Chloé $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have a lot of experience with children, as I have many young children in my family that I have been looking after since my teenage years. I am therefore used to caring for children of all ages, from 0 to 16 years old. I have also been babysitting for several years, including taking care of infants. I am currently an au pair in Seattle, where I take care of two children aged 2 and 4 on a daily basis. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person, and safety is always my top priority when looking after children. Families can feel confident that their children will be well cared for in a safe, attentive, and positive environment. I really enjoy spending time with children and organizing a variety of age-appropriate activities, such as painting, drawing, creative games, and outdoor play whenever possible. I always make sure children feel comfortable, engaged, and happy. Regarding animals, I grew up around dogs (Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepherds), so I am very comfortable with them. Dogs are a true passion of mine. I also love cats and many other animals. Finally, if families wish, they are more than welcome to contact my current host family in Seattle for additional reassurance and references.

Husneya $35 per hour for 1 child

As the oldest daughter in a family of seven, caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. I helped raise my younger siblings, who are now between the ages of 11 and 14, which gave me years of hands-on childcare experience from a young age. I have also worked with children in a school in Alberta and currently work with Safe Space Childcare Services, where I care for children of all ages. These experiences have taught me how to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment while meeting each child’s individual needs. I am patient, nurturing, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, or enjoying creative activities, I always strive to make children feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a passion for cooking and enjoy preparing nutritious, homemade meals and snacks when needed. I look forward to supporting your family with dependable and compassionate care.
