I am a passionate childcare provider with over 2 decades of experience nurturing and educating young minds. Child development led me to this rewarding career that leads me to provide reliable support to families. My strengths lie in my patience, creativity and friendly nature to easily connect with children. I follow parents' instructions and respect their parenting style. My English is basic. I speak Spanish.
Hey y’all Parents of little People! I’m Dennise! I’m an a country gal (Palmdale, CA) whose also an accountant, public relations communicator, Council carrier. A mother (3 - grown-ups), grandmother of 3, avid reader, story teller, writer, gardener, lover of nature and animals, and yes little people (children). I’ve worked concession as a parent volunteer in Girl Scouts, at the Ventura Fairgrounds for a dinosaur exhibition, an interactive promotional tour at Six Flags to rollout GoTarts. Manning children’s events at trade shows, and company picnics throughout Georgia, California and Washington. Great at multi tasking, story time, outdoor activities and helping little people to see their world and themselves in imaginative and creative way. I used to be a helicopter parent, that 3rd one at 35 slowed my roll!! Now I just love to see the babes that belong to someone else!
“I would recommend Denise Gant. she do have experience. She's very professional and reliability and what she do I would recommend her to anyone who asks me”
Hi, my name is Kaleen. I just relocated to Seattle from Florida. I am a mother of a 22 year-old son, a 17 year-old daughter, and my little guy is Jakob who is 5 1/2 years old. I share custody so there are plenty of opportunities for me to pick up shifts when I don't have him. With that being said, I don't have any certifications for childcare training. I have raised three amazing children. I am CPR certified in adults and children. I am a veteran, student, I am kind, patient, loving, dependable, honest, hardworking, and I can assure you that your children will be in great hands. I have been in the healthcare field for 25 years working in hospital settings, emergency settings, in-home caregiver settings, and everything pharmacy related. I have completed one year of nursing school, hoping to finish the last year and work with chemotherapy patients. As a single mom, I understand most people cannot afford $25+ an hour, I can't either, so I am willing to be flexible with payments and rates. I have an SUV, so I can run errands or take your kiddos out to wherever you might love to go! Or maybe some of mine and Jake's favorite places. Please don't hesitate to ask any and all questions.
“Kaleen is was very responsive from beginning to end which I appreciated. This was my first time leaving my 6 month old with a non-family member and I was STRESSED to be honest! She put me at ease and the results speak for themselves. My baby cries and cries when anyone but me holds him and by the time Kaleen was done he was smiling and content. She put in the work to get my son to relax which in turn helped me relax. She was punctual, and comfortable with my animals. Respectful of the home. I would recommend her and would feel confident having her watch my son again.”
Hello I'm Nolubabalo(Babsie), a dedicated and experienced household assistant with a passion for cooking and cleaning. I also have experience caring for elderly individuals and am eager to provide compassionate support. I'm a responsible and trustworthy individual with a warm smile and a keen eye for detail. I'm available to work with families and individuals who need assistance with household tasks and caregiving responsibilities. I'm allergic to dogs and cats, but happy to discuss arrangements if needed. Let's work together to create a happy and healthy home environment.
I have three children of my own but they are older now. 😉I am an elementary teacher and enjoy being with kids. It would be great to enjoy littles outside of the school setting. I can be structured but also fun. I know how difficult it is to be a parent and I’d love to help you out with being with your littles. I enjoy being outdoors.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
