Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Stanwood, WA

I grew up in a big family, and from a young age I was able to gain experience in child care. It would later be something that I really enjoy and continue to want to do. I’ve generally worked with toddlers and younger kids but I love kids of all ages. I love taking them outside to play in the sun or creating art indoors. In my free time I like to read, workout, and spend time with family and friends. I mostly have availability during the weekends and some occasional week nights

My 2.5 yo had a great time with Grace! I would definitely love to have her back!

Rebecca $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Rebecca! I currently nanny for a family after school so my afternoons and evenings are usually booked. I am looking for a family to work with in the mornings through early afternoon as well as Friday and weekend babysitting opportunities! I have 11+ years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and teens. I’ve worked as a teacher in infant–pre-K classrooms and as a nanny for various families. Most recently, I’ve cared for children ages 1–4 and 6–9, with additional infant and teen experience. I love getting on a child’s level and learning through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. I have experience with Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf-inspired approaches and enjoy outings, parks, and activities that encourage discovery. Safety is my top priority. I’m calm, kind, patient, and attentive, with a focus on social-emotional development and age-appropriate boundaries. I have experience with neurodivergent children and adapt my approach to each child’s individual needs. I value open communication and working closely with parents as a team. I’m seeking a long-term morning position ending by 1:30 PM. For positions over one month, I require payroll.

Ava $20 per hour for 1 child

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.
