Hi, I’m Arianne. I was a stay at home mom to my 10 year old daughter for the first 4 years of her life. During that time, I have been a nanny to 4 different families. I was with one family for a year caring for their 2 children, ages 1 and 9. With the second family, I cared for their infant, age 5 months, and stayed with them for 6 months. I left both families on excellent terms and have references. Once my daughter started school, I became a nanny full time. I have also worked with a few other families as well and have experience with children of all ages. I was with my most recent family for 5 years. They have an 6 yr and an 3 yr old. I started with the 6yr old at 18months and I’ve been with the 3 yr old whole life. I left this family in September because both boys are now in school/preschool. I am available immediately and I am looking for a full time nanny position in Olympia or the surrounding areas. I am fully vaccinated and still continue to wear masks in public and sanitize. I do like to let potential families know a couple things before we proceed just not to waste anyone’s time. Just in case values are extremely different. 1. I am have a lot of tattoos and some piercings. But I do not do drugs or smoke and I rarely even drink. I am open to drug testing and full background checks. 2. I am a lesbian. I know that may not be acceptable to all people so I like to let people know beforehand. 3. This is my sole source of income. If you hire me on, I will need guaranteed hours and if for any reason needs change, I will need notice a month in advance. Thanks for taking the time to read this. And if I don’t hear from you, good luck finding an amazing caregiver🙂

Hi! I just graduated with my Masters in forensic psychology, and I am looking for my last job as a nanny before I start working in my field. I have been nannying for 5 years but have been taking care of children for over 11 years. I am so grateful for all the connections I made over the years with the families I worked with and I look forward to making another one. Thank you for your consideration!

I’m currently looking for part or full time positions. Most recently worked with a two year old and his one year old twin brothers. I’ve worked 1:1 with autistic kiddos working on speech, working through behavioral “problems” and have done sitdown table work as well with some kids in my class my first year in the school district preschool (I left that job after Covid hit and they wanted us to go back in person as well as conflict with the teacher I was a para for.) Working with kids is my biggest passion and creating connections and special bonds with them is my biggest joy. I’m very crafty and artistic and love to incorporate that in any way I can when I’m babysitting. Very basic knowledge of ASL (fingerspelling, common signs (milk, drink, eat/food, please, thank you, want, need, help, etc.)). **Fully covid Vaccinated! And boosted!**

Hello and Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. With over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience, I am a passionate and reliable nanny seeking a long-term position with a loving family. My journey in childcare began when I started watching my grandson on weekends while my daughter-in-law worked, and I quickly discovered this was my true calling. What started as helping family has blossomed into a fulfilling career that brings me immense joy every single day. ## Professional Qualifications & Experience I am certified through the Child Care Aware program with the military, demonstrating my commitment to professional standards and quality care. My extensive experience spans working with children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months old. I understand the unique needs of each developmental stage and adapt my caregiving approach accordingly, whether it's providing gentle care for newborns or engaging older children in educational activities. Safety and trust are paramount in my work. I have completed comprehensive state and federal background checks, as well as a current driving abstract, all of which I'm happy to share with prospective families. These clearances reflect my commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. ## What Sets Me Apart I believe in making life easier for the families I work with, not just caring for their children. My services extend beyond basic childcare to include light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and maintaining organized, clean spaces. I understand that parents have enough on their plates, so I take pride in handling these additional responsibilities to help create a smoother household routine. My approach to childcare is nurturing yet structured. I focus on creating engaging, educational experiences while maintaining consistent routines that help children feel secure and thrive. Whether it's reading stories, creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with homework, I tailor activities to each child's interests and developmental needs. ## References & Family-Friendly Approach I have excellent references from previous families who can speak to my reliability, trustworthiness, and genuine care for their children. Many of my relationships with families have lasted years, which speaks to my commitment to building lasting, meaningful connections. I'm completely comfortable with pets and understand they're often

Hello I'm Maria I'm 21 years old I have 5 years of total experience with infants, toddlers, and teens I'm someone who like outdoors, music, and animals love to teach kids new language since I speak Spanish:) I am CPR certified and First Aid trained I also do housekeeping can do tidying around the house, small errands, groceries etc. Childcare and babysitting is extremely fulfilling for me and I believe my childcare experience growing up really shaped me into the happy and outgoing person I am today! I do full time & part time, I can't wait to chat more with you please let me know if you are interested or if you have any questions!

I’ve spent years nannying and babysitting, and I absolutely love working with kids. Growing up in a large family filled with little ones, nurturing and caring for others has always been second nature to me. I’m flexible with scheduling, have a reliable car for transportation, and I’m certified in both Basic Life Support (BLS) and First Aid. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help around the house with chores like laundry, dishes, and general tidying. I can also assist with schoolwork and homework support. I’m a big animal lover—with three dogs and a cat of my own—and I’m very comfortable in homes with pets. I also did gymnastics for 12 years, so being active and engaging with kids through play and movement is something I really enjoy. Thank you for considering my application. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for your children. -Danica

Welcome to my profile! My name is Meshayla and I have been working with children for as long as I can remember. Growing up I was an only child but I have lots of cousins that are much younger than me. I found my love for taking care of babies all of those years ago. Nothing is better than seeing the smiles and giggles of a little one. One of my cousins was born with down syndrome and had MANY medical issues throughout his life. Even though I was young, I helped to raise him. He had heart surgery as well as an NG feeding tube. I learned so many things to help care for his special needs and make sure he was incredibly loved and healthy. He is a big reason why I fell in love with child care. I gained more experience as I got older as well. My high school had a childcare center for the teen moms in our district. We were given the opportunity to work in the childcare center for elective credit. We had all different ages from 4 weeks old to 4 years old. It truly was the very best part of my day. No matter what was going on in life it all melted away when I saw their happy faces. The director of the child care center saw how much the kids loved me, and how i genuinely loved being there. So much so that she took me under her wing and helped me to become a master soother :) I knew it wasn't going to be a class I took once and never had again. I worked it out with the school so i would take extra classes for two years so that I could keep having the childcare in my class schedule. It was so bitter sweet when I finally graduated and had to say goodbye. I kept in touch with the director many years after. Unfortunately she passed away last year, but she will never be forgotten. I have her to thank for my vast knowledge when it comes to infants and children. After becoming an adult I did many babysitting/ nanny jobs for family friends as well as taking care of my friends babies. I have experience with all ages from freshly newborn babies all the way up to teenagers. The last 6 years i have been working in customer service and I have realized how much I miss being around the little baby toes and big gummy smiles. I have dogs myself and am comfortable with any pets you may have. My only objection would be uncaged spiders lol. I have been certified in CPR and first aid in the past but I'm not sure if they are still valid at this time. I would be willing to renew them if needed. Thanks for viewing my profile, I hope I can be a great fit for your families needs.
