Luwam $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Bellevue, WA

Hi! My name is Luwam. I’m a caring and dependable caregiver with hands-on experience from raising my four children. I truly believe children learn and grow best when they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and that is the kind of environment I always strive to create. I have completed a certificate in Early Childhood Education and have a genuine passion for helping children explore, discover, and reach their full developmental potential. I am patient, responsible, and committed to supporting families by providing attentive, nurturing, and reliable care. I am also certified as a school volunteer and chaperone, which has given me additional experience supervising children during school activities, field trips, and group events. I currently work with children with special needs as an assistant, and I am always willing to learn more so I can better support every child’s unique needs.

Lorna $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lorna, I’m 27 years old and I have a lot experience working with kids. I have been working with children since I was 15 years old. I started by caring for my neighbors’ and family friends’ kids, and my passion for childcare has grown ever since. After finishing high school and starting university, where I studied to become a kindergarten teacher. I worked in two daycares, where I gained experience with children of different ages and developmental stages. I also worked as a prefect in a high school for two years and as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher for another two years in two different kindergartens, helping students improve their communication skills and confidence. Most recently, I worked as a nanny in the United States for almost two years, providing full-time care and support for children while assisting with daily routines, activities, and household tasks. I love creating a positive, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel safe.

Sofia $28 per hour for 1 child

I have always enjoyed working with children. After finishing my degree in Psychology in 2021, I had the opportunity to travel to Brazil to work with the United Nations on one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (Quality Education) for 2 months, where I taught Spanish and organized educational activities for children. My experience in childcare has been truly vocational and inspiring for me. I cared for a boy for six months, from 1. 5 years old until he turned 2. Then, I took care of a second child from 9 months until he was 2. 5 years old. Currently, I am taking care of a little girl since she was 4 months and she is now 2 years old! I enjoy helping children with their emotional growth and daily routines, while fostering a safe environment where they can explore and play.
