Booked by 1 family in Mountlake Terrace, WA

Hi families! I’m a compassionate and dedicated child care provider with over 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through 5th grade. Whether it’s tummy time, potty training, toddler playdates, or homework help—I’ve done it all! I believe in hands-on, play-based learning that fosters creativity, independence, and big belly laughs. I practice positive discipline, which means I believe in using kindness and mutual respect to create a safe space for kids to be themselves, while also firmly and consistently reinforcing boundaries for safe, inclusive fun! - Certified in Infant/Child/Adult CPR & First Aid
- 100+ hours of formal child care training (MERIT Certified)
- Clean driving record and full coverage insurance

My girls immediately took to Tiffany. There was no hesitation or shyness. Her background as a teacher shone through when she got them into arts and crafts right away. I came home to some beautiful artwork and two tired and happy kiddos! Tiffany is personable, respectful and kind. I will 100% be hiring her again.

Booked by 1 family in Mountlake Terrace, WA

Hi! My name is Sydney. I have worked with children for nearly 8 years. A majority my experience has been working in at a daycare as a school age teacher. Much of that time was helping children with homework and also planning well rounded curriculum. Additionally, I worked as a Home Visitor for Head Start where I gained experience working with children from Birth to 3 years old. I now nanny full time for a 13 month old and have been working with her since she was 4 months old. I would love the opportunity to discuss my experience in more detail!

Mary $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Mary, and I'm looking for a part-time nanny position. I spent 17 years running my own preschool and childcare program, caring for children from newborns through kindergarten. With a business degree and extensive coursework in early childhood education, I bring both professional experience and a true passion for nurturing young minds. I've also had the joy of raising three daughters of my own, all now college graduates, giving me a personal understanding of children's needs. I'm patient, dependable, and love spending time with kids, whether it's reading, playing, helping them learn, or simply making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.
