Hi, I’m Molly, a childcare professional looking for full time work in Seattle! I have been nannying for 7 years (part time during college, full time since graduation) for ages newborn - 6 years old. I have my own car, I’m comfortable with pets and light housework/meal prep for kiddos.

Hi! I’m an energetic, responsible caregiver with a strong background in youth instruction and hands-on creative activities. Through my experience teaching workshops and community classes to kids of various ages, I’ve developed plenty of patience, clear communication, and an adaptable approach to every child's unique personality. I’m First Aid certified, have my own reliable car, and love keeping kids engaged with fun crafts, building projects, outdoor play, and helping with light meal prep or bedtime routines. I’m dependable, safety-focused, and excited to support local families with weekend, evening, or daytime sitting! Feel free to reach out to chat or set up an introductory call.

A little bit about me
I love to be around kids, I have worked as a juvenile counselor before and have a child of my own. I know what it is like to be a working parent and I am willing to care for children in my own home. I do not have full-time availability because I am an only parent. Perhaps date nights :). I am CPR verified, I have fingerprints on file and a clean background. I am willing to nanny on my days off to help offset some of my own child care expenses. Thank you for reading and I look forward to connecting with yall!

A little bit about me
Hello!
My name is Ella Peter and I am a graduate student at University of Washington getting my Masters in Educational Speech Pathology. I've been in child care for 8 years now and have enjoyed all the amazing relationships I've been able to create with the children I've encountered. A little bit about myself is that I grew up in San Diego in a very active family of 5 and love everything outdoors! I have previous experience at the Santa Barbara RiteCare Language Center for children, ski instructor for all ages, nannying for families with kids from 11 months to 15 years old. I can send references if you'd like to speak with my previous employers!

Nanny Amy
"Amy made a natural connection quickly with our 4 year old son and has been our go-to babysitter for 1 year and a half now. She engages with him and keeps him well entertained. He is not quick to trust new people, so we were ready for her to be challenged. She handled him very well. She is trustworthy and takes her job seriously. We recommend her to everyone!"
