I am 28 years old. I have worked with children from infants through school age. Former teacher at Kindercare, and am background checked through the Department of Early Learning. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant in the state of Washington. I am also CPR certified for infants through adults. I love story time and tasks that use the children’s imaginations. I have a passion for helping children learn new things and grow. I also love taking the children to the park, zoo, etc. so they can have fun and use up their energy in a positive way. I am also a mother of two and my oldest is level 2 on the autism spectrum and has adhd so I do have lots of experience with special needs as well.
Hi! 😊 My name is Sandra and I am currently working as an au pair in Edmonds (Seattle). I am looking for babysitting/nanny opportunities in my free time to earn some extra income. I have experience caring for children of different ages through my studies in Early Childhood and Primary Education, as well as school internships and real classroom experience. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, helping them learn, play, and feel safe. A bit about me: • Responsible, caring and patient • Experience with infants and primary school children • Fluent in Spanish and English • Comfortable with routines, homework help, and creative activities • Flexible schedule (evenings and weekends) I would love to support a family that needs occasional babysitting or a regular nanny. References available upon request. Feel free to message me if you think I could be a good fit for your family!
“She is always sweet and always does her best with 3 wild children including an infant. She has came through last minute many times and has stayed later with no complaints. I highly recommend!”
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!”

Hello! I’m Kaje (Pronounced Cage), a warm, grounded, and dependable caregiver with naturally sunny disposition and nearly 50 years of hands-on experience. I truly believe that children teach us how to play, animals teach us how to love, and our elders teach us how to live. Childcare & Family Support: As a parent and proud grandparent to two wonderful kids (ages 4 and 5), I bring decades of real-world experience in creating safe, engaging, and joyful environments. My caregiving journey started early with neighborhood babysitting, and today I love being an active, steady presence for the playful and wise ones in my life. Whether reading stories, assisting with daily routines, facilitating creative play, or helping with after-school pickups, I meet children with patience, warmth, and genuine care. Senior & Elder Care: I hold our older generations in the highest regard. Seniors possess an incredible wealth of wisdom, life experience, and relevance that deserves deep respect and reverence. I cared for my grandmother while she was in elder care, and I had the profound privilege of providing full late-stage and end-of-life care for my mother. This included managing complex medication routines (including pain management under medical guidance), maintaining personal comfort and dignity, and offering steady emotional presence. I bring that same gentleness, honor, and attentive care to every senior I support. Pet Care & Sentient Companions: Animals are extraordinary, intelligent sentient beings, and I adore caring for them. I am a lifelong dog owner—previously loving an abused Pitbull, and currently sharing my home with our chiweener . I provide attentive pet sitting, walking, feeding, and genuine companionship for your furry family members. Communication, Emotional Balance & Household Support: With 20 years as a certified life coach, I bring strong emotional grounding and clear communication to every role. I excel at staying calm and centered—helping young children navigate big emotions while offering parents transparent, reliable updates. In addition to caregiving, I am happy to assist with household errands, grocery runs, and light organization to keep your home running smoothly. Whether your family needs trusted childcare, compassionate senior companionship, pet care, or dependable errand support, I look forward to bringing warmth and stability to your home.

"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!"
