Jenn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jennifer, I am 24 years old and currently living in Bothell. I truly enjoy spending time with children, as I find in them a sense of adventure and curiosity that I continue to carry within myself. I offer occasional childcare during weekends and weekday evenings and have experience caring for children from 4 months old up to 14 years old; I am infant qualified and have accumulated over 2,500 hours of hands-on childcare experience. My background includes working as a children’s swimming instructor, nanny, arts and crafts facilitator, and summer camp teacher. I am a confident driver, a strong swimmer, and I am CPR certified. I genuinely enjoy engaging children in meaningful and fun activities such as visiting playgrounds, having picnics, playing board games and miming games, and even introducing them to Spanish in a natural and playful way.

Laura Valentina $27 per hour for 1 child

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.

Alison $35 per hour for 1 child

I have been a nanny for infants and toddlers for the past 3 years. Before this time, I worked as teacher's aide, after-school program teacher and administrative assistant. I have an Early Childcare Certificate, a current First Aid/CPR Certificate for Infants - Adults, Teaching English to Students of Other Languages (TESOL) Certificate, and Public Information degree. I care deeply about forming a strong bond with the children I care for and love introducing them to various experiences that build their awareness of themselves, others and the world around them. In addition, I believe in offering gentle guidance to children in a respectful, kind, instructive and even fun way. During my time with children, I do activities and engage with them in a way that sparks their curiosity, builds their knowledge and skills, follows their interests, helps them learn age-appropriate socio-emotional and communication skills. Based on several factors, I may use redirection, modeling what I want them to do or say, several reminders to reinforce behavior expectations such as washing hands after outside play and before meals, offering "first this, then that" or a choice of what to do first when both activities are required, advanced notice before transitioning to something else, and other age-appropriate caregiving practices. As a strong empath, I want to use my innate ability to connect with children (and all people) in a way that helps them feel understood, valued, worthy of kindness and attention, great for who they are JUST AS THEY ARE, and safe. I've found that I can't nurture children as deeply as I'd like and, in the case of very young children, to the degree I feel they need as they learn about themselves, others and their world.
