Hi, I’m Paige and I’m an HCC teacher in Seattle Public Schools. I am certificated to teach K-8, with ample childcare experience. I am CPR certified. I also have experience providing care and support to elders. I am comfortable and confident managing and taking care of multiple people (and pets!) at once. I also have plenty of housekeeping and cleaning experience. I love working with people and getting to know families!
My name is Evie and I am a student at WWU. In high school, I had the best job at the YMCA for 2 years for elementary age kids. I also have been babysitting for 4 years. I have two bunnies, a hamster, a parakeet, and a fish at home so I am experienced at taking care of many different critters, as well as cats and dogs! I am open to many kinds of work such as babysitting, any kind of pet watching/walking, house sitting, and running errands.
I exclusively take care of Frenchies for my friend Ben. This is the only job i will take. Please dont contact me unless your name is Ben, and you have Frenchies that need care.
Hi! I'm Tracy, a recent graduate and current school health specialist who loves working with families. I grew up helping at my aunt’s childcare center and have been babysitting for 6 years with hands-on experience with children of all ages. I'm CPR certified and have a degree in Health Sciences, so safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I'm a big fan of keeping kids engaged through active play, creative projects, and learning. I can keep them entertained all day! I am also very comfortable taking care of friendly animals of all sizes and breeds. To help your evening or weekend run smoother, I'm happy to help out with household tasks like dishes, light cleanup, laundry, and trash. I look forward to supporting your family!
“My kids loved spending time with Tracy! She was always punctual, easy to communicate with, and kind to my whole family. Her patience, attentiveness, and fun attitude with the kids were clear. She was always prepared with fun activities for the kids and is a fantastic cook. She has worked at multiple schools and has a college degree. I just wish she would move back to Denver, my kids miss her!”
I would describe myself as having a calm and observant disposition. A clever sense of humor with a big imagination. Definitely a utilitarian thinker and likes to explore outside the box with art and play. I’ve always connected well with kids of all ages. It’s natural for me to communicate, play and be imaginative with them at their level while remaining in the present. Retired now but before I was a dedicated professional with over 15 years experience in providing comprehensive services to general/ special needs children of various ages mostly one to one. I also have a background in behavioral management and curriculum development. Eight years experience in pet/house sitting around the world. Six years of Camp Counselor and instructor in wilderness survival and camping with youth. In addition, I have 4 years of experience in Sailing Charters as a 1st Mate and 3 years experience in Landscaping/ general yard maintenance. Those are the large parts amongst many other hats I’ve worn throughout my years. I hold a MA in Special Needs Education specifically with the deaf and/or blind and a BA in Elementary Education K-6. The core of my person is organized/cleanliness, detailed oriented, mindful, loyal, honest, straight forward, and have integrity in anything I commit to, be it work or personal. I practice awareness in many areas and believe without this one cannot grow or learn how to improve themselves in communication and their person. Currently, I’m looking for part-time work for now that provides an environment that is stimulating to the mind and involves movement vs stationary. A multi tasking position with limited to no major self created chaos. Background information: I’ve been background checked and fingerprinted multiple times for educational purposes and licensing. I do not have any criminal background. I am NW born and grew up in Portland and Seattle area. At the moment I reside in Everett and have a vehicle. Thank you for your time in reading my profile and look forward to finding a good match. Best regards, Jenevieve
