UW Babysitters is a network that connects University of Washington students with Seattle-area families seeking reliable childcare and in-home support.
We are currently expanding and offering flexible, part-time opportunities for students interested in working with children and families. Positions may include babysitting, tutoring, dog sitting, homework help, meal prep/private cooking, sports lessons or private coaching, and personal assistant support.
Students in this network have the opportunity to:
- Gain hands-on experience working with children of various ages and developmental stages
- Support child development through engaging, age-appropriate activities
- Assist with homework and academic enrichment
- Build meaningful relationships with local families
- Develop skills in communication, responsibility, and caregiving
These roles are especially valuable for nursing students seeking practical experience working with children and families in real-world settings. This opportunity allows students to strengthen skills relevant to patient care, including empathy, adaptability, and interpersonal communication.
Opportunities are available throughout the Seattle area, with flexible scheduling options including weekday afternoons, evenings, and weekends.
