A little bit about me

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!
