Washington$23/hr  |  10+ years experience
Hello! My name is Dominique Smith, and I would love to be your nanny! I have over ten years of both formal and informal nannying experiences. As an older sister, I take the rules seriously, but as a nanny, I understand that there has to be room for mistakes to grow. I am part free-spirt, three/fourths "no running but the pool." I create a safe space for growth and curiosity, friendship, and discipline. I want every child I meet to feel loved, cared for, and seen.

Perla Esmeralda
Northwest Washington, Washington$23/hr  |  5 years experience
I am a responsible, patient, and loving childcare provider with over two years of experience as an au pair in the United States. As the eldest of seven siblings, I began caring for two of my younger brothers at the age of 14 while my mother worked full-time. My natural maturity and strong sense of responsibility allowed me to manage their daily needs with confidence. I also helped care for my baby cousin, whom I love like a niece, since she was an infant. These early experiences shaped my passion for childcare and taught me how to nurture, guide, and support children with love and structure. I specialize in creating safe, stimulating, and emotionally supportive environments where children can grow happily.
