Find nannies in Vashon, WA

Hi! I’m Katie and I’ve been caring for children for 15+ years. I am passionate about the nurturing and education of children, and enjoy fostering their individual growth and development. I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Science in Geoscience and a Minor in Disability Studies. My future goal is to merge my love for childcare, pedagogy, disability studies and environmental science into a learning center for kids. I have extensive experience with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Starting my childcare career as a teenager myself, I have continuously improved my skills through hands-on experience, training courses, certifications, and educational coursework over the past 15 years. Alongside providing in-home care, I have also gained valuable experience working in educational and recreational settings. I am passionate about creating inclusive and supportive environments that empower children to thrive and succeed. I use adaptive caregiving techniques to meet the individual needs of children with diverse abilities. Through a blend of educational, professional, and personal experiences, I have honed my skills in customizing activities, environments and curriculum to best suit various learning styles, disabilities and abilities. My favorite activity to do with kids is exploring and playing outdoors in nature. I also love engaging in games, arts and crafts, science experiments, cooking and baking, reading, music, and dance, among other activities! One of my go-to activities, with parental permission, for first visits is making homemade play-dough. It's a simple yet fun activity to break the ice and allow the kids and me to get to know each other. Extra info: In addition to childcare, I’m available to help with tutoring, homework, preparing meals, light cleaning, and errands. I’m an animal lover so any pets are fine by me. In addition to lots of pets and play I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, etc.

I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, & crafts. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks.

Hey there! I’m Dani. I have experience taking care of children of all ages, which has made me know different stages of their development. During a volunteering at a school, I helped children with their academic activities and organizing sports activities, there I learned to combine education with play. Also, as part of my university internship, I worked with children in vulnerable situations, which made me see the importance of creating a safe and enriching environment for them. I love sports, physical activity and crafts, and there is nothing more fun than sharing these activities with children, helping them develop motor skills, creativity and self-confidence. I will be happy to share this time adapted to the needs and personalities of each child. For this reason, I appreciate that as parents you guide me and we have good communication to know the limits and rules you have with them. I hope to meet you soon!

Currently working in a preschool as a substitute, I have an open schedule here and there! Overall, I have a background of five years working at summer camps, two years in an after-school program, and extensive babysitting experience. I bring a wealth of knowledge in childcare. I enjoy connecting with children through arts and crafts and am known for my friendly and attentive personality. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including those with special needs, and I’m well-informed about diverse developmental needs, ensuring every child feels safe, respected, and encouraged to express themselves. In addition to my experience with children, I have a strong background in caregiving for adults with special needs, which has deepened my ability to provide patient, compassionate, and attentive care. Additionally, I have experience taking care of pets of all kinds, making me adaptable to any household situation. My goal is always to create a nurturing, enjoyable environment where both children and parents feel confident and comfortable.

Peace to you! My name is Abba. I grew up in Port Orchard, and have spent most of my adult life in Seattle. I enjoy being active and exploring my environment, which is what has always drawn me to child care! I most recently nannied a sweet and energetic 2 year old and had been working with the same family since October 2022. I’ve worked at kids camps, baby sat for years, and have 12 nieces and nephews whom I have often taken care of and helped raise. My favorite part about childcare is the excitement children often bring to any kind of activity, there is so much learning, exploring, and growing happening in our early years . As an adult its nice to be reminded of the everyday 'awes' of being a human! Not to mention, a privilege to take part in so many of someone’s “firsts”. I truly feel fulfilled in spending time and caring for children, and value mutual respect between kids and care-givers. I implement developmentally appropriate activities of all kinds into daily routines, to encourage habitual learning. I am an artist, which translates into fun crafts and sensory exploration activities for kids! I love the outdoors rain or shine and don’t mind facilitating activities that may be deemed “messy”. Additionally, I have a deep love of gardening and growing food, as well as participating in various forms of community. I value respect and care between myself and parents, as we are a team! I would love to chat and get to know you and your family, I also have a detailed resume I can share, I encourage you to reach out! Adult/Infant CPR & First Aid certified
