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.

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!

I wanted to become a babysitter because I enjoy working with children’s and I find it rewarding to be able to provide care and being present in there life and support for families who need help. I also like the flexibility and variety that comes with babysitting, as every day is different and presents new challenges and opportunities for learning and growth.

Hello families! My name is Daikwan (however, I do go by Ryan). I am currently employed through Bellevue School District working as an educator for 3rd and 4th grade students. My prior experience working with children include working as a TA in a middle and elementary school setting, summer camp/after-school educator, and 2 years of prior nanny/babysitter experience as well. I have been in the Seattle area for about 1 year and 3 months currently and I have loved every second of the being in the PNW. Originally from the east coast, I started my chapter in Washington last September to embrace a fresh start, establish and develop new connections, and to work towards completing my last year of nursing school.

Hi there! I recently earned my degree in early childhood education from Skagit & Highline College, and I have been caring for children for 5+ years as a childcare provider. I work with all ages such as newborns, infants, toddlers, preschool, and school age. I love working with young kids as I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. I want to be able to provide parents with someone trustworthy to care for their children.

EXPERIENCE: Babysitting experience growing up in a large family. I was a nanny for many years, have been both lead and an assistant teacher as well in an early childhood setting. Both general education and special education. I'm familiar with the development of children from infants up to age five but I have experience with elementary aged children. QUALIFICATIONS: CPR and first aid certified. Trained in Safe Sleep for Infants. I have 30 hours of Child Care Basic (STARS) training as well.

ABOUT ME/CHILDCARE PHILOSOPHY: I have an unrelenting passion for service, helping others and child care. Everything I try to do is to spread joy, love, peace and putting kindness back into this world. I love doing so by modeling it to future generations. I believe in fostering the development of young children through the investment of time and in cultivating their natural love of learning and exploring the world around them in a way that doesn't compromise their safety. The enrichment of lives IS dependent on us nurturing individual developmental needs (social, emotional and academic) in a way that tailors what we teach them with how they learn best. Parent partnerships are very important. Open communication is the key and I will keep parents informed about how the day went. I'm firm believer in celebrating every child's successes and aspirations; who they are, where they are, and where they can go. I believe in gentle and respectful child care and treating children with kindness and patience even through tough moments. I look forward to the opportunity to be able to share these successes with any family I work with. HOURS OF AVAILABILITY: 5:00pm-10:00pm

I have been babysitting ever since I was 12 years old. I wanted to give back for all the years that I had been taken care of. I took a specific course to become a babysitter and started to babysit my neighbors. I had heard about a course specifically for babysitting, so I took it. After that I was good to go to babysit the whole neighborhood. It worked out perfectly while I attended UC Davis. I graduated with two degrees in Dramatic Art and Design, and two minors in Chicano Studies and Education. I love to teach it and create new things. I am also a Spanish native speaker. I was born in a town near Mexico City. I am very interested in teaching kids what I have learned and also try to have fun with them. Every time I babysit I like to teach the kids something new. Currently, I am a pre-K teacher. I am loving, fun, and entertaining to be around. Teaching kiddos is my passion. It’s the beginning of a new beginning in education. Please ask what my availability is for the summer! Gracias

Hi- My name is Dylan! I enjoy partnering with parents to ensure children receive the nurturing, consistency, care, and fun they need. I am a kid at heart and love to get down on the floor (or up in a play structure) to play with kids, encouraging their imagination, doing age appropriate science and art projects, adventuring outdoors, and facilitating their brain development through play, reading, and singing. It is important to me to model empathy, respect, and acceptance with the goal of empowering children to solve problems. Additionally, I am very skilled at multi-tasking and time management to ensure the safety and well being of all children in my care. Biggest strength: I give kids the attention they deserve! I am regularly referred to by parents as the 'kid whisperer' or 'Pied Piper.' While some believe I have magical powers (especially toddlers!), in truth, I am simply present and attuned to their needs and wants, through the laughter and tears. Experience: I have over 10 years experience as a babysitter and nanny for children birth to 12 years of age, providing care for up to 5 children at a time both in the family's home and traveling. I have volunteered as a child care provider for Pinay sa Seattle, co-facilitating a childcare group during meetings and events for up to 8 children ages 8 months-7 years. Additionally, I have experience as a birth and postpartum doula. I have worked with single parent and blended families, have experience with twins, ADD/ADHD, autism, food allergies, trauma, and preemie infant health issues.
