Mary $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Mary, and I'm looking for a part-time nanny position. I spent 17 years running my own preschool and childcare program, caring for children from newborns through kindergarten. With a business degree and extensive coursework in early childhood education, I bring both professional experience and a true passion for nurturing young minds. I've also had the joy of raising three daughters of my own, all now college graduates, giving me a personal understanding of children's needs. I'm patient, dependable, and love spending time with kids, whether it's reading, playing, helping them learn, or simply making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Quyen $18 per hour for 1 child

I adore children and have two boys myself which I feel is enough for me. I enjoy playing with them especially under 5 when they are cute and fun. But at the end at the day, I would prefer to return to their parents. I can be gentle yet firm for children that like to test boundaries- it allows me to be creative, playful and enjoy seeing their little wheels spinning when I interact with them. In addition, I like pets, but my household have allergy to pet dander so this is one way I can get my baby/ pet fix without having to raise them.

Sara $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kenmore, WA

Hi! I'm Sara, a mom with over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to 18-year-olds. I offer babysitting, errand-running, and house-sitting services, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids. In my free time, I love working out, swimming, reading my Bible, and going for walks. I also have more than 10 years of experience in healthcare and have received CPR training multiple times. Caring for children has always been a passion of mine, as I find joy in nurturing their curiosity and watching them grow. My experience ranges from babysitting for family and friends to volunteering in community programs, where I learned the importance of patience and creativity in engaging young minds. As a parent myself, I have a deeper appreciation for the challenges and rewards of raising a child. This personal journey has only strengthened my commitment to providing a supportive and loving environment for all children in my care, fostering their development and helping them flourish.

Elizabeth $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello folks! I am Elizabeth and am so excited to meet you! I am happy to offer child care, senior care, and household services. I have a car and am available to help with driving tasks. I have over five years of experience in healthcare. As a float pool nurse, I worked in units all across the age spectrum from adolescent psychiatry to geriatric care. Therefore, I am very comfortable working with children and folks of all ages and abilities. I have my basic and advanced life support licenses and an overall focus on the well-being and joy of those I interact with. Additionally, I have a background in outdoor education. I’ve worked as camp counselor, soccer coach, and as well as a facilitator for team building workshops. I love to be outside and I love to help others explore the world around them in order to discover and grow into themselves. Happy to work with families with dogs, but I am allergic to cats. Thank you!
