Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, WA

Hi! My name is Sydney. I have worked with children for nearly 8 years. A majority my experience has been working in at a daycare as a school age teacher. Much of that time was helping children with homework and also planning well rounded curriculum. Additionally, I worked as a Home Visitor for Head Start where I gained experience working with children from Birth to 3 years old. I now nanny full time for a 13 month old and have been working with her since she was 4 months old. I would love the opportunity to discuss my experience in more detail!

My name is Evie and I am a student at WWU. In high school, I had the best job at the YMCA for 2 years for elementary age kids. I also have been babysitting for 4 years. I have two bunnies, a hamster, a parakeet, and a fish at home so I am experienced at taking care of many different critters, as well as cats and dogs!

Chawa $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chawa, and I absolutely love working with children. I've spent the past year working at a Montessori school with toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years old, and it's been such a rewarding experience. I enjoy getting to know each child's unique personality and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I also have a few years of babysitting experience with children ranging from 12 months to 8 years old. My responsibilities have included diaper changes, bottle feeding and meals, preparing meals and snacks, engaging children in age-appropriate play and learning activities, reading, helping with nap time, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. I'm CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) certified, and I always prioritize children's safety while creating a fun, nurturing, and positive environment where they can learn and grow. Families have described me as calm, responsible, and trustworthy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and love encouraging their curiosity through games, crafts, outdoor play, books, and other engaging activities. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, communicating openly with parents, and treating every child with kindness and patience. I'm happy to help with light housekeeping related to the children, meal preparation, homework assistance for older kids, and creating a smooth, stress free experience for the whole family. I look forward to getting to know your family!

Grace $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Grace and I’ve been a nanny in the Seattle area for over 12 years. I am looking for families who need care predominantly on the weekends as I am now working to save money in order to go back to school to finish my degree in Family Sciences. I’m currently a full time nanny during the week for the family I’ve been with for almost 5 years. I love them dearly and am not looking to modify any of my weekday hours. I’ve been babysitting since I was 11, taking care of neighborhood kids and cousins, transitioning to a full time nanny during the summer I was 16. In the 12 years since I’ve worked with 11 families of all different sizes, for ages ranging 3 mos. to 11 years. I have a wide-ranging experience in different household/family tasks such as cooking, cleaning, organizing, scheduling, crafting, tutoring and driving. I truly love working with children, protecting and supporting the sacred time of childhood, while also being able to support families and parents.
