Hey! I am Joyce and am 34 years old originally from Brazil. Currently, I work as a Mental Health Therapist in a school based program (elementary school). I have a strong background in childcare and child development. In Brazil, I spent two years working at a bilingual school with children aged 3 to 24 months. I also worked as an au pair for two years, caring for children from 3 months to kindergarten age. Additionally, I have experience in a clinical setting, providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children on the autism spectrum, ranging from 2 to 10 years old. Currently, I provide mental health services to children in elementary schools. Working with children is my passion—I love seeing them grow, develop, and thrive. I am currently looking for occasional opportunities as a nanny. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking, visiting parks. I also love reading. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to meeting you! Joyce
I adore children and have two boys myself which I feel is enough for me. I enjoy playing with them especially under 5 when they are cute and fun. But at the end at the day, I would prefer to return to their parents. I can be gentle yet firm for children that like to test boundaries- it allows me to be creative, playful and enjoy seeing their little wheels spinning when I interact with them. In addition, I like pets, but my household have allergy to pet dander so this is one way I can get my baby/ pet fix without having to raise them.
I am 55 years old and I am a mother 5 children. I’m highly experienced in the field. I love art and crafts and this is something I would love to share with your kids. I have experience with kids from all ages. I like doing all kind of outdoor and indoor activities. I am CPR certified and I am fully vaccinated.
Hi there! I’m a youth and adolescent mental health clinician who loves being a mentor using play, art, and activities to help kids grow. I have years of experience working with children of all ages, from kindergarten through adolescence. I have experience as a nanny as well and have worked with adults from age 18 to 65. Pets have been in every part of my life and I love taking care of all animals. Even reptiles! My professional experience at Seattle Children’s Hospital has given me the opportunity to do what I love in childhood mental health work. We engage children in emotional regulation, social development, life skills and crisis intervention using research based interventions that are fun. My favourite activities to do with youth is playing games like uno, crafting, creative writing, and pretend play. I hold a BA in Psychology, am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work, and have certifications in crisis intervention and CPR/BLS. Some of my favourite things to do on my downtime include cooking, baking, reading, knitting, train running, gardening and watching movies. I can’t wait to bring some fun, laughter, and creativity to your family!
Hello! I’m Kaje (Pronounced Cage), a warm, grounded, and dependable caregiver with naturally sunny disposition and nearly 50 years of hands-on experience. I truly believe that children teach us how to play, animals teach us how to love, and our elders teach us how to live. Childcare & Family Support: As a parent and proud grandparent to two wonderful kids (ages 4 and 5), I bring decades of real-world experience in creating safe, engaging, and joyful environments. My caregiving journey started early with neighborhood babysitting, and today I love being an active, steady presence for the playful and wise ones in my life. Whether reading stories, assisting with daily routines, facilitating creative play, or helping with after-school pickups, I meet children with patience, warmth, and genuine care. Senior & Elder Care: I hold our older generations in the highest regard. Seniors possess an incredible wealth of wisdom, life experience, and relevance that deserves deep respect and reverence. I cared for my grandmother while she was in elder care, and I had the profound privilege of providing full late-stage and end-of-life care for my mother. This included managing complex medication routines (including pain management under medical guidance), maintaining personal comfort and dignity, and offering steady emotional presence. I bring that same gentleness, honor, and attentive care to every senior I support. Pet Care & Sentient Companions: Animals are extraordinary, intelligent sentient beings, and I adore caring for them. I am a lifelong dog owner—previously loving an abused Pitbull, and currently sharing my home with our chiweener . I provide attentive pet sitting, walking, feeding, and genuine companionship for your furry family members. Communication, Emotional Balance & Household Support: With 20 years as a certified life coach, I bring strong emotional grounding and clear communication to every role. I excel at staying calm and centered—helping young children navigate big emotions while offering parents transparent, reliable updates. In addition to caregiving, I am happy to assist with household errands, grocery runs, and light organization to keep your home running smoothly. Whether your family needs trusted childcare, compassionate senior companionship, pet care, or dependable errand support, I look forward to bringing warmth and stability to your home.
