I believe children should be nutured with love & respect. An educational interaction should be carried out daily like learning numbers & colors. Children are a precious gift. I worked for 11yrs as a para educator for the Renton School District,grades k-12 and loved it very much. I've cared for triplet boys from 6wks until they were 3yrs old and at that time they started preschool. I love to Read and interact our stories with pictures and music. I will always have a journal of your baby’s activities for the day including diaper changes and bottles. I will bathe baby daily if you so choose.

Nguyen N., Nanny in Des Moines, WA 98198 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Nguyen Nickerson. I am a mature, responsible, devoted and reliable nanny with 10 years experience as a professional nanny in Seattle. I have experience with kids from 2 months to 12 year old. I have 6 years experience with infants and toddlers. I simply love children, love caring for them and find them fascinating, and I am seeking further nanny work to continue doing what I love and broadening my experience. A little about myself: I graduated with a Bachelor of English from University of Social Science and Humanities of Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam in 2013. I am CPR/First Aid trained. I am bilingual in English and Vietnamese and would love to teach Vietnamese to the children that I take care of. I am a Mental Health First Aider. I participated in the Caregiver and Child Intervention 6 weeks program with Seattle Children’s Play Therapy. I have finished The Parent Leadership Training Institute at Everett Community College fall 2021. I have a clean background check. I have a Subaru car which is insuranced with a clean driving record. I am more than happy to drive kids to educational activities such as story times, baby and toddler gym, zoo, aquarium… I am up to date with vaccinations including Covid, flu shot, Tdap. I pay attention to details. I design daily activities based on parents' wants and child’s needs, making sure children hit their development milestones, and encouraging learning social and emotional skills via play. I want to help children advance their language development through reading, singing and talking to children. I coordinated with parents to develop systems that encourage positive behaviors. I manage a calendar of events and appointments including lessons, playdates… I want to make sure I am able to connect on a deep level, build a safe, loving relationship and offer a stable environment to nurture your child. I want to have open communications with the parents and be a part of your family.

Nguyen was great with my 3-month-old daughter. She was very engaging which was great for my daughter as she continued to have longer awake windows. She took her for walks, took her to the tot room at the nearby community center and she read to her. She was a huge help to me by introducing me to the Huckleberry app which we used to track my daughter’s daily activities and to see trends. She also helped with sleep training which has been going really well. She was on time, communicated well, and took pictures and video clips throughout the day. She definitely made my life easier and I would be happy to use her again!

We hired Denise for our 15 month old boy on a very short notice for a weekday when the daycare was closed. We couldn’t have gotten luckier! She is a wonderful, warm person and is also extremely professional. My little one loved her instantly and was very happy to spend time with her for the entire day! She is amazing with babies. I highly recommend her and would surely hire her again!

Rachael D., Nanny in Des Moines, WA 98198 with 15 years of paid experience

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I'm currently looking for a position around 20-30 hours per week starting after 9:30/10 a.m. My pay rate range is $30-$40. I'm flexible on position responsibilities and hours/days. About Me: I moved to Seattle a year ago and have fallen in love with the PNW! I spend most of my free time exploring with my golden retriever, Grace. I enjoy a large variety of hobbies, such as hiking, photography, music, crafts, and sports. I have over 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, stable environment with a focus on fun, learning, and balance. I plan outings, activities, etc. to keep kids engaged and happy while also ensuring that they have downtime to recharge. I recognize that all families and all children are different. I can quickly adapt my approach based on the uniqueness of each child and the needs of the family. Hope to hear from you soon!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Rachael. From day one, she gained the trust of both of my kids through her warm tone, playful energy, and genuine attention to who they are as individuals. She has a special talent for making everyday moments fun and cooperative. For example, when my son was deep into space and astronauts, she turned breakfast into “astronaut fuel from outer space” — and suddenly eating was an adventure instead of a struggle. She’s thoughtful like that. She remembers little details about each child (like how my younger one likes his morning “nest” with all his stuffies and a blanket) and uses those details to make them feel safe and understood. She is incredibly responsible and reliable — always on time, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. I especially appreciate how responsive she is. Mornings can be hectic, and she consistently shows up ready to help. One of her first questions is, “How can I help?” — and she means it. She’ll jump in to tidy up blankets, reset the couch, or handle small things without being asked. It makes such a difference. What stands out most is how calmly and proactively she navigates tricky moments. Once when my son was upset and crying in the car, she had already anticipated the possibility and brought bubbles to help him regulate — which worked beautifully. Another time, she noticed him swinging a chip clip on a string in a way that could have been unsafe. Without any prompting, she stepped in kindly, explained the issue, and he willingly stopped — and hasn’t done it since. She handles safety with confidence and warmth, not fear or overreaction. She drives my kids to daycare in the mornings, and I feel completely at ease knowing they are with her. She brings a bubbly, joyful presence into our home that we all genuinely look forward to. Any family would be lucky to have her.

I’ve spent years working with kids in all kinds of settings — babysitting babies and toddlers, helping out in kindergartens, and supporting groups of children in different programs. I truly love what I do. Watching kids learn, grow, and discover new things has always been one of my favorite parts of the job. Whether I’m calming a baby, helping with early learning skills, or creating fun activities, working with children is something that brings me so much joy.

We hired Lesley to help take care of our 3 month old infant overnight. She is very good at soothing a baby who only contact sleeps, and quickly adapted to nuances of care. She is very easy to get along with and clearly loves children. We are looking forward to the remaining month and a half of time we need her assistance overnight.

I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to connect with others, whether it’s pets, children, or elderly individuals. There’s something incredibly rewarding about providing care and seeing those I look after feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I enjoy the flexibility of the job, too, as it allows me to balance my time while helping others with their needs. It’s fulfilling to know that I’m offering peace of mind to families or pet owners. have experience in [pet sitting/babysitting/elderly care], where I’ve learned to manage tasks like feeding, administering medications, and providing companionship. Over time, I’ve gained confidence in caring for different individuals, whether it’s keeping pets entertained and active or helping children with their daily routines. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with families on various occasions, which has improved my ability to adapt to different needs and preferences. I have strong communication skills, which help me interact effectively with both the individuals I’m caring for and their families. I’m also trained in first aid and CPR, which I believe is an essential skill for any sitter. I have experience managing schedules and routines, especially with children or pets, and I’m good at keeping everything organized. I’m patient, compassionate, and enjoy being proactive in addressing any challenges that may arise, whether that’s calming an anxious pet or ensuring a child feels safe and secure.
