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.

Minayo $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’ve spent the past year working with kids at YMCA Extended Care and Summer Camp, where I learned how to connect with all kinds of personalities. I love creating a safe, supportive space where kids can be themselves, have fun, and feel cared for. Families often describe me as patient, attentive, and kind, I truly enjoy helping kids grow. I am also a cat-owner and can provide basic pet care!

Debbie $30 per hour for 1 child

I have worked in school districts for 10 years plus. Most of it was with special education, children. For the last five years, I’ve taken care of my very sick husband.. He goes to Dialysis three times a week of which I have already put into the hours I can work and he also has short-term memory loss. I have a great deal of patience and empathy for those that are younger and those that may have minor mental and emotional problems. I take very seriously what it is that I do. I do not consider these individuals as lesser people. I especially love children. I have 10 grandchildren, and I taught all of them how to swim. I was a major part in their lives and as a result of my support as has been told to me by my children, my grandchildren are stable and productive individuals in the society. But I mostly love and enjoy little one’s handicapped or not.
