Caring for children has been my passion for over 10 years. I started babysitting at 13, volunteered with children at church throughout high school, and have built my career around professional childcare ever since. From 2[removed], I worked as a live-in au pair in the United States, caring for children full-time. After returning to Germany, I continued working as a full-time nanny for three children while attending university. I later returned to the U.S. as a live-in nanny and now work as a professional nanny. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and with families of many different sizes. Beyond childcare, I've managed daily routines, prepared meals, driven children to activities, helped with homework, taught early reading skills, supported potty training, organized household tasks, and served as a household manager and family assistant. My childcare philosophy is built on patience, consistency, and respect. I believe children deserve to be listened to and spoken to with kindness. I set clear expectations while taking the time to explain things in a way they can understand, helping them build confidence, independence, and strong communication skills. Families describe me as dependable, calm, organized, and genuinely invested in helping their children thrive. Whether you need ongoing care or dependable last-minute backup care, I'll provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your children.

Hello Parents, I work full-time as a Program Manager and offer nanny services as a side job—something that brings me great joy. As a mother of two, I understand how important it is to provide children with nurturing care, patience, and gentle guidance. Spending time with kids is truly fulfilling for me. Their curiosity, laughter, and pure hearts are inspiring, and I cherish every moment I get to support their growth and well-being. It would be an honor to care for your little ones and support your family’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can best help. Warm regards, Mandana

My name is Mary and I grew up originally in Sherwood, OR and I have nannied and babysat for multiple years for family and connections found through family/friends. I am currently in working part time and am looking to help families in my community with babysitting, running errands, nannying, chores, etc. to supplement student loans. I am a very upbeat person and I also believe in low screen time for kids especially under the age of 3. I love planning crafts, games, walks to the park, and any other activities mom and dad are on board for! I currently work part time as a Horticulturist and am looking for subsequent hours for Wednesdays-Sundays.

Hi, my name is Alessandra and I’m a Junior at UW offering child care services! I absolutely love working with children and grew up as the oldest in a big family, so caring for kids has always been a natural part of my life.

I’m energetic, patient, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building connections with kids. I’m comfortable with pets, light household tasks, and helping with homework or activities. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive environment!

Hi! I’m Lyndsay and I have been working in child care for the past fifteen years. I now have my own children, 6 year old boy and in first grade and a 2 year old girl who is my little sidekick. I am offering part time childcare. I have experience with all age groups! Before I became a mom, I was a nanny full time and even after that I continued doing a nanny share. That is also what I am hoping to find here! Things I love to do with kids both big and small are playing outside, doing art projects, gym classes, imaginative play and exploring new playgrounds.
