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 Nataysia, and I’m a dependable, caring, and patient sitter who truly enjoys working with children. I have experience helping families create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids of all ages. Whether it’s assisting with homework, keeping little ones entertained, or maintaining routines, I always strive to make both parents and children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and excited to help families however I can!
I'm a licensed Esthetician and also have 4 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter. I have also worked in the health field as a nursing assistant. In the past, I lived in Hawaii as a full-time nanny caring for a 1- year old and 3- year old giving full time care and some overnight care. I also have nannied for a family with twins. I'm CPR + First Aid certified and have extensive experience with children of all ages. I'm skilled in meal prep, diaper changes, sleep strategies, and I have my own car. I'm patient, enjoy building connections with kids, and am comfortable with all kinds of personalities. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call!

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. I'm comfortable helping with meals, naps, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and anything else that may be needed. I strive to do my best and am confident that I can provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your children. Thank you for considering me and I would love to chat further!

"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."
