I’ve been babysitting and nannying since middle school, whether for a family here and there, or long-term. In high school I nannied for three, pre- and elementary school-aged boys. Twice a week for three years I picked them up from school, took them to swimming, tennis, or soccer lessons, and helped with homework. Over the summer, I worked at Bear Mountain Stables where I took children on horseback rides through the mountains and held private lessons for children 6-12 years-old. During my undergrad, I was an RA and head RA. I have a master’s degree from Western Washington University and taught ENG 101 for two years. I also worked at a youth coach at VITAL climbing gym for 2 years where I taught children aged 8-17 to climb safely indoors. The no b also required activity planning, encouraging teamwork, encouraging commitment and hard work, and deescalation. I currently work full time remotely for an online magazine, but am looking for the occasional weekday job (my hours are very flexible).

Thanks for helping out!

Hi! There is no sweeter thing to me then lending a hand to allow families to spend valuable free time making memories. I love to cook, host dinner, run, write and play outside in all kinds of ways. I recently completed my masters in elementary education and while I find the classroom to be a never ending adventure, I am eager to find a role where I can use more of my skills as a household helper. Ask about my experience as a nanny (infant to elementary age), work in multiple professional kitchens, as a housekeeper, and within the nonprofit education world!

My name is River and I am a student at Western Washington University. I am currently getting my bachelor degree in special education and elementary education. I have 5 years of experience working with kids of all ages. I am a gymnastics coach, and I have babysat for many families. I love to hang out with kids and enjoy being active with them! Some of my favorite activities to do while babysitting is play outside, play toys with them, and read to them. I am avaible for date nights, school pickup/drop-off, and just general nannying. I have my CPR certification as well. I also clean houses, run errands, and watch animals. I have been cleaning houses for about a year. I am able to bring my own materials but I prefer to use the products that families are most used to using. I have watched animals here and there.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
