Jennifer $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m a special education teacher with 19 years of experience supporting students of all abilities. I’m also the proud mom of an amazing 15-year-old, and I understand how important it is to find someone who is dependable, patient, and genuinely cares about children. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds, including children with special needs, English language learners, and those needing extra academic and emotional support. My experience has helped me develop patience, creativity, and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. As both a teacher and a mom, I know every child is unique. Whether your family needs occasional babysitting, homework help, transportation, or someone to keep your children engaged with games, crafts, reading, or outdoor activities, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I’m reliable, organized, and calm under pressure, and I treat every child with the same kindness, respect, and encouragement that I want for my own. I look forward to helping your family and creating a positive experience for both you and your children!

Greta 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in South Colby, WA

Hi there! I am the mom of 2 high school kids. I have a Masters in Secondary Education, and during the school year, I run my own math tutoring business, from elementary to high school students. I have 8 years experience as an art and science teacher. I am working part-time as a nanny for infants and small children. I have a lot of experience with infants and toddlers. I am an active and attentive caregiver: I sing to, read to, play with, teach, and comfort the infants/kids I nanny. I participated with my own kids in coop preschool. I still incorporate what I learned in preschool into my tutoring and nanny work: encouraging positive behavior, calmly setting limits, asking children questions, and really listening to children. I enjoy being around kids. I am a swimmer, outdoor enthusiast (hiking, biking and bird watching), and enjoy spending time with my family outdoors.

Greta was an absolute lifesaver for our family. After working with multiple sitters and nannies, I can confidently say she was by far the best. She consistently went above and beyond, especially in caring for our daughter, who has special requirements. Greta and our daughter quickly became best friends—she was always excited when Greta came by. Greta supported us tremendously as new parents, offering thoughtful tips and advice when asked, and truly became part of our family. Even during our daughter’s “stranger danger” phase, Greta was someone she trusted and adored when others couldn’t calm her. We will absolutely continue to use Greta in the future and highly recommend her.

Rebekah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I’m Rebekah 😊 I have almost 10 years of experience working with children in various settings. When I was in high school I taught dance to 3-10 year olds and had a consistent babysitting job. My undergraduate degree is in Elementary Education. I have worked in several formal and informal educational settings (day camps/overnight camps/after school programs/childcare centers). A couple of years ago I moved to Seattle and am now working full time as an administrative assistant. I’m looking for an occasional - to part time babysitting position. Some of my favorite movements working with kids include making crafts, exploring nature, fun science experiments and playing card games. I am currently only certified for Adult CPR in addition to general first aid. I have received Infant child CPR certifications in the past. After graduating college I received my preliminary teaching license. However, at the time I went to work in outdoor education settings. Due to this, my teaching license expired around 3 years ago. I have experience working with kids in Montessori settings. Also, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats. Percy and Hercules are my cats and I am the main sitter for my sister’s two dogs.

Booked by 1 family in South Colby, WA

My name is Molly. I live in West Seattle with my fiancée and pets. I am a student at Seattle Central College studying pre-nursing. I have been babysitting part time for the past year while in school and offer services in childcare. I have experiences with children of all ages. I worked as a certified medical assistant for 3 years in urgent care and sports medicine before taking time off to go back to school. My experience in childcare primarily comes from helping take care of my four nieces for the past 16 years. I also volunteered as a camp counselor for a Girl Scouts day camp every summer for 6 years, as well as for a 5th grade trip to Camp Colman. I also have experience with pediatric patients while working as a medical assistant. I am more than happy to implement your routine and parenting techniques while you’re away. I am quite flexible, if you have any questions please reach out!

Kaleen 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Colby, WA

Hi, my name is Kaleen. I just relocated to Seattle from Florida. I am a mother of a 22 year-old son, a 17 year-old daughter, and my little guy is Jakob who is 5 1/2 years old. I share custody so there are plenty of opportunities for me to pick up shifts when I don't have him. With that being said, I don't have any certifications for childcare training. I have raised three amazing children. I am CPR certified in adults and children. I am a veteran, student, I am kind, patient, loving, dependable, honest, hardworking, and I can assure you that your children will be in great hands. I have been in the healthcare field for 25 years working in hospital settings, emergency settings, in-home caregiver settings, and everything pharmacy related. I have completed one year of nursing school, hoping to finish the last year and work with chemotherapy patients. As a single mom, I understand most people cannot afford $25+ an hour, I can't either, so I am willing to be flexible with payments and rates. I have an SUV, so I can run errands or take your kiddos out to wherever you might love to go! Or maybe some of mine and Jake's favorite places. Please don't hesitate to ask any and all questions.

Kaleen is was very responsive from beginning to end which I appreciated. This was my first time leaving my 6 month old with a non-family member and I was STRESSED to be honest! She put me at ease and the results speak for themselves. My baby cries and cries when anyone but me holds him and by the time Kaleen was done he was smiling and content. She put in the work to get my son to relax which in turn helped me relax. She was punctual, and comfortable with my animals. Respectful of the home. I would recommend her and would feel confident having her watch my son again.
