Holiday Babysitter – Seattle Metro
A schedule, built around your choice.

Jovie is hiring experienced, caring childcare providers to support Seattle-area and Eastside-area families this holiday season. You choose the days that work for you, families count on you for those days, and we build your schedule around them.

You choose the pattern. We build your schedule around it.

Choose at least 2 regular days a week through January 4. Popular schedules:

• Weekend Team: Saturday + Sunday
• Start the Week: Monday + Tuesday, our busiest days
• Short-Shift Option: Looking for 4-hour shifts only? We have that schedule too.
• Or build your own: any 2 or more days that fit your life

Pay: $23–$25/hour, depending on experience, plus overtime when applicable
Holiday bonus: Keep your scheduled days and earn $100 for every 50 hours you work between November 16 and January 4.

Why choosing your days pays off:

• The perfect seasonal job: you pick the days you work
• Priority staffing on your chosen days
• The chance to build relationships with repeat families
• First invitation to join our team for school breaks and Peak Days in 2027

What you'll do:

• Provide safe, nurturing care for infants and children in families' homes
• Manage meals, naps and daily routines
• Keep kids engaged with reading, play and age-appropriate activities
• Update parents on how the day went

You're a great fit if you:

What happens after you apply:

We'll review your application and schedule an interview, where we'll talk through the days you'd like to commit to. Then we complete screening and reference checks and send an offer. You'll attend Orientation and Training on the Jovie Way, and we'll staff you with families on your chosen days as care is requested. Payday is every two weeks.
