I am a mother and grandmother. My professional experience includes providing doula care for over 12 years. I received my certification as an early childhood education specialist in the States of Iowa and Kansas. I was also a licensed home daycare provider in Kansas. I would like to find a family with a young child/ren in need of a loving, nurturing nanny. I enjoy creating supportive learning environments for children wherever we may be, whether that is in a chair with a book, on the floor with toys, in the kitchen, garden, at the library or parks. I am a low screen-time provider, but value their limited use. I am fine with meal preparation and light house keeping which come with child care. In my role as nanny, I give support and relief to parents by providing exceptional care for your child/ren so you can focus on work. As a result, your time as a family will be more calm and enjoyable.

It would be hard to overstate how much our family recommends Margaret. Run…don’t walk to hire her. It will easily be one of the best decisions you will make for you and your family. This charming, intelligent, caring human is one of the most genuine and naturally nurturing people we have ever come into contact with. On day one of caring for our infant, Margaret became a source of stability in our home and continued to surpass our expectations each day through the 2 years she cared for our daughter. Her education and experience alone set her apart from other nannies but it’s also clear she has a calling and passion for children - and that showed up in the work ethic, creativity, and energy she brought to our home every day. We couldn’t have picked a better person to help raise our daughter if we tried. Our family is better off for having known her and been in her care.

Hi there! I am Abby (she/her). This June, I will be graduating from Washington State University Vancouver with my Master’s in Teaching. I graduated from the University of Washington in June 2024. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Communities, and Organizations with Disability Studies and American Indian Studies minors. I have been caring for children for 6 years as a babysitter and as the oldest sibling, as well as supervising children in summer camp and school settings. My babysitting experience ranges in ages from infant to twelve. I recently cared for a one year old for six months, starting when she was only six months herself - this included diaper changes, feedings, putting her down for naps, and taking her on adventures to Kids Club, swimming, and free events at the local library. I have also babysat toddlers and assisted them with potty training. I also babysit families with siblings ranging in ages of 2-4 and 6-10. I truly love working with kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. With each family I understand cleaning is not expected but light housework such as dishes, vacuuming, and tidying up the toy room is no problem for me! I have experience babysitting children with ASD and ADHD. I have found success in building relationships with these children through discussing triggers, what the child enjoys, and boundaries with parents before we start working together. I am also passionate about working with children with disabilities in the school setting. I am currently a substitute, often filling in as a paraprofessional. From September 2023 to May 2024 I held an internship as a substitute paraprofessional in the Seattle Public School system, regularly working at Concord International Elementary School. Nothing makes me happier than reading, doing crafts, playing games/puzzles and being outside! My number one focus is keeping the children happy but most importantly safe. I have my CPR certification and can run a background check upon request. I can provide references upon request. Currently I'm available ONLY on weekends, hopefully for the occasional date night. I am looking for a family that would be in need of upcoming summer care. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your children!

Abby worked for our family for almost a year from when our daughter was 3 months to 1 year. Abby was our daughter's favorite childcare provider, and main provider. Abby is an excellent childcare provider and I recommend her wholeheartedly. Abby brings an attention to detail, positivity and respect for the family. She started on day one bringing developmental knowledge to the way she cares for our daughter., and introduces activities She was very communicative at all aspects. From scheduling, sharing her location when with our daughter and checking in on ideas for community enrichment activities. When our daughter was napping, Abby would help clean or tidy which was definitely not a requirement or even request. She showed such care and respect for our daughter and her development, I am thankful and recommend hiring her. Thank you Abby!

Hi! I'm Danika, I'm 24 years old and I love working with kids! i have a 2 year old baby girl at home, but i'm no stranger to childcare! There is a chance i will have to bring my daughter along, due to childcare issues but she's super well behaved & loves to play! I had a younger sibling that I grew up watching and taking care of. I've had three + years of childcare experience, as well as volunteering in a special education classroom for high school and elementary. I also worked in the nursery at my church when I was younger. I am a paraeducator for special education preschool as well! I'm super outgoing and all about fun and hard work! I have a lot of patience when it comes to kids, always putting them first.

Danika was great with the kids. We felt very comfortable with her. She was also flexible with a slight shift in our schedule. She communicated well and kept us informed throughout the night when we asked. We will be contacting Danika for our babysitting needs in the future.

Hello families! My name is Vitoria, and I bring both professional experience in early childhood care and a genuine love for nurturing little ones. I currently work as a childcare provider at a daycare, where I care for toddlers around 3–30 months old, helping them grow, explore, and thrive in a safe and joyful environment. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I love creating engaging activities, from music and playtime to reading and gentle routines that build comfort and trust. My goal is always to provide a sense of stability, safety, and joy, so that children feel cared for and parents feel at ease. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, and sharing stories and songs with little ones. I also speak Portuguese and English fluently, and I’m currently learning French, which can bring an extra fun, multicultural touch to care. I would be honored to support your family with childcare that combines responsibility, warmth, and genuine dedication.
