I have had several years of experience working with children of all ages. Working with children is something that I am very passionate about. I graduated from Seattle University Law School and am available currently studying for the bar exam. I am looking for a part-time position and have flexible study hours.

10/10 would recommend! Kailey babysat our daughter along with two of our friends’ children and it went so well! The girls had a blast and felt comfortable with Kailey. It’s awesome that she charges a reasonable price for multiple kiddos. We’re all looking forward to next double date night knowing we have someone to watch the kids.

Booked by 1 family in Kenmore, WA

I spent my freshmen and Sophomore year (2[removed]) at college working with preschool English language learners. From 2015 to 2018 I worked at Green Tree Early Education center in Downtown Seattle. After graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Early Education, I went for a Masters in Computer Science from Northeastern University. During my corporate career, I worked EST which allowed me to be an afterschool nanny/manny starting during the pandemic. I have worked with 7 different families and my undergraduate education was focused on infants and toddlers. Most of my experience is in transitional care / mothers helper while the families are on a waitlist for childcare centers. However my most recent experience was as a nanny/manny for two boys with Autism Spectrum disorder. I have an outdated first aid and CPR certification but I am almost certain there has not been any significant changes since 2017. I am comfortable around pets

Brian responded to my post looking for a last minute sitter for my 3 kids (11, 8, 4) when our regular sitter cancelled. He arrived 10 mins early to get settled, and immediately engaged with my 11 year old. He had a creative dinner idea for the kids, even got our 4yo to eat a lot, and I came home to happy kids who couldn’t wait to tell me about all the fun they had. He even got my 4yo to play with him, and she’s usually very hesitant towards new people. He followed her multi-step bedtime routine successfully too. Full disclosure: Brian is my coworker’s husband, so I knew and had met him before hiring him. After rave reviews from my kids, I will definitely be hiring him again.

Hello ! My name’s Lizzie, and I’m currently studying education at the University of Washington, but I’ve been working with kids for a long time already. I have 5+ years of childcare experience, including infant care all the way up to young adolescents. I'm currently a site manager at an after school program for elementary students from kindergarten to sixth grade. I love what I do and I’d love to work with you to help out with whatever you and your kid(s) need. I'm also more than happy to care for any pets at home as I grew up with dogs myself. I hope you reach out, and thank you in advance for your time.

Hi Parents! If you have any questions after reading my profile, I encourage you to reach out to me, and I will do my best to get back to you right away. I have been caring for children since I was 11 years old, and I started working as a Professional Nanny/Household Manager/Mary Poppins when I was 17 until I was 33. At the age of 30, I opened the sought-after nanny agency in Seattle, The Nanny Consultant. During the course of my nanny career, I took dozens of classes supporting children in everything from sleep to development, and I feel like I have read every parenting book under the sun. Since then, I have had three children, who are now 4, 5, and 7, whom I homeschool. Years ago, I completed the basic skills exam from the INA with 100% accuracy. I have also completed the National Nanny Training Day in San Diego in 2013 and in Seattle in 2016, Nannypolozza in Orlando in 2015 and Vancouver Nanny Training in 2016 and spoke there in 2017. I most recently attended a newborn care specialist class. I truly love this profession as it is a true passion of mine. I am in it for the long run. I currently only provide back up care and date nights. My objective is to offer families the best and complete care for their children with love, nourishment, and guidance and to make sure the health, well-being, education, and safety of the children are never jeopardized. I undertake all tasks related to the care of the entire household. I support children by providing physical, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual play to ensure proper development. I always maintain good, open communication with parents and usually come with a nanny bag with books, coloring sheets, and a puzzle that is age-appropriate. "I have extensive experience in childcare and treat the children under my care as if they were my own. I have a natural ability to connect with children, and they tend to gravitate towards me (even animals too!). My priority is providing quality care to the children and creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them."

Kyla was wonderful! She even reorganized our toy area!!

Hi, my name is Alessandra and I’m a Junior at UW offering child care services! I absolutely love working with children and grew up as the oldest in a big family, so caring for kids has always been a natural part of my life. I previously worked as a preschool teacher with children ranging from infants to pre-k, and have all the certifications and training required to work with children in Washington State. I’m energetic, patient, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building connections with kids. I’m comfortable with pets, light household tasks, and helping with homework or activities. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive environment!

Professional, experienced, and matches well with my kid’s profile
