Booked by 5 families in Retsil, WA

Hi! I’m Amber and I’m a teacher that’s looking to help out families after school and on weekends! I’m interested in providing childcare, pet care, and/or household services! I’ve been teaching for the last 7 years in public schools. Prior to teaching I worked in childcare running the infant classroom and floating amongst the toddler-age classrooms. I also have experience working with children in special education so I feel very comfortable working with all ages and ability levels! Both my educational and work background almost exclusively revolve around children and have allowed me to develop an excellent set of knowledge and personable skills for working with kids. I feel very comfortable and confident caring for all ages!

“Amber is fantastic. She’s communicative, prompt, and easy to work with. She’s flexible and has tons of practical experience working with children. The kids had a great time with her and want her back soon! ”

Booked by 4 families in Retsil, WA

Hi! My name is Halima, and I offer childcare services. I recently applied to medical school with the goal of becoming a pediatrician as caring for and supporting children has always been a passion of mine. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, caring for kids of all ages, from infants to older children. As the oldest sibling in my family, I also gained hands-on experience by helping care for my younger siblings. My responsibilities have included meal prep, feeding, diaper changes, playtime, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I’m comfortable managing bedtime and nap time and can follow any routine you already have in place. Beyond babysitting, I’ve worked closely with children in educational settings. I’ve taught reading in an elementary school reading program, volunteered as a coach for a running program, taught at weekend school, led kids through fun science experiments, and tutored students in math. These experiences have strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to understand how different children learn and express themselves. I make sure to arrive on time and prepared, keeping families informed so everything runs smoothly. With each child, I pay attention to what they need and respond in ways that make them feel heard and supported. I take the time to learn their routines, favorite activities, and personalities, and I adjust my approach so they feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m excited to meet your family and would love the opportunity to support you and your little one!
