Hi! My name is Nicole. I am a Mother to an 8 year old girl and was a early childhood educator before giving birth. I've owned my own successful small business, created after school programs for children and worked as a house cleaner part time as a new mom, before that I did the corporate thing for many years, traveling around the globe. I have a stepson that is special needs who spends the summer with us which has given me experience navigating those dynamics. I have a large skill set having been around various kids & pets my whole life so I enjoy being around animals as well. I currently have 3 cats and 8 chickens and would love to have a mini farm some day. In our home we enjoy gardening, reading, cooking, crafts, science, music and outdoor adventures! I'm comfortable with light elder care as well as I lightly caretake for my Mother who lives with us. Open to kids of all ages and am looking ideally to work with folks around my daughters school schedule and potentially later / evenings, can be flexible. I am also open to occasionally caretaking in my home as I have a clean, safe, fun space for kiddos (art supplies, educational, emotional development, indoor and outdoor activities) I can't wait to hear from you!

Hi, my name is Katie. I’m 25 years old and grew up in a family of 16 from the same parents. As the 6th oldest, I’ve been babysitting and caring for younger siblings for most of my life as well as my 9 nieces and nephews. I grew up in Vancouver, Washington until 2020, when my family moved to Florida. 2 months ago I decided to move back to Vancouver and live with my sister for the church, community, and friendships.

Hi- My names Mai. I came back from teaching in Tokyo 4 years ago now. I've been working with kids from around 14 which is when I started babysitting and teaching abacus. I've been teaching abacus both in person and online for the past 10+ years but it's fun to watch kids outside an educational environment. I'm fluent in Japanese and English and am always down for outdoor adventures like swimming, biking, berry picking, or just going to the park. But I can always enjoy a good book or movie. I work 8-5 as a PM during the weekday but I’m free outside of those hours if you have a concert or date night. Hopefully, I'm able to offer some assistance to you outside of these hours. you for your understanding and reading this far!

Hi! My name is Sophie, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 5 years of paid experience in both babysitting and dog sitting. I’m currently in nursing school, which has strengthened my attention to safety, communication, and caring for others. I’m CPR certified and always prioritize creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for the children I care for. I truly love working with kids and enjoy engaging with them through play, creativity, and everyday routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs and personality. I also come from a big dog household. I have three dogs of my own of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable around pets and happy to help in homes with animals. I have my own reliable car and do not smoke or use any substances, ensuring dependable transportation and a healthy, safe environment for the families I work with. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained, helping with routines, or simply being someone children feel comfortable around, I take pride in being a caregiver families can trust and rely on

The wonderful thing about loving your job is it’s easy to show up with a smile and a positive attitude. I really like working in the care sector and especially enjoy watching children grow, learn and become individuals. I live alone so I have flexibility with my schedule. I do have a cat if you are allergic. I am hoping to focus on childcare for all ages. In the past 14yrs I’ve cared for, and spent time with, children between the ages of 4 and 17, between 1[removed] I had experience with infants and toddlers. My niece and nephews are my greatest joy. One nephew is neurodivergent and my niece is special needs, I only mention this because it taught me patience, healthy coping skills and communication. Practically speaking, what I can offer: 1) I can cook and bake, focusing on vegetable heavy dishes. If you have a craving for spanakopita or NY cheesecake? I can provide. 2) I’m a very safe driver with a reliable car. I haven’t had a car accident or traffic ticket since 1995. I’m more than happy to drive to do errands, pick up groceries, do school pick ups & drop offs and trips to the soccer field. 3) I’m a VERY creative person! I have a ton of arts and crafts supplies that I can bring for everything from watercolors to polymer clay sculpture. I’m also good with stories, silly songs and funny dances. 4) I am happy to help with a little homework (familiar with Montessori teaching practices) playing games, reading nighttime stories and TALKING with children to develop vocabulary and communication. I should mention I’m open to being a support person for child birthday parties or group outings. I’d be thrilled to do elder care and am very respectful, soft spoken when appropriate, and would be just as happy playing cribbage as reading whatever is of interest to my client. I honesty enjoy looking at family photo albums and listening to THEIR stories. I volunteered for 11 years at a care facility painting the ladies nails and reading to male and female clients. Have experience working with clients who have dementia. And finally I can do cat and small dog sitting duties. I have had cats living with me for decades, and few dogs too. I’m very pet friendly. No housecleaning duties other than laundry, dishes, counters and picking up after play time. Hope this inspires you to message and/or meet with me to see if I’m the right fit for you and your family. Have a great day!
