Hi, I’ve been helping with kids ages 0-10 years of age at my church and kids camps for years I also was a live in nanny for a week for my cousins while their dad was working. I’m currently in community college working to transfer to a university to complete a major in exercise science with an emphasis in pre-athletic training. I can be fun and entertaining but also authoritative if you need me to be. I’m looking for a part time job that works with my school schedule.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a student at Western Washington University majoring in Political Science, and I have several years of babysitting experience with family friends. I'm currently looking to help more families and would love the opportunity to support yours.
I genuinely enjoy working with kids and focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease while they're away, so I always aim to be reliable, attentive, and communicative.

I'm trained in CPR, Stop the Bleed, and basic first aid.

I'm happy to help with light household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and laundry to make things a little easier for you.
I grew up caring for pets as well, so I'm very comfortable around animals and can help with pet care if needed.
I'm dependable, flexible with scheduling, and would love to help care for your child and support your family!

A little bit about me

I have a genuine passion for caring for children and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow. While I am new to professional nannying, I have been caring for my three younger siblings since I was 13 years old and i have also been nannying part time on Mondays and Wednesdays. Through that experience, I’ve helped with after school routines, prepared snacks and simple meals, assisted with homework, and planned engaging activities both indoors and outdoors. I enjoy coming up with creative activities that keep kids active and learning, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or organizing games at home. I am also comfortable caring for pets, as I have experience with animals in my own home. am CPR and First Aid certified and have a reliable car for school pick-ups, activities, and errands. I am responsible, patient, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building positive connections with the children I care for.
