Booked by 6 families in Edmonds, WA

Hi! 😊 Hi! My name is Sandra. I have been living in the United States for the past year, where I worked as an au pair in the Seattle area. I am currently a student in the US and looking for babysitting/nanny opportunities in my free time to earn some extra income. I have one year of hands-on childcare experience as an au pair, caring for two children: a baby from birth until the age of 2 and another child from 3 to 5 years old. I also have an educational background in Early Childhood and Primary Education, including school internships and classroom experience. I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, play, grow, and feel safe and loved. A bit about me: * Responsible, caring, patient, and trustworthy. * One year of au pair experience in the US. * Experienced with newborns, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. * Fluent in Spanish and English. * Comfortable with daily routines, meal preparation, homework help, and creative activities. * Flexible schedule (evenings and weekends). I would love to support a family looking for occasional babysitting or a regular nanny. References available upon request. Feel free to message me if you think I could be a good fit for your family!

“She was on time and did an incredible job with our son. He loved spending the day with her! She accepted our job even though it was super last minute and was a huge lifesaver for us! Very professional and courteous.”

Alison $30 per hour for 1 child

I have been a nanny for infants and toddlers for the past 3 years. Before this time, I worked as teacher's aide, after-school program teacher and administrative assistant. I have an Early Childcare Certificate, a current First Aid/CPR Certificate for Infants - Adults, Teaching English to Students of Other Languages (TESOL) Certificate, and Public Information degree. I care deeply about forming a strong bond with the children I care for and love introducing them to various experiences that build their awareness of themselves, others and the world around them. In addition, I believe in offering gentle guidance to children in a respectful, kind, instructive and even fun way. During my time with children, I do activities and engage with them in a way that sparks their curiosity, builds their knowledge and skills, follows their interests, helps them learn age-appropriate socio-emotional and communication skills. Based on several factors, I may use redirection, modeling what I want them to do or say, several reminders to reinforce behavior expectations such as washing hands after outside play and before meals, offering "first this, then that" or a choice of what to do first when both activities are required, advanced notice before transitioning to something else, and other age-appropriate caregiving practices. As a strong empath, I want to use my innate ability to connect with children (and all people) in a way that helps them feel understood, valued, worthy of kindness and attention, great for who they are JUST AS THEY ARE, and safe. I've found that I can't nurture children as deeply as I'd like and, in the case of very young children, to the degree I feel they need as they learn about themselves, others and their world.
