My name is Mwai. I am an ex-teacher who has worked with children aged between 2 months and 10 years old over a period of 4 years. I am offering weekend child care and senior care services. My responsibilities include tutoring, helping with homework, cooking, cleaning and driving children around. I have experience helping parents potty train their children, helping with bedtime routine, morning routine, and helping with different after school activities.
Hi, my name is Diana! I’m 30 years old and hold a bachelor’s degree in Educational Psychology. I’m currently working as an early preschool teacher, and I’m passionate about children’s development and the many ways they learn. I love exploring how kids think, feel, express themselves, and how to best support their growth. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children—as both a nanny and during my college years. I’ve also worked as a Spanish and English teacher, as well as with larger groups of children, so I feel confident creating engaging activities for all ages. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include crafts, painting, science experiments, puzzles, board games, and outdoor sports. I also enjoy helping with homework, teaching Spanish, encouraging positive behavior, and offering light household support. I’m fully vaccinated and certified in CPR, First Aid, and MERIT by Early Learning Professionals in Washington. I’d love to bring creativity, patience, and fun into your child’s day while making sure they feel safe and supported.
“Diana was our son's nanny for a year and she was the best! Always arrived on time, quick to learn our routine, knew what to do with little instruction, was a self-starter. We trusted our son with her and let her lead with which activities to do at home. She was pretty much the perfect nanny for us. We definitely recommend her.”
Pet care only: I’ve lived with cats and dogs growing up so I love taking care of them. Currently working for a flexible company so my work hours are flexible.
“Yadi was able to take care of my cat on short notice. It’s been nothing short of a great experience - Yadi is great at communicating and updating me to make sure I felt comfortable! My cat also seemed to really enjoy his time with her 😄”
My name is Michelle! I have experience working with children from infants to preschoolers. I am a kind individual who understands children's feelings and emotions, and I will ensure they feel safe. My greatest strength is encouraging children’s growth through structured play, learning activities, and exploration.
“Michelle cared for our two year old daughter and was lovely. Would definitely hire her again.”
Hi families! I’m Dakaysia (Kaysia), I have one child (7 years old) and I’ve spent many years babysitting and caring for kids of all ages including handling multiple children at once. I’m a calm, patient person who genuinely enjoys being around kids and creating a fun, safe space for them. I also have personal experience caring for my autistic nephew, which has helped me learn how to be extra understanding, flexible, and supportive with different needs and personalities. I’m really good at reading the room, keeping routines smooth, and making sure every child feels comfortable and included. With my background in serving and bartending, I’m great at multitasking, staying organized, and keeping things running even when it’s a little hectic. Whether we’re doing crafts, homework, playing games, or winding down for bedtime, I show up with a positive attitude and a lot of patience. I’m reliable, easy to talk to, and always try to make things easier for parents. Whether you need occasional help or more regular support, I’d love to connect with your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your little ones! I have plenty of professional and personal references I can provide upon request.
“Kaysia is calm, protective, professional and sweet person who came in and care for our newborn as if she known us for a long time. Hard days or good days, she showed up and will get it done so I can work and keep my little one close to me during the precious time. Booking her if you want someone care for the kids as her own. Ans she stays calm even on the chaotic days! Thank you Kaysia!”

"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
