Booked by 5 families in Port Orchard, WA

Hi! I’m Amber and I’m a teacher that’s looking to help out families after school and on weekends! I’m interested in providing childcare, pet care, and/or household services! I’ve been teaching for the last 7 years in public schools. Prior to teaching I worked in childcare running the infant classroom and floating amongst the toddler-age classrooms. I also have experience working with children in special education so I feel very comfortable working with all ages and ability levels! Both my educational and work background almost exclusively revolve around children and have allowed me to develop an excellent set of knowledge and personable skills for working with kids. I feel very comfortable and confident caring for all ages!

“Amber is fantastic. She’s communicative, prompt, and easy to work with. She’s flexible and has tons of practical experience working with children. The kids had a great time with her and want her back soon! ”

Hi!, I’m Maryam, and I have over five years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. My mother owns a daycare center, where I have spent years helping and building strong skills in childcare, from infants to school aged kids. These experiences have given me a deep passion for creating safe, loving, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. I am a caring, energetic, and patient person who loves being active and creative with kids whether that means playing games, helping with schoolwork, or encouraging them through arts, crafts, and outdoor activities. I take pride in nurturing children while also supporting their development and independence. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with light housework, organizing, and running errands. I am also trained in CPR and first aid, ensuring I can respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. My love for children goes beyond caregiving I truly enjoy being part of their growth journey and forming positive, trusting relationships with families. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, experience, and passion for childcare into a supportive and nurturing home environment.

“Maryam has been an amazing sitter for my daughter. She's extremely reliable, communicates often and clearly, and my daughter loves playing with her. Absolutely would recommend.”

Hi, I’m Ashley! Im a recent grad school graduate with a flexible schedule and availability during the work week and most weekends. I’ve babysat all throughout my life and love working with kids. I have tutored in math, history and science in the past, as well. I’m very patient, kind, easygoing, organized, and detail oriented so I will be able to provide your child with the care they need while I’m with them. I love animals so I can also help look after any pets as well. I love to cook and bake, so I can make healthy, delicious meals for your child if need be!

“Ashley is a lovely person - she was very kind when babysitting a sick kid staying home from school, and made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing.I would love to work with her again!”

Booked by 1 family in Port Orchard, WA

Hi there! My name is Ellie. I’m 28 years old and I’m from Southern Oregon. I have 10 years of experience working with kids. I am an elementary school ESL teacher with my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and Master’s in Teaching. I have worked with several families over the years, one of which I was with for 5 years back in Oregon. I have babysat a wide range of ages, from infants to middle schoolers. Additionally, I have experience tutoring elementary students, pet/house sitting, and 5 years of experience working in the classroom. I absolutely love working with kids and animals. My partner and I recently moved to Magnolia. I will be teaching elementary during the weekdays, but I would love part time nannying work outside of my weekday work hours (8am-4pm). Please contact me with any questions. I would love to hear from you!

“Ellie is such a genuinely caring and compassionate person. My little one had so much fun with Ellie from the very first moment of meeting her. She had great communication both while preparing for her visit and while she was with our little one. I would highly recommend her!”

Yisel 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Why should a family choose me as a nanny? I am Yisel from Colombia, responsible, honest, fun, open-minded, patient, loving, dedicated, happy and pet friendly person. I love spending time with children, helping them to grow up happy, sharing my culture with them, teaching them my mother tongue and learning new things. I am a language teacher in my country, I speak Spanish, English and French, I worked as a teacher in a daycare for two years and I have experience as a nanny for more than 6 years and 3 years of nanny sharing with the same families, I love helping my children reach their creative potential and develop a harmonic cognitive process. I believe that a variety of activities are essential for the development of children. Also, the closeness to nature and engagement in building things with their own hands will stimulate their eagerness to explore and experiment. I like the key "learning by playing" because it corresponds to reality and what I like doing with children. And you can be sure that your children will have rewarding experiences with me. It would be great to become your friend, contact person, and role model for your children. I love children and care about them, so their well-being and safety are most important to me. What activities would you like to do with your host children? Depending on the ages and the climate, I would do the following activities with the children: • 0 - 6 months: Early stimulation activities with water, sand, tempera and clay. Roll balls with sound, encourage crawling, rhythm with toys, feeding support and nursery rhymes. • 1 - 2 years: Activities that help them develop their early stimulation. Play with water balloons, threading games, fishing afternoon, sandbox, games with music, games with tempera paint and rope toys. • 2 - 5 years: Dance activities to the rhythm of music, building blocks, drawing pictures with different paintings, going up and down steps, drawing, painting silhouettes, taking them to the park, teaching them my mother tongue and helping them are their language.

“Yiyi worked as a part-time nanny for our son when he was 1 to 2 years old until we moved away to California. She is so kind, attentive, easy to work with and be around and helpful. She took our son out on adventures, did art projects with him ( she is a talented artist), read, sang, danced and actively engaged him. She is easy to communicate with, responsive and very reliable. I love that she speaks Spanish and English and exposed our son to Spanish. I don't think she was sick 1 day that she worked with us. She goes above and beyond, when I asked if she would be willing to come over when my husband had to be on a work trip while I was pregnant with our second child and had the flu, she said yes. I am forever thankful for her care during those very hard days. She became a part of our family and we still stay in touch. I highly recommend Yiyi!”

"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!"
