Jenevieve $25 per hour for 1 child

I would describe myself as having a calm and observant disposition. A clever sense of humor with a big imagination. Definitely a utilitarian thinker and likes to explore outside the box with art and play. I’ve always connected well with kids of all ages. It’s natural for me to communicate, play and be imaginative with them at their level while remaining in the present. Retired now but before I was a dedicated professional with over 15 years experience in providing comprehensive services to general/ special needs children of various ages mostly one to one. I also have a background in behavioral management and curriculum development. Eight years experience in pet/house sitting around the world. Six years of Camp Counselor and instructor in wilderness survival and camping with youth. In addition, I have 4 years of experience in Sailing Charters as a 1st Mate and 3 years experience in Landscaping/ general yard maintenance. Those are the large parts amongst many other hats I’ve worn throughout my years. I hold a MA in Special Needs Education specifically with the deaf and/or blind and a BA in Elementary Education K-6. The core of my person is organized/cleanliness, detailed oriented, mindful, loyal, honest, straight forward, and have integrity in anything I commit to, be it work or personal. I practice awareness in many areas and believe without this one cannot grow or learn how to improve themselves in communication and their person. Currently, I’m looking for part-time work for now that provides an environment that is stimulating to the mind and involves movement vs stationary. A multi tasking position with limited to no major self created chaos. Background information: I’ve been background checked and fingerprinted multiple times for educational purposes and licensing. I do not have any criminal background. I am NW born and grew up in Portland and Seattle area. At the moment I reside in Everett and have a vehicle. Thank you for your time in reading my profile and look forward to finding a good match. Best regards, Jenevieve

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Bothell, WA

Hi families! My name is Remi, and I am an enthusiastic childcare professional with over five years of experience. I am currently a student at the University of Washington and work as both a substitute teacher and nanny. I began my journey in childcare at a center where I worked with all age groups, from infants to school-age children. I later became a lead teacher of a toddler classroom and transitioned to leading a preschool classroom at another center. I hold an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education as well as the following certifications: Certificate in State Early Childhood Education and Certificate of Specialization in State Short Early Childhood Education - General. Other relevant certifications include First Aid, Pediatric and Adult CPR US, and Food Handler Permit. I am deeply passionate about fostering diversity and creating inclusive, mindful environments for children. I strive to promote culturally sensitive practices and take the time to learn about the families I work with to better meet their needs. Working with children has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love being part of their growth and development, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

I highly recommend Remi! She has been an incredible support to our family, especially during the early days when my baby was a newborn. Whether it was during the day or late at night, Remi was always there, providing the care and help I needed. Her experience and confidence in handling babies are truly remarkable. She knows exactly how to calm, comfort, and care for little ones, even in the most challenging moments. Her calm demeanor and nurturing personality made a world of difference for me as a new parent. Remi is dependable, attentive, and always follows instructions carefully. She also offered helpful advice based on her experience, which was reassuring. Knowing that my baby was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to rest and focus when I needed to. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and experienced, Remi is the perfect choice. I would not hesitate to hire her again—she’s truly exceptional!
