Tanya $15 per hour for 1 child

My name is Tanya, and I am the mother of two (daughter 17 and son 3). I would like to put my name out there for childcare for your little ones. Ideally, your child(ren) could come to my house, but I can also go to yours. I do have my 3 year old little guy who would be there or come with me. I am located in Fairwood Greens community in Renton, WA, and my home is a smoke free and no pets. All of us (except my 3 year old) are fully vaccinated. I can help with date nights, or I am even open to exploring an ongoing thing if there is someone who works nights or weekends and needs help. I know it can be hard to find childcare for those off hours. I have every other Friday off as well so a daytime slot could work there as well. I am happy to go over timing in more detail though. If you are interested and would like to chat more and get to know me beforehand, feel free to message me. We could even meet up at the park for a little meet and greet before you make any decisions. 😊

Elizabeth $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been babysitting and working with children for most of my life, and am at a place where I'm ready to start working for new families again! I have a Masters in Public Health and am finishing up my job running food access programs with the YMCA, where I have been working for the last five years, and am about to go back to school for a nursing degree! I previously have worked as a preschool teacher, before-and after-school childcare provider, and nanny for families with children from infants to teens. For years had families I regularly did date night sitting for, and I looking to get back into that. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and have taught both gymnastics and swim lessons to all ages. I miss working with kids, and am looking forward to getting back into it! I also have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats (and love both!), and am happy to provide pet care as well.
