Leah $30 per hour for 1 child

As an exhibiting artist and former full-time arts educator, I believe in facilitating meaningful, creative, and developmentally appropriate experiences for the children and seniors I care for. I pride myself in my ability to anticipate needs, develop organizational systems for families and care teams, and to communicate clearly. The foundation of my care skills was laid during my first 4 years of nonprofit education work, where I primarily taught creative movement to ages 3-5 and to seniors in residential programs. Later, I nannied an incredible infant from 8mo to 2.5 years and worked for 2 years in an after school enrichment program, and I was a full-time live-in caregiver for a person with brain cancer in their last year of life. I currently substitute teach in ECE classrooms around the city and run my own business as a Licensed Massage Therapist. I believe in getting the people I care for out of the house, moving their bodies in nature, and enjoying everything this city has to offer. Certifications include: MFA in Art (University of Michigan), BFA in Dance (Ohio University), CPR/AED, Massage Therapist License, 200hr Yoga Certification, and Washington Food Handlers Card.

Leslie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter who genuinely loves children. I’m currently a UW finance student, and I grew up helping care for my two younger sisters—especially my youngest sister, who I helped raise from birth through age five with a 14-year age gap. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with infants and young children and familiar with daily routines like feeding, playtime, and bedtime. In addition to family experience, I have professional babysitting experience for a neighbor and have cared for children of different ages. I’ve also had a house dog my entire life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very active, enjoy playing sports and keeping kids engaged, and I’m always happy to help with homework. I can also assist with light household cleaning and keeping things organized. I’m dependable, attentive, and bring a positive, upbeat attitude to every family I work with!

Leila $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Leila, a student at the University of Washington with several years of experience working with children. In high school, I completed a 3-year childcare career pathway program where I worked closely with kids of different ages through activities, learning, and care. I also have hands-on experience caring for my two infant nieces and younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable with routines, playtime, meals, and helping children feel safe and supported. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like crafts, games, reading, and outdoor play. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and create a positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I have two ragdoll cats of my own, and I am very comfortable around pets!
