, with children between ages 6 months and 12 years. I look forward to bringing my decades of childcare experience, enthusiasm and joy to my interactions with your child.

“So kind trying to meet Sir Jingles! Would recommend Julie for anyone wanting a kind cat sitter!”

Hi, My name is Alicia! I've been babysitting for 10 years now and it never feels like work to me because it's always fun! I've babysat kids in all different age groups, from 8 months to 10 years old. My favorite things to do while babysitting are going to the park, coloring, reading books, playing outside games, like tag. Pretty much anything to stay active and have fun.

I have been babysitting and working with kids since I turned 13 and started walking to babysitting jobs in my neighborhood. I love going on walks, reading, and doing crafts! I currently work at a general contractor coordinating our high school and college internships. I am looking for occasional nanny jobs.

“Emma was great! On time, engaging with our son, and listened well to instructions for the day. She was responsive and had a rave review from the kiddo when we got home!”
