Booked by 1 family in Bothell, WA

Hi! My name is Kelly. I have over 6 years of experience working with children, and I currently work full-time as a Marketing Director at a school. Since we're on summer break, I'm looking for an opportunity to earn some extra income. I've cared for children of all ages, with extensive experience caring for infants and toddlers. As a native Spanish speaker, I would love the opportunity to introduce your little ones to a new language. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and keeping them engaged through fun indoor and outdoor activities. I also have a clean driving record and can provide excellent references. I look forward to connecting with you and your family! 😊🌟

“Definitely hire her again. She was on time and very sweet to our 13 months old boy. The whole family like her. ”

Yenethun $30 per hour for 1 child

About Me Hello! I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible caregiver who enjoys helping families and making their lives easier. I offer childcare, senior care, and household assistance, and I take pride in providing a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment. I am also a mother of two children whom I raised on my own. This experience has given me valuable firsthand knowledge of caring for children, managing a household, and supporting their growth and development as a single parent. My children are now grown: one is in college, and the other is in high school. I understand how important it is for parents to find someone they can trust with their children. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for. In addition to childcare, I have experience as a professional driver and can assist with transportation, errands, meal preparation, and household tasks. I also have experience caring for seniors and understand the importance of treating older adults with kindness, dignity, and respect. Whether you need help caring for your children, supporting an older family member, preparing meals, or keeping your household organized, I would be happy to help. My goal is to give families peace of mind by being reliable, compassionate, and helpful.
