Angie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angie and I've been working with kids for over four years. I spent a year working at a daycare before becoming a nanny, and I've had the privilege of working with two wonderful families. I am moving to Vancouver for a Bible internship and would love an opportunity to help with anyone seeking childcare. I'm attentive, patient, communicative, dependable, and love engaging with kids while playing, reading, going on adventures, and other fun activities. I'm comfortable helping with meals, naps, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and anything else that may be needed. I strive to do my best and am confident that I can provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your children. Thank you for considering me and I would love to chat further!

I am originally from Tennessee. I am the a proud mom of a 9 year old daughter, a 24 year old daughter and a 30 year old son! I have spent the majority of my life caring for and raising up children. I have nannied consistently for one family for the last 9 years, ranging over the years from full time to part time. When I started there was only one child and now there are 3! I am a lover of humans, tiny humans, animals, nature, gardening, and books. I use a peaceful, loving approach to childcare and love to just be silly! I would love to hang out with your little ones...i enjoy snuggling, hugs, reading, make-believe, language development, arts & crafts and music & dance. I am also willing and available to negotiate rates for help with any aspect of home management: be it cooking, caring for pets, cleaning, laundry or organizing! I am also open and accepting of blended families ♡ I owned a cleaning business for 10 years in Nashville, before moving to Washington. I have enjoyed many lovely, constructive interpersonal relationships with my clients throughout the years. I greatly enjoy networking in my community and building meaningful long-lasting relationships. I can also be flexible with my rates, depending on your budget. Finding the right fit and building authentic relationships are my utmost priority. I'm available for a part time schedule and can be super flexible. I would love the option to integrate my 9 year old into our care arrangements, although not necessary. She is very personable & enjoys making friends of all ages. I can provide abundant contact information for character references or you can have a look at my LinkedIn profile, where several of my clients have left professional recommendations. I would love the opportunity to meet and greet with you and your kiddos! I look forward to the enrichment of each of our lives as we join journeys :)

“Dawn is fantastic! We will definitely hire her again.”

Frances $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Battle Ground, WA

Hi! I'm Halo, a senior at Western Washington University, home in Vancouver for the summer. My time as a summer camp counselor has taught me a lot about kids of various ages, and how to manage all sorts of situations. What I love about working with kids is getting to see how they understand the world! It has always been really important to me to understand multiple perspectives, and I think the viewpoint children have is super important. I am also very interested in keeping kids entertained without screens! I love reading, board games, and playing outside, especially if we can work some learning opportunities into that play. Please don't hesitate to reach out for more information! I would also love to work with animals. I have the most experience with dogs and cats, but I am a very quick learner (and willing to do research on my own!).

"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!"
