I ran a before and after school programs provided by South Sound YMCA from 2015-2018, providing care for 20-45 school age children any given day.

Hi! I’m Zuriel and I’m passionate about supporting families and creating a calm, organized home environment. I’m currently pursuing a career in occupational therapy and have hands-on experience working with children of all ages and abilities, including children with developmental and physical needs. I’m reliable, nurturing, and love creating meaningful routines that support kids’ growth while making life easier for parents. ⸻ Child Care I have several years of experience caring for children ranging from toddlers to school-aged kids. I currently work part-time as a nanny and also provide respite care for a 2-year-old with cerebral palsy. I enjoy engaging kids in developmentally appropriate play, sensory activities, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping with homework or school readiness skills. I’m trained in child development and safety practices through my occupational therapy education, and I bring patience, creativity, and structure to every child care setting. I can also cook simple, healthy meals and assist with bedtime routines or transitions. ⸻ Pet Care I’m comfortable around pets of all sizes and breeds, including dogs and cats. I can assist with feeding, walking, playing, and light grooming if needed. I’m also okay with animals that shed and can provide loving attention and companionship while you’re away. ⸻ Household Services I truly enjoy cleaning, organizing, and creating functional spaces. I can assist with daily tidying, deep cleaning, laundry, dishwashing, decluttering, errands, and meal prep. I bring a detail-oriented, efficient approach to every task and am happy to use your supplies or bring my own cleaning equipment if requested. ⸻ Whether you need consistent weekly support or occasional help, I’d love to connect and see how I can make your life easier!

$12 per hour for 1 child

Im 25 years old with two bachelors degrees. One in biology the other in health sciences. When I got out of college, I got a job working in my field as a chemist and realized I did not enjoy it. When I was in college my sophomore and junior years, I watched two boys an infant and a two year old two days a week. I really enjoyed having the job and teaching the kids. Currently, I’m interested in possibly going back to school for early childhood education. I enjoy being around kids, and I think that I have the patience to provide excellent care. I had a large extended family growing up, and I often ended up watching them because I was so much older. I also am very open to helping out with pets and light cleaning. I’m not experienced with working with special needs children. I am happy to talk in person tell you more about my child care experiences and anything else. I’m looking for part time employment and can sometimes be last minute notice.
