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.

Booked by 40 families in Mountlake Terrace, WA

Hello, my name is Lisa (AnnaLisa). I'm an experienced, reliable, and fun caregiver looking for further opportunities to continue working with families. My B.A. degrees from UC Santa Barbara in Psychology & Communications with a focus on child development pushes me to positively change the lives of children. I have been a caregiver of newborns to teenagers for 19+ years in a variety of environments: schools, babysitting, daycare facilities, community centers and nannying. My previous roles include Campus Manager, Extended Care Coordinator and Instructional Aide at a private IB Reggio Italian Immersion Elementary School working on the administrative side, as well as collaborating in the classroom, recess and after school programs. I was previously a Behavior Therapist for children (specifically with Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder) in underserved schools leading to my strong belief a naturalistic environment of learning should be safe, creative, enjoyable, and a place of growth. When working on my credentials, I spent two years as a full-time nanny for a girl (3-5 years old). I transitioned to be a Kindergarten teacher for a pod group supporting virtual learning during the pandemic. In 2021, I moved to Seattle in a new field as a Project Manager for a brand marketing company, and looking to stay to my roots by caring for families in my free time. I was previously the Head Coach for Girls Leading Girls soccer non-profit that focuses on life skills through sports. Through the years my concentration has been in three main areas: skills development, leadership training and character building. I am trained CPR/First Aid certified from my time as a Swim Instructor at the JCC. In my free time I enjoy crafting, cooking, yoga, writing, boxing, pickleball, and being out in the sun. My life passions are demonstrated by world travels, giant library of books, and long history working with children of all ages (newborn - early teens).

“Annalisa was a great sitter for our daughter. She brought activities with her and jumped right into caring for the kid while we finished getting ready. We would definitely recommend her services to anyone who wants a responsive, well rounded caregiver for their kiddo.”

"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!"
