Montana L., Nanny in Des Moines, WA 98198 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Montana. I am mostly looking for one-time childcare positions. I am available immediately with open availability! I have 5+ years of experience that comes from working as a nanny, working at youth summer camps, and babysitting. I have reliable transportation and am located in the Seattle area. I am also comfortable with pets in the home. ☺️ I can not do one-time/occasional sits for sick children - only long term families that I nanny for. If a child is sick upon my arrival for a babysitting visit, I will not be able to stay for the evening. I also prefer to meet families virtually or in person before committing to a job! Thank you for understanding.

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!

Donaisha P., Nanny in Des Moines, WA 98198 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello families! My name is Donaisha, but I go by Dee. I am originally born and raised in California, and have been a resident here in Washington for about 5 years now. I am a mother to a beautiful, sweet, smart, funny, outgoing and friendly 6 year old daughter (Kenya). I call her my assistant as she sometimes has to accompany me to jobs I pick up here. She is the reason I began my nanny journey back in 2017. During the past 6 years I have done pretty much every setting when it comes to childcare! Such as, day cares, baby sitting, date nights, overnight care, Montessori teacher, private home educator, learning pods, camp counselor, and tutoring. It’s truly a passion of mine to not only be apart of experiencing these kiddos growth, but also being able to help take the load off of parents who may be juggling a lot. I am Montessori certified, CPR and first aid certified, and up to date with all vaccines. My schedule is currently open and flexible for this upcoming summer and I would love to meet and connect with more families!

Hi there, I'm Chloe! I hope to provide a fun, loving, and safe environment for your little ones. I have about a year and a half of professional experience in childcare. I have cared for my niece and nephews regularly from birth through childhood as well. I am a Medical Assistant so I am certified in CPR and have first aid training. I believe my clinical experience caring for adults, babies, children, and seniors has strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and responsive. Currently, I am taking a step back from clinical work so I can go to school for nursing. I’m absolutely thrilled at this opportunity to get back into childcare! I'm patient, dependable, and happy to follow your household guidelines and communication preferences. I enjoy crafts, outdoor adventures, and can assist with light housekeeping, errands, and travel. I love cooking so I’d be more than happy to help out with meal prep, packing lunches, and providing snacks. I’m experienced with cooking vegan and vegetarian options if needed. I have a car with a valid license and insurance so I can assist with any transportation that may be required. I love animals of all kinds and sizes so I am more than comfortable if you have pets! Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you and your family! :)

Jasmine K., Nanny in Des Moines, WA 98198 with 4 years of paid experience

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.
