Booked by 3 families in Spokane, WA

I’m an incoming third year BSN (bachelor of science in nursing) student at Gonzaga University. I have a couple years of experience babysitting toddlers and up. I also have worked at a kids indoor playground ”Nick’s Magnificent” for over a year now, where I work the cafe and at the same time look after a wide range of kids from 0-12 years and make sure they aren’t getting into any trouble!

Denise $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Denise and I am a mother of 3 older children and K-8 Educator. I love teaching and sharing the world with children through books and spending play time outside. I lived a military life supporting my husband in his career trajectory and have moved my family of five across the United States over seventeen times. I am looking to support my income caring and helping community families get through the daily grind with less stress. I have a degree in Family and Human Development and recently earned my Teacher Certification through the state of WA with my M.Ed. degree. I have always connected well with children teaching them social and emotional skills, offering children time to be inquisitive while teaching safety and independence. I love nature and animals. I hope to meet you soon.

Amanda $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello families, I’m very glad to meet you. The first thing you should know about me is that I am a Christian and I love Jesus with all of my heart! The second thing you should know about me is that I love children of all ages. The third thing you should know about me is that I am a wife and mother. The fourth thing you should know about me is that I’ve been taking care of children since I was a teenager. I have been a preschool teacher and a homeschooling mom. My boys will be graduating from high school next Saturday. My husband and I have been married for 26 1/2 years. I’m looking forward to getting to know your families and playing with your children. PS. I enjoy being with children because they make me laugh and smile. I see all children as a gift from God who are designed to be loved, cherished and enjoyed.

LeAnn $20 per hour for 1 child

Since I was 11 years old, people have always told me that I'm great with children! I have had several jobs working with children ages 2 months to teens. I've worked with kids who have had special needs and also managed a kids salon for 8 years! I'm kind, patient and just absolutely adore kids!! Im respectful and loyal! I have 3 kids myself ages 18, 17 and 6 yrs old. My 6 year old is developmentally delayed, so I also understand children who are sometimes challenged as well. I'm a good communicator, and feel that it's a very important part of everyday life. I love to be silly and have fun as well! My favorite things to do with kids is arts and crafts, and making things from scratch!
