As a mom myself, I know first hand how difficult (and overwhelming at times) it was to find a trusting babysitter or nanny for my boys when they were younger. The way I see it, there is no greater job than being a parent. And when you have to make it to your job and can't be "there" for your children, you want to make sure they are in the right hands. That's where I come in, to offer you the peace of mind that your child will be safe, well cared for, nurtured and encouraged to thrive. I have a long experience with child care, from newborn to school age teenagers. I have a Bachelors in Education Sciences, with emphasis in Child Development. I am current on CPR, AED and First Aid training, and I am certified in Defensive Driving. I am also a Washington state Certified Specialized Para-Educator working with my school district in the mornings during the school year. If you're reading this message it’s because you're in need of someone you can trust your child with. So, send me a message and I will respond promptly.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ilda! She was always punctual—often arriving a little early each day, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment she met our baby, it was clear she had a natural gift with children. Our little one instantly connected with her and was so happy and comfortable in her care. What really stood out was not only her warmth and patience, but also her depth of experience. She shared thoughtful insights about our baby’s development and what to expect in the coming months, which was incredibly helpful for us as new parents. It felt like she wasn’t just providing care, but also partnering with us in understanding our child’s growth. We feel so lucky to have found Ilda and would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, insightful, and experienced caregiver.

I’ve been babysitting and nannying since middle school, whether for a family here and there, or long-term. In high school I nannied for three, pre- and elementary school-aged boys. Twice a week for three years I picked them up from school, took them to swimming, tennis, or soccer lessons, and helped with homework. Over the summer, I worked at Bear Mountain Stables where I took children on horseback rides through the mountains and held private lessons for children 6-12 years-old. During my undergrad, I was an RA and head RA. I have a master’s degree from Western Washington University and taught ENG 101 for two years. I also worked at a youth coach at VITAL climbing gym for 2 years where I taught children aged 8-17 to climb safely indoors. The no b also required activity planning, encouraging teamwork, encouraging commitment and hard work, and deescalation. I currently work full time remotely for an online magazine, but am looking for the occasional weekday job (my hours are very flexible).

Thanks for helping out!

My name is Emylee. I am an incoming sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania interested in studying criminology and I am 189 years old. I am originally from Seattle, Washington, but my family moved to rural Idaho when I was in eighth grade. Before I graduated from high school I would constantly babysit my younger siblings, who were anywhere from infants to 10 years old. I have some experience with babies and I am very patient and do not mind crying or anything like that. I am willing to work with parents to figure out hours that will work for both of us. I have had pets including a fish, rodents, and a couple of dogs. I am willing to help with homework, clean, and do fun activities with those I am watching.
