Elizabeth $23 per hour for 1 child
I am a nurse and have been working for 6 years. I have worked the longest (and currently work) in primary care which includes children of all ages. Prior to my nursing degree, I was a nanny and caregiver throughout college (4 years), and I babysat in high school too (all ages). I am hoping to offer nanny services on my off days to help save for our own little one in the next year or so :) I love children of all ages and am excited to meet new families!

Booked by 1 family in Lake Forest Park, WA
Hello my name is Marley! I went to school for Music Education. I have been working with children for over ten years. I am grateful for each opportunity to learn what makes kids excited about learning, and exploring the natural world. I have been a camp counselor, a private flute teacher, and a music intern in two elementary schools and one middle school. I will be student teaching next fall 2027. I would love to be able to help care for the kids in the community.
“Marley was wonderful with our 4-year-old! She is so patient and really knows how to play with kids — she even brought her own toys, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our daughter had a blast and by the end of the visit they were like best friends; she didn't want Marley to leave! We'd happily book her again.”

I also have experience providing care and support to elders. I am comfortable and confident managing and taking care of multiple people (and pets!) at once. I also have plenty of housekeeping and cleaning experience. I love working with people and getting to know families!
