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.

Booked by 8 families in Kirkland, WA

Hi! 🌟 My name is Gabriela and I have over 8 years of experience working with children, always with love, responsibility, and dedication. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, ideally 4–5 hours a day, Monday through Friday, as I’m growing my own small business and looking for a schedule that allows me to balance both. My ideal hours would be 9:00 AM–1:00 PM or 8:00 AM–12:00 PM/1:00 PM, but I’m flexible. I truly enjoy organizing and creating calm, functional spaces, so I’d be happy to work as a Mother’s Helper, helping with household organization, laundry, tidying up, meal prep for the kids, and other light household tasks. I’m also available to help care for children if needed. I have several years of nanny experience and genuinely love working with kids. If you or someone you know is looking for an extra set of hands during the day, I’d love to connect! 📚 Experience with multiple age groups 🗣️ Trilingual: Portuguese | English | Spanish 🫶🏼 Caring, patient, and reliable ✅ References available Thank you 💛

Gabby is very professional and demonstrated great communication skills throughout the process. Our kids loved having her over. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we are looking for a sitter and would highly recommend to other parents.
