Hi, I am April and helping families and children is my passion. I am currently a full time Early Head Start Home Visitor for the Puget Sound ESD. Previous to this I was a teacher for Head Start in a blended Special Ed classroom of 3 to 5 year olds. I also worked for Early Head Start as an infant toddler teacher. My work as a Head Start teacher started in 2009. I also have experience as a nanny and have been a supervisor of a childcare center. My experience with children ranges from ages 0 to teens. However, I consider myself an Early childhood professional and 0-5 is who I work with most and feel most confident with. I have experience with children with Autism, Down Syndrom, and a variety of sensory needs. I take pride in working in this field as I believe early childhood education is what builds a successful foundation for learning. I also have a degree in Early Childhood Education. My philosophy with children is based upon them having their social/emotional needs met. When children can feel good about themselves, they are likely to thrive in learning and play. I believe kids are best engaged when they are doing what they love whether that be pretend play, play dough, outdoor play, etc. Getting to know their interests is how I learn to work with them. In addition, I am happy to follow your guidance on their routines as well. I live in Burien. I am available evenings, weekends, and overnights. I am open to housesitting or watching your children while you enjoy a weekend get away. I have a car for transporting children if needed. I also stay to date on my flu and Covid vaccines. I hope to hear from you!
Hi! My name is Julia I’m a wife, mother, auntie, daughter, artist and working professional. My daughter (she is 5 yrs old), will stay home with my husband while I come to your location. Naturally as a mother myself, I will treat your child(ren) with the upmost respect and professionalism. You can depend on me to follow your house rules, lead by example, and provide loving care with full integrity. Some of my alternate experience with children include but not limited to: camp leader for over 16 different weeks (5-6 graders), sunday school lead for infant room 2 years~ (0-2 yrs old), after school volunteer tutor 3 years~ (1st and 2nd graders), childrens paint parties (all ages) + tons of babysitting. I am punctual, and usually flexible with the end time. Returning home early or extending the shift is fine with me. I am adaptable, no judgement! I have a car, license and insurance. I have a clean background and credit. I am a non-smoker/vaper/drug free. I am fully vaxxed (CVID and TDAP). Certified in cpr/first aid. Thank you for reading!
“She's amazing!✨️”
I have been a nanny for over 12 years and about 8 years ago I transitioned into the corporate world. I am missing all the silly times with my little people and would like some occasional jobs to keep me engaged and having fun! I have a ton of energy and can keep up with any child or large families. I love animals as well! I have had quite a few cooking jobs and I don't sit very well for too long. So, if a baby is sleeping... I am cleaning or prepping food :) My minimum is 4 hours of work, so if you come home early, I still get paid for 4 hours. Thank you.
“Tiffany is extremely warm, energetic and professional and clearly very experienced! She is one of the first babysitters we've used as first-time parents and we felt at-ease almost right away.”
Hello! My name is Radiya and I am a college student studying Biomedical Science. I’m also an avid baker and food enthusiast! I grew up as the youngest sibling for almost thirteen years until my little brother was finally born. Since my older siblings were in college and very busy and both of my parents were employed, I shared responsibilities of taking care of my younger brother since high school. I also have an abundant amount of younger cousins that I would babysit so I’ve grown up around children my whole life and am very comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I have two cats at home so I am experienced with feeding cats, cleaning litters, etc. I don’t have much experience with dogs, but as long as they gets to know me and are relatively calm, I don’t mind being in the company of any dogs!
“Radiya was great with my 5yo. Will definitely try to book again!”
