Maria Joyce $30 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I am Joyce and am 34 years old originally from Brazil. Currently, I work as a Mental Health Therapist in a school based program (elementary school). I have a strong background in childcare and child development. In Brazil, I spent two years working at a bilingual school with children aged 3 to 24 months. I also worked as an au pair for two years, caring for children from 3 months to kindergarten age. Additionally, I have experience in a clinical setting, providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children on the autism spectrum, ranging from 2 to 10 years old. Currently, I provide mental health services to children in elementary schools. Working with children is my passion—I love seeing them grow, develop, and thrive. I am currently looking for occasional opportunities as a nanny. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking, visiting parks. I also love reading. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to meeting you! Joyce

Grace $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Grace and I’ve been a nanny in the Seattle area for over 12 years. I am looking for families who need care predominantly on the weekends as I am now working to save money in order to go back to school to finish my degree in Family Sciences. I’m currently a full time nanny during the week for the family I’ve been with for almost 5 years. I love them dearly and am not looking to modify any of my weekday hours. I’ve been babysitting since I was 11, taking care of neighborhood kids and cousins, transitioning to a full time nanny during the summer I was 16. In the 12 years since I’ve worked with 11 families of all different sizes, for ages ranging 3 mos. to 11 years. I have a wide-ranging experience in different household/family tasks such as cooking, cleaning, organizing, scheduling, crafting, tutoring and driving. I truly love working with children, protecting and supporting the sacred time of childhood, while also being able to support families and parents.
