I have many years of taking care of different kinds of ages kids. I taught Mandrain in US for two years. I taught Chinese math and some subjects for kids in China for few years. I have no problem take care of different kinds of ages kids. I love kids. I hope I could be respected.
āVery friendly, help with house light cleaning, baby loves herā
Why should a family choose me as a nanny? I am Yisel from Colombia, responsible, honest, fun, open-minded, patient, loving, dedicated, happy and pet friendly person. I love spending time with children, helping them to grow up happy, sharing my culture with them, teaching them my mother tongue and learning new things. I am a language teacher in my country, I speak Spanish, English and French, I worked as a teacher in a daycare for two years and I have experience as a nanny for more than 6 years and 3 years of nanny sharing with the same families, I love helping my children reach their creative potential and develop a harmonic cognitive process. I believe that a variety of activities are essential for the development of children. Also, the closeness to nature and engagement in building things with their own hands will stimulate their eagerness to explore and experiment. I like the key "learning by playing" because it corresponds to reality and what I like doing with children. And you can be sure that your children will have rewarding experiences with me. It would be great to become your friend, contact person, and role model for your children. I love children and care about them, so their well-being and safety are most important to me. What activities would you like to do with your host children? Depending on the ages and the climate, I would do the following activities with the children: ⢠0 - 6 months: Early stimulation activities with water, sand, tempera and clay. Roll balls with sound, encourage crawling, rhythm with toys, feeding support and nursery rhymes. ⢠1 - 2 years: Activities that help them develop their early stimulation. Play with water balloons, threading games, fishing afternoon, sandbox, games with music, games with tempera paint and rope toys. ⢠2 - 5 years: Dance activities to the rhythm of music, building blocks, drawing pictures with different paintings, going up and down steps, drawing, painting silhouettes, taking them to the park, teaching them my mother tongue and helping them are their language.
āYiyi worked as a part-time nanny for our son when he was 1 to 2 years old until we moved away to California. She is so kind, attentive, easy to work with and be around and helpful. She took our son out on adventures, did art projects with him ( she is a talented artist), read, sang, danced and actively engaged him. She is easy to communicate with, responsive and very reliable. I love that she speaks Spanish and English and exposed our son to Spanish. I don't think she was sick 1 day that she worked with us. She goes above and beyond, when I asked if she would be willing to come over when my husband had to be on a work trip while I was pregnant with our second child and had the flu, she said yes. I am forever thankful for her care during those very hard days. She became a part of our family and we still stay in touch. I highly recommend Yiyi!ā
Worked in a daycare 2 separate times. With school age, infants and toddlers. Have raised 2 children on my own. I also have had multiple pets growing up and current.
Hello! My name is Patricia, I'm a graphic designer graduate and in school for marketing and communications, Iām 32yo and I'm looking for a part time nanny position. My availability is from 8-2 p.m. (flexible to 2:30pm if the family is in the Renton/Kent area.

My name is Tanya, and I am the mother of two (daughter 17 and son 3). I would like to put my name out there for childcare for your little ones. Ideally, your child(ren) could come to my house, but I can also go to yours. I do have my 3 year old little guy who would be there or come with me. I am located in Fairwood Greens community in Renton, WA, and my home is a smoke free and no pets. All of us (except my 3 year old) are fully vaccinated. I can help with date nights, or I am even open to exploring an ongoing thing if there is someone who works nights or weekends and needs help. I know it can be hard to find childcare for those off hours. I have every other Friday off as well so a daytime slot could work there as well. I am happy to go over timing in more detail though. If you are interested and would like to chat more and get to know me beforehand, feel free to message me. We could even meet up at the park for a little meet and greet before you make any decisions. š
