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.

Cynthia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Cindy, proud mother of 4 sons. My boys were raised in Bothell where we attended cooperative schools from preschool through elementary school. I was blessed to be a stay at home mom which gave me the opportunity to experience the growth, individual needs, and love of many children. We enjoyed many field trips, community service projects, science and art outings. Each child was supported by our team of parents and teachers. I met lifetime friends, and was a nanny for a family of 3 children for 12 years. I also volunteered at Sunday school, and provided care for children in my home. I became an RN in 2013 when family illnesses required the professional skills for at home care. I have worked with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, primary schoolers, teenagers and seniors. My 2 previous 4 legged companions were rescue labs. Recently, I enjoyed my great niece and 3 great nephews ages 2-6 in New Mexico. I was on several "nana drop off lists", and find myself at the kids table as much as possible. I will be an asset to your family and truly delight in your children! I especially love the energy, honesty, curiosity and sweetness of preschoolers!

TAMARA $18 per hour for 1 child

I am a caregiver by nature. Beyond being a parent, I have also provided afterschool care and I teach at a preschool part time. I love engaging kids in playful activities and going on adventures. I love crafts and games. I host kids in my outdoor play area as well. I hope to serve as many people as I can. I think it is imperative that kids get a chance to play with others in order to learn crucial skills for their future. I would like the opportunity to share time exploring and creating fun memories while learning new skills with your child. I am a fan of the Reggio Emilia approach to learning and will follow the child's interests. Feel free to contact me with any questions- Tamara
