Hi, I'm Francis! I am a passionate, career-focused educator offering over 10 years of private nanny experience alongside a decade of professional childcare center experience. I hold an AA in Early Childhood Education and a Specialized Infant and Toddler Certificate from Bellevue College. Additionally, I am fully up to date on all safety, background, and CPR certifications, including Food Handlers and Safe Sleep guidelines. My extensive career spans every age group, allowing me to tailor my care to your family's exact needs: - Infants & Toddlers: I specialize in the Magda Gerber (RIE) philosophy, prioritizing respectful, attentive care that honors a child’s natural pace, emotional expression, and independence. - Preschool & School-Age: I currently serve as a Special Education Para-educator in the Bellevue School District and have previous experience as a Lead Teacher at Bellevue College ELC. I excel at keeping kids active, helping them navigate complex emotions, and building positive habits through gentle but firm boundaries. - Active & Outdoor Fun: I love nature walks and am always excited to take older kids hiking! I thrive on keeping children engaged with the outdoors, exploring local trails, and staying active in a fun, safe environment. - Bonus for Pet Owners: I am an animal lover! I have my own dog, Miko, and am always happy to provide pet sitting or love to your furry family members alongside your children. I love what I do, and I look forward to supporting your family during evenings, weekends, and school breaks!
Hi families! My name is Andrea Bonilla, but everyone calls me Andy. I’m originally from Colombia and I’m 28 years old. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Colombia and I’m currently continuing my studies in Psychology at Seattle Central College. I have over 4 years of experience caring for children between 0 and 13 years old. I’m an active, patient, creative, and cheerful person who truly enjoys spending time with kids. I love singing, playing, and creating fun and educational activities. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including feeding through a G-tube. My background in psychology has helped me better understand children’s emotional and developmental needs, and I always strive to create a safe, nurturing, and happy environment for them. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring joy to your little ones!

I have always babysat and loved it. I mostly did family friends and neighbors but had work with people that I just met, too. I am too soft for my own good. It is good for the kids though. I have done services ranging from babysitting to cleaning houses. I always do my best to ensure a good experience to the one I’m caring for. I do love babies specifically and hope to get more experience with newborns.
