Hi there! My name is Asma and I can’t wait to work with you. A little about me, I am originally from Ethiopia and eventually made my way to the States in 1998. Since then, I am lucky enough to have birthed 4 beautiful kids here: 3 boys (9, 16, 18) and 1 girl (19)! Aside from the motherhood experience, I’ve worked with seniors and children of all ages for over a decade. I have been employed as an Assistant Teacher at the Goddard School in Snoqualmie, Washington since 2016. At the Goddard School, I have been an assistant teacher to several teachers and have cared for ages newborn to 5, just until they’re headed to Kindergarten. In doing so, my responsibilities included: creating a calm, safe and nurturing environment to meet the physical, emotional and cognitive needs of infants, diaper changing, playing indoor & outdoors, etc. Furthermore, from 2005 to 2010, I was employed as a Home Care Assistance through Chesterfield in Seattle, Washington where I was responsible for caring for several seniors. My responsibilities included: mobility support, assisting with maintaining personal hygiene by bathing, brushing their hair and teeth or applying skincare, etc. I truly love working with seniors and children as they both provide me with a sense of joy and happiness. With each child or senior that I care for, I am committed to providing a safe and comfortable relationship with one another to ensure that they are best cared for. I would love to expand on my experience, if needed. Please feel free to reach out at anytime. Before accepting a booking, please be aware that I am unable to work with dogs and/or cats. Nevertheless, I am so excited to meet you! Additional Info: ⁃ Cleared for TB ⁃ MMR Immunization
Hi, my name is Rosa. I’ve been in daycare for about 12 years. I started in-home care.I have experience with all age groups from infants to school age. I am comfortable with senior care. I’ve taken care of my grandparents. I can also help out with health household services, tidying up and running errands.
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.”
*looking for full time-part time regular positions for this summer starting July 1* Hello/hola! My name is Marilyn, I’m a 24 year old, bilingual (English/Spanish), student with over 6 years of childcare and senior care experience. I have 3 years of experience working for the YMCA as a before/after school instructor, summer camp counselor, and a early learning center floater. I have also nannied for three families and have been an on call babysitter for five others. I live in the Issaquah/Newcastle area and would love to find families to provide childcare for! I genuinely enjoy it and am working to have a bit of money while in nursing school at Bellevue College. I have many wonderful references and would love to chat if interested. Pay range negotiable and cash is preferred.
“Our kids really enjoyed having Marilyn spend time with them! She was on time, easy to talk too, and a great communicator. She also agreed to house sit and keep an eye on our dogs while we are away for a night.”
Hi there! I'm Esra - a calm, reliable, and caring nanny who truly loves spending time with little ones. I've worked with infants, toddlers, and young children, including full-time experience with a 6-month-old during my au pair year. I'm patient, safety-focused, and always try to create a warm, happy, and structured environment for kids. • Experience with infants, toddlers, and young children • CPR & First Aid certified • Fully engaged playtime (reading, sensory play, outdoor walks, tummy time, developmental activities) • Ability to follow routines (naps, bottles, meals, bedtime) • Light housekeeping related to the child (dishes, laundry, tidying play areas) • Respectful, kind, and warm presence • Comfortable with pets • Open to trial/meet & greet calls
“We hired Esra to care for our 10-month-old son, and she has been excellent. She is caring, gentle, and patient. She engages with him through play, songs, and outdoor walks, and he enjoys his time with her. We’re grateful for her support.”

"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!"
