$24 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Kirkland, WA

Nanny with many years of varied experience available for one child (age 3+). I genuinely enjoy talking with kids and standing back a little to allow them to grow and bloom. I love reading (same book, ten times in a row!), art and literacy. I would be interested in helping a child where primary language in the home is not English (I have TESOL certificate). Zero interest in screen time, for myself or for the child. I enjoy physical activity and being outdoors. Excellent companion to any child who might benefit from occasional hours of one-on-one attention during periods of transition or overwhelm. Thank you!

Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, WA

Hi! I'm Nobuhle, 27. I am looking for parttime & occasional jobs on weekends & weekdays after 2pm till the evening. I am already working full time but looking for more hours in the afternoon! I have been doing childcare for last 6 years, and in the last 2 I have only worked with multiples coincidentally. I was doing a live in position for one year 6 months and have found a passion for childcare. I grew up with a single mother and I know if she could afford childcare I would’ve had a much easier childhood, I believe that it takes a village to raise a child & I want to be apart of your village! I'm a caring, reliable, and energetic nanny who absolutely loves working with kids! My favourite part about childcare is watching the children grow, reach milestones and learning their unique personalities. I'm that sitter who will get on the floor and play, help with homework, handle bedtime without a fuss, and leave the house tidier than I found it. Parents say I'm super patient, responsible, soft spoke and easy to communicate with. Your little ones' safety and happiness are always my #1 priority. I am CPR & first aid trained! With other advanced childcare qualifications! I love creative play, reading stories, outdoor adventures, and making healthy snacks. Happy to help with light meal prep, homework, and bedtime routines. I have had great experiences with families in the past and can provide references and a detailed resume on request. I am open and available for in person and virtual interviews too! I'd love to meet your family! ✨

Booked by 1 family in Kirkland, 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. ”

"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!"
