Noora $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Noora, and I am a new graduate Registered Nurse with almost two years of experience working in a licensed home childcare setting and 3 years on Care. com. Working with children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I love creating a safe and fun environment where kids can comfortably learn, and play. My approach to childcare is creative and individualized. Every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their personalities, interests, and what helps them thrive. I love finding fun and engaging activities that match each child's unique needs. I do not smoke, have reliable transportation and CPR verified. I am comfortable with pets but unfortunately allergic to cats. As the oldest sibling in my family, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I value open communication and building trusting relationships with both children and parents. I'd describe my personality as caring, creative, and understanding. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, going to the beach, and spending time with family and friends. Looking forward to be apart of your child's care!

Booked by 1 family in Arlington, 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.

Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Arlington, WA

I grew up in a big family, and from a young age I was able to gain experience in child care. It would later be something that I really enjoy and continue to want to do. I’ve generally worked with toddlers and younger kids but I love kids of all ages. I love taking them outside to play in the sun or creating art indoors. In my free time I like to read, workout, and spend time with family and friends. I mostly have availability during the weekends and some occasional week nights

My 2.5 yo had a great time with Grace! I would definitely love to have her back!

I am enthusiastic and positive and love getting to know children and their families!
