Elizabeth $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello folks! I am Elizabeth and am so excited to meet you! I am happy to offer child care, senior care, and household services. I have a car and am available to help with driving tasks. I have over five years of experience in healthcare. As a float pool nurse, I worked in units all across the age spectrum from adolescent psychiatry to geriatric care. Therefore, I am very comfortable working with children and folks of all ages and abilities. I have my basic and advanced life support licenses and an overall focus on the well-being and joy of those I interact with. Additionally, I have a background in outdoor education. I’ve worked as camp counselor, soccer coach, and as well as a facilitator for team building workshops. I love to be outside and I love to help others explore the world around them in order to discover and grow into themselves. Happy to work with families with dogs, but I am allergic to cats. Thank you!

Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Edmonds, 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!”

TAMARA $18 per hour for 1 child

I am a caregiver by nature. Beyond being a parent, I have also provided afterschool care and I teach at a preschool part time. I love engaging kids in playful activities and going on adventures. I love crafts and games. I host kids in my outdoor play area as well. I hope to serve as many people as I can. I think it is imperative that kids get a chance to play with others in order to learn crucial skills for their future. I would like the opportunity to share time exploring and creating fun memories while learning new skills with your child. I am a fan of the Reggio Emilia approach to learning and will follow the child's interests. Feel free to contact me with any questions- Tamara

Kye 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Edmonds, WA

I am a 34 year old full time stay at home mom to a 15 month old little girl! She is quite active and loves to play with other kids. If you need sitting during M-F during the day then she will need to come with me! Open to sitting in your home or mine! During the evenings or on weekends, she will NOT be with me! I am currently a nanny twice weekly to a 2 year old little girl! Previously I have worked as a behavior specialist to special needs children for 4 years and worked as a substitute teacher. I have been babysitting for 20+ years and worked as a nanny for 3 months full time as well to two children aged 4 and an infant during that time. I am fully CPR certified. I am raising my daughter bilingual (English and Spanish) and happy to encourage this teaching as well if you like. I focus on hands on learning and playing. Singing, dancing, interactive toys like puzzles and blocks, writing skills, and more. Open to helping with whatever you need whether that is getting them ready for the day, running errands, light household chores, diaper changing and potty training, meal prepping, etc! I am also very comfortable with all types of pets and have a dog myself. I have a degree in neuroscience/human sciences.

“Kye was excellent with my 6 mo anxiety ridden sweet baby. She came to give me a reprieve and let me get some tasks done. She was so gentle with him singing songs and interacting to calm him. Great communicator and on time. I am so impressed I immediately recommended her to my sister and another friend with a similarly aged baby. I feel confident in her and would recommend her to you, too.”

"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!"
