A little bit about me

Hello! I’m Blake, a creative and nurturing nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience, including more than a year as a professional nanny for children under 3. I’m CPR and first-aid certified for all ages and have experience with newborns and overnight care. I’ve also worked as an assistant daycare teacher at a nature-based Montessori preschool. I’m available for a long-term, full-time, or nanny share position starting in November.

I love getting kids outdoors and teaching them about our local plants and animals. I also enjoy sharing art, cooking, and second-language basics like Spanish and ASL. Outside of work, I’m a trained Doula and am passionate about continuing my education in areas like aromatherapy and infant massage.

I have a clean driving and background record, plus a kid-friendly car for outings. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to provide references. Feel free to check out my website for more info: threemoonsnurtureandcare.com.

The most important part about being a nanny...

In my experience, the most important qualities of a nanny are patience, understanding, and a nurturing approach. I love using Montessori-inspired methods to help children learn through hands-on exploration and independence. My goal is to give kids the tools they need to make thoughtful choices, foster self-confidence, and create a safe, supportive environment where they feel free to make mistakes and grow. Each day, I strive to empower children with a love of learning and self-discovery in everything we do together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments as a nanny is seeing my little ones apply what we’ve learned together. I love teaching them about our local plants and animals, and it’s so rewarding when they start spotting different species on their own. It’s wonderful to see their curiosity and understanding grow! Another joy is introducing them to a second language, which becomes like a little secret code we share. Moments like these remind me why I love doing what I do!

Jessica S. - Seeking Work in Olympia

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Olympia, WA: Jessica S.

I am a pediatric RN who is looking for a better work life balance. I worked as in I home caregiver for children with developmental disabilities to put myself through Nursing School, and currently an taking a break from my work at Mary Bridge Children's hospital.

I am looking for a family for whom perhaps I could transition out of bedside nursing. While I have thoroughly e joyed my time at a pediatric nurse, the industry has simply worn me out, and while I understand the position is not nursing based, I am sure my experience is transferrable.

My nursing license is active, and I specialized in emergency medicine, bringing my family and yours some peace of mine when it comes to the care of the little ones.

I am also married, live in Olympia, and have a 6 year old son of my own, so the mother touch is there too. I have a license to drive and my own vehicle, although it is a small commuter car, and a larger vehicle would need to be available for use if the position demands it.

Bonnie C. - Seeking Work in Olympia

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Olympia, WA: Bonnie C.

Hello there! I am a single mum of two school age boys. I was blessed with being a stay at home parent when they were younger and have since been working full time at a private preschool. Facilitating the development of little ones is my career path of choice and my true passion! I am hoping to find work that allows me to spend more time with my own kiddos while remaining on this career path. I am a workshop/seminar enthusiast which motivates me to stay engaged and growing as an educator and care provider. We make a lot of art in my home and spend a lot of time outdoors whenever possible. My older son is special needs and incredibly imaginative which is so much fun, also challenging! The younger fella is very interested in science and loves to build/construct some really rad creations. ❤️ I love music, making and cleaning up messes, and most of all, quality time and connection. Maybe I could be the right fit for your family!
