Hello, I’m Salina , and I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with families seeking a caring, dependable, and attentive caregiver. As a psychology graduate currently working as a Case Manager in Children’s Crisis Outreach, I support children and families through challenging moments with patience, empathy, and structure—skills that deeply inform how I show up in caregiving roles. My professional background has strengthened my understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and the importance of creating environments where children feel safe, supported, and understood. Alongside my formal training, I’ve built years of hands-on experience caring for children in various settings, allowing me to adapt to different ages, personalities, and family dynamics with ease. What continues to motivate me is the privilege of helping children feel secure while encouraging curiosity, growth, and confidence. I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and age-appropriate engagement, and I’m intentional about creating calm, enriching spaces—whether through creative activities, routine-building, or simply being a steady presence. I would love the opportunity to support your family and contribute positively to your child’s well-being. I’m happy to connect via FaceTime or meet for coffee to discuss your family’s needs and how my experience may be a good fit. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to learning more about your family and exploring how I can best support you. Warmly, Salina
Hello, i'm Nick. I am kind, caring, and responsible, and experienced working with kids in both small and large groups. I am a certified OJJDP mentor, and experienced as a tutor. I also have experience in running high yield learning activities, and in building and running programs and activities as a youth development professional. I am also familiar with safe food handling procedures, and have been trained as a cook, capable of preparing healthy and delicious meals that can satisfy even restricted diets. Great with cats.
Hello my name is Karla! I am 23 and I have a certificate in Early childhood education and about 5 years working with school age children and toddlers. I have one year of infant experience as well with my daughter who just turned one! I love to help others and and would love to help you out with whatever needs you have :)
Mother of 3 (4th, 7th, and 10th grades). I speak Spanish and German fluently, have a graduate degree, and would be happy to teach your kids! I am passionate about early learning and development and would also enjoy helping with the management of household activities. Ideally looking for any combination of weekday hours for about 10-15 hours a week (anytime between 8:45AM-3:30PM works great). I have pediatric and adult CPR and first aid training certification, food handlers permit, and a WA state portable background check. I have a 2023 Honda Odyssey minivan. I have experience caring for elderly family members, including dementia.
Hi, my name is Valentina and I have been caring for children since I was 17, with about five years of experience. I have worked with babies, toddlers, and children up to 10 years old, including experience in daycare settings. I love planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, music, reading time, and playing at the park to support each child’s development in a fun and creative way. As a person, I am very calm, respectful, and patient, and I believe in teaching children healthy habits through daily routines and example. I care for every child with love, respect, and a strong sense of responsibility, always prioritizing their safety and emotional well-being. I am also comfortable helping with light housekeeping and keeping the children’s spaces organized and tidy.
