Jennifer $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! I’m Jennifer but go by Jenny. I just finished my senior year at Bellevue High. I grew up taking care of my cousins of all ages, so I have acquired a great deal of patience. Recently I have volunteered at our local boys and girls club in their preschool (daycare) and loved every second of it! I enjoy creative activities such as arts and crafts. I’ve been told to have great charisma and to have an admirable presence :) I have been driving for a little over a year now with a clean record! In my free time, I love writing music or playing the piano, as well as spending time outdoors!

Jenn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jennifer, I am 24 years old and currently living in Bothell. I truly enjoy spending time with children, as I find in them a sense of adventure and curiosity that I continue to carry within myself. I offer occasional childcare during weekends and weekday evenings and have experience caring for children from 4 months old up to 14 years old; I am infant qualified and have accumulated over 2,500 hours of hands-on childcare experience. My background includes working as a children’s swimming instructor, nanny, arts and crafts facilitator, and summer camp teacher. I am a confident driver, a strong swimmer, and I am CPR certified. I genuinely enjoy engaging children in meaningful and fun activities such as visiting playgrounds, having picnics, playing board games and miming games, and even introducing them to Spanish in a natural and playful way.

Alyssa $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I am a middle school teacher (cooking-- yes, it exists!) with nearly twelve years in the classroom. Originally from the midwest, I spent many summers growing up working as a nanny, babysitting for neighbors, and eventually working in summer camps and a daycare for four years during college. I have always been in roles working with children of various ages, and my career in education has allowed me to continue fulfilling my passion. I teach my students how to cook, shop, and plan meals for themselves, in hopes of giving them confidence in the kitchen. I love what I do, even on the most chaotic days! You can expect me to drive myself to your home, arrive on time, interact and engage with your children, follow the directions you provide, and leave a clean house. My teacher "toolbox" allows me to adapt and create fun activities for us to do, related to the age and abilities of your child(ren). I love creating memories with your kids while you enjoy your time away, giving you peace of mind and the freedom to focus on yourself. I am happy to do what I can around the house to help support your family, as well as take care of any pets you may have. I have 3 dogs myself, and am comfortable with a variety of tasks necessary to keep your animals happy.
