I am a current assistant teacher in a private school equipped with K-12 Chinese teaching license and master education degree. I used to be a homestay to take care of my 2 boys so very familiar with cleaning caring cooking stuff. I was not well supported when my kids were young, just hoping that people could use my help to feel better in these busy days.
“Gabby is very caring and has a wonderful dynamic with my son. She’s also generous in sharing her experience as a K–12 teacher. My son had a happy time with her. ”
Hi there, my name is Nishadi! I am a true and native SoCal girl who found the beautiful PNW about 9 years ago. I love catching sunsets, hiking, and a good puzzle when it’s raining. I am currently pursuing a degree in Interior Design and planning my wedding for October 2026! My goal is to make the parents’ lives happier and easier as I care for their children by keeping them safe and entertained. I’ve been a nanny ever since moving here and have loved all of the families I’ve cared for and are still with them. I value a good fit with a family and being a part of the family as I get to know you. Looking forward to a fun opportunity with your children!
“She’s very neat, organized, on time, caring, affectionate, sweet and punctual. She arrived on time. Understood all the instructions. Came exactly on time even though it was last minute. Left the house an baby extremely clean. My daughter was really happy as well. Very impressed and will be hiring her again!!”
My name is lola i’m 18 years old and i’ve been babysitting for over 10 years now with all different age groups starting from 1-13 years old with boys and girls and people with special needs as well. I’m a super welcoming and inviting person who believes everyone deserves to be loved and cared for.
Hello, parents!! My name is Marcela — or as the little ones call me, Cela :) I studied psychology in Brazil and spent five years immersed in childcare there before moving to the US, and for almost three years now I've had the joy of caring for two wonderful local families, watching their babies grow from tiny newborns into happy, curious toddlers. I love imaginative play, art and crafts and exploring the world w/ the little ones - parks, libraries, story times. I'm patient, attentive, and genuinely present. I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, comfortable driving and happy to share references from the families I currently work with. I'd love the chance to meet you and your kiddo! 💛
Hello! My name is Frances and I am a creative and fun-loving person who has a lot of experience working with children of all ages in various capacities. I started my childcare journey by helping to raise my little sister who is ten years younger than me and I've continued to grow as a childcare professional through adulthood. I've worked as a camp counselor at the Woodland Park Zoo where I was responsible for many children at once, I've volunteered as a creative writing teacher at an elementary school, and one of my greatest accomplishments is becoming a Certified Behavior Technician and working six months implementing and running treatment plans and therapeutic intervention designed by ABA therapists for children with autism of various ages (ages three to sixteen). I cook and clean, I'm CPR/First Aid certified, I love pets, and I have a safe car and a clean driving record. I am a molecular biology student at UW and I currently work part time as a Phlebotomist with the hopes of attending medical school in the future. I'd love to chat more about your needs and how I can best support your family!
