Angie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angie and I've been working with kids for over four years. I spent a year working at a daycare before becoming a nanny, and I've had the privilege of working with two wonderful families. I am moving to Vancouver for a Bible internship and would love an opportunity to help with anyone seeking childcare. I'm attentive, patient, communicative, dependable, and love engaging with kids while playing, reading, going on adventures, and other fun activities. I'm comfortable helping with meals, naps, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and anything else that may be needed. I strive to do my best and am confident that I can provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your children. Thank you for considering me and I would love to chat further!

Patricia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am a retired teacher, mother and grandmother. I am a pet lover as well and would be happy to walk the dog or cuddle with the cat. I am quite active and swim 5 days a week. Most of my teaching experience was in elementary and I also taught art, so I could tutor and help your child with their homework. Any questions, feel free to ask!

Daryl $16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ridgefield, WA

Hello! My name is Daryl and I'm currently pursuing a college education to work in pediatrics and neuroscience. I have over three years of childcare experience. I worked over a year as a volunteer teacher's aide for ages 3-4, over two years as a children's swim instructor for ages 3 months to 12 years old, and two summers as a creative arts camp guide for a variety of age groups. Across my three years of childcare experience, I have worked with children with disabilities one-on-one a multitude of times. While I was a swim instructor, I was certified to teach students with disabilities, and as a teacher's aide, I worked individually with a student alongside general classroom work. I am especially proficient in working with children with autism.

"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!"
