Emily
Hi! I’m a current graduate student pursuing my Masters Degree in Education and a substitute teacher. I used to work at a tutoring center for 4 years working with kids on math and reading from grades pre-K to 10th. I have 2 years of teaching experience in science and special education classrooms. I also grew up babysitting my cousins, ages ranging from 2-8 years old. I strive to interact with kids through games and learning experiences that keep them active and curious.

AnnMarie
Hello! My name is AnnMarie! I’m a dependable and creative babysitter with experience as a toddler assistant teacher in a Montessori school. I’m also the oldest of six children, so I’ve spent a lifetime caring for and helping raise my younger siblings — my youngest sister is seven, and we still spend time together each week creating art, playing games, doing homework, and reading books. As both an artist and a big sister, I love offering screen-free, engaging activities like drawing, crafting, storytelling, and even singing together while I play guitar. When the weather allows, I enjoy spending time outdoors exploring, encouraging curiosity, and helping children discover the world around them. I’m patient, responsible, and deeply caring about children’s well-being — both their safety and emotional growth. Families describe me as positive, creative, and calm under pressure. I hope to bring my positivity, creativity, and care to your family by helping maintain your routines, fostering imagination, and ensuring your child feels safe, supported, and happy.

Hi, my name is Mayra Reveles. I am a student at Seattle Pacific University studying Business Administration with a focus in Marketing. I have one year of babysitting experience through Jovei Babysitting Company and additional experience volunteering at Meadow Crest Learning Center during my sophomore and junior years of high school. I worked as a teacher helper, leading activities, playing with children, and helping them stay safe and organized throughout the day, including assisting with after-school bus routines. I enjoy working with kids and creating a fun, caring, and safe environment where they feel comfortable and supported.

Hi there! My name is Quynh and I recently graduated from nursing school at Seattle University. Over the past two summers I have work at multiple summer camps and also have experience caring for infants. I have one cat and will be comfortable with having other animals in the house. Activities that I like to do with kids including arts and crafts, walking to the park, engaging in sports, and baking (if allowed). I am also CPR/ first aid certified and am fully vaccinated. I look forward to meeting you!

Currently an assistant teacher at a local montessori school. My love for kids extends beyond the classroom. As a past substitute daycare assistant teacher, I've missed these younger age groups!

Georgia
Hi I’m Georgia! I love kids and am going to school to become a pediatric nurse in the fall (at WWU). It’s always been my dream to work with kids. I usually babysit for my aunt and uncle, who have a 12 and a 7 year old, but I’ve been babysitting for them for about 3 years (so since they were 9 and 4). I’m a senior in high school and 18 years old.
