Hi families! My name is Andrea Bonilla, but everyone calls me Andy. I’m originally from Colombia and I’m 28 years old. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Colombia and I’m currently continuing my studies in Psychology at Seattle Central College. I have over 4 years of experience caring for children between 0 and 13 years old. I’m an active, patient, creative, and cheerful person who truly enjoys spending time with kids. I love singing, playing, and creating fun and educational activities. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including feeding through a G-tube.

Booked by 1 family in Indianola, WA

Hi families! My name is Remi, and I am an enthusiastic childcare professional with over five years of experience. I am currently a student at the University of Washington and work as both a substitute teacher and nanny. I began my journey in childcare at a center where I worked with all age groups, from infants to school-age children. I later became a lead teacher of a toddler classroom and transitioned to leading a preschool classroom at another center. I hold an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education as well as the following certifications: Certificate in State Early Childhood Education and Certificate of Specialization in State Short Early Childhood Education - General. Other relevant certifications include First Aid, Pediatric and Adult CPR US, and Food Handler Permit. I am deeply passionate about fostering diversity and creating inclusive, mindful environments for children. I strive to promote culturally sensitive practices and take the time to learn about the families I work with to better meet their needs. Working with children has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love being part of their growth and development, and I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

I highly recommend Remi! She has been an incredible support to our family, especially during the early days when my baby was a newborn. Whether it was during the day or late at night, Remi was always there, providing the care and help I needed. Her experience and confidence in handling babies are truly remarkable. She knows exactly how to calm, comfort, and care for little ones, even in the most challenging moments. Her calm demeanor and nurturing personality made a world of difference for me as a new parent. Remi is dependable, attentive, and always follows instructions carefully. She also offered helpful advice based on her experience, which was reassuring. Knowing that my baby was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to rest and focus when I needed to. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and experienced, Remi is the perfect choice. I would not hesitate to hire her again—she’s truly exceptional!

Booked by 1 family in Indianola, WA

Hi - I’m Joey - I'm 61 and full of energy! I am offering child care and household services. Also- special event services/catering, party help. I'm semi-retired, after some amazing careers (from clothing design, baby boutique owner, event planning to catering)- and now I'm focusing on my art and working part time at a few of my interests. I spend a lot of time in nature walking and hiking with my dog Blue- rain or shine. (Also, spend a lot of time at Pickleball!) I love babies and kids- I'm a very patient, helpful, friendly person and love meeting new people. My adult daughters always tell me that I should be a caregiver/babysitter/nanny. I'm happy to help with homework, reading, doing crafts, going for walks etc. My baby/child care started very early- When I was 10 my mom had #5 and basically handed her over. We are very close now still. I can cook, clean, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I have helped my 81 year mother quite a bit and am comfortable with senior care. I have always had dogs and cats and am happy to take care of those as well! I have current CPR and First Aid certificates. Love to meet in person! Joey

Joey helped us out on very short notice. I really appreciated her flexibly, since I hadn't had time to really make plans. She got along great with our toddler and was warm, attentive, and professional.
