Kiara $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lake Stevens, WA

Howdy! My name is Kiara, and thank you for considering me to watch some of the most valuable beings in your life. I am 22 years old, and grew up as the eldest in my family with 2 significantly younger sisters, and several cousins, whom I have helped keep an eye on. Children bring a sense of wonder and curiosity many adults have lost, which is why I believe it is our responsibility as caretakers to responsibly foster these traits in a safe environment. I believe the best way to do this is to play, imagine, discover, and grow with those whom I watch. They have as much to teach me, as I do to them. Pets are family too, which is why I understand the love and compassion needed to care take for them as well. From walks, to playtime, or even cleaning up after accidents, I am here to care for them in your steed as you go on adventures of your own!

Brittney $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Britt, and I'm a kind and reliable caregiver based in Everett, Washington. I have 10 years of childcare experience, including 6 years as a full-time nanny and household manager to a family with 3 children. I bring with me a range of experience, caring for newborns through age 16. I offer live-out nanny/sitter services on an occasional basis. My goal is to establish relationships with a few local families who need a trusted person as-needed, or as a backup in a pinch. My experience will bring you peace of mind that your kiddos are in caring hands. I strive to help parents by providing a safe and playful space for their kiddos, ensuring needs are met. I understand that each child is a unique individual who needs to be met where they are at. I have experience with children who are highly sensitive, have ADHD, and high-functioning autism. I am CPR and first-aid certified, and have experience in crisis prevention and intervention. Whether its reading stories, making art, exploring the outdoors, building with Legos, or snuggling up for a movie, I am enthusiastic and ready to engage in whatever ways your child enjoys. I love implementing creative activities and encourage curiosity through play and hands-on learning. If you need a dependable, trustworthy caregiver, feel free to message me. I would love to discuss your needs and the way I can help your family.
