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!**

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🙂

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

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

Hi! I have years of experience preparing children for Kindergarten. Being CPR/First Aid certified as well as having my AA in early childhood education, qualifies me for this field of work but, my passion in making sure the kiddos in my care enter Kindergarten with confidence, makes me good at what I do.
