Jo Yee $35 per hour for 1 child

My background includes supporting families with children on consistent routines, balancing the needs of multiple kids, and ensuring safe, engaging days filled with age‑appropriate activities. I’m confident in managing feedings, diaper changes, and maintaining sleep schedules while keeping play areas tidy. I also enjoy preparing healthy meals and supporting household routines, including washing bottles and baby dishes, so parents can relax and enjoy their weekends. Families I’ve worked with value my calm and caring presence, especially during busy moments when infants and toddlers need different kinds of attention at the same time. I’m also comfortable driving around Seattle for outings or errands if needed. I’d love to become a trusted partner in your children’s care and bring a joyful, nurturing energy to your home.

Jenn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jennifer, I am 24 years old and currently living in Bothell. I truly enjoy spending time with children, as I find in them a sense of adventure and curiosity that I continue to carry within myself. I offer occasional childcare during weekends and weekday evenings and have experience caring for children from 4 months old up to 14 years old; I am infant qualified and have accumulated over 2,500 hours of hands-on childcare experience. My background includes working as a children’s swimming instructor, nanny, arts and crafts facilitator, and summer camp teacher. I am a confident driver, a strong swimmer, and I am CPR certified. I genuinely enjoy engaging children in meaningful and fun activities such as visiting playgrounds, having picnics, playing board games and miming games, and even introducing them to Spanish in a natural and playful way.
