Frances $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in La Center, WA

Hi! I'm Halo, a senior at Western Washington University, home in Vancouver for the summer. My time as a summer camp counselor has taught me a lot about kids of various ages, and how to manage all sorts of situations. What I love about working with kids is getting to see how they understand the world! It has always been really important to me to understand multiple perspectives, and I think the viewpoint children have is super important. I am also very interested in keeping kids entertained without screens! I love reading, board games, and playing outside, especially if we can work some learning opportunities into that play. Please don't hesitate to reach out for more information! I would also love to work with animals. I have the most experience with dogs and cats, but I am a very quick learner (and willing to do research on my own!).

Hi! My name is Angie and I've been working with kids for over four years. I spent a year working at a daycare before becoming a nanny, and I've had the privilege of working with two wonderful families. I am moving to Vancouver for a Bible internship and would love an opportunity to help with anyone seeking childcare. I'm attentive, patient, communicative, dependable, and love engaging with kids while playing, reading, going on adventures, and other fun activities.

"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!"
