A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Emily! I am 22 years old and a recent graduated from University of Puget Sound. I now have my bachelors in Kinesology and Neuroscience and plan on applying to medical school in three years.
I love reading, the outdoors, and I have the most adorable cat!
I have a car to commute to you! I would be open to one time coverage or a long-term position.
I started babysitting when I was 13 (ages ranging from infant to 10. years old) and became a camp counselor at 17. Here, at camp, I spent 8 weeks of the summer with a cabin of ~12 campers ages 13-15 years old. I do, however, have experience working with all ages. At 15 years old, my family adopted newborn twins and I was a crucial part of their upbringing. I have a car to commute to you! I am graduating in May, but am planning on staying in the Seattle area post-graduation, and I would be able to move to full-time in the summer!

Hello! My name is Wolfgang, I am a 17 year old student pursuing a career in the medical field. I consider myself to be very hard-working and positive, I’ve always loved working with kids. I have a lot of experience in babysitting, my most recent job was a teaching position for 5-12 year olds. I’m a very calm, patient person. As someone who has done a lot of work with children struggling with learning disabilities, I have delved into research around ASD (autism spectrum disorder), ADHD, etc.

A little bit about me
I’m a very outgoing and bubbly person. Kids usually love my colorful hair! I have cared for kids of all ages and have been involved with caring for kids since I was 8 years old. I know how to handle tantrums, aggression outbursts, and all of the less pleasant behaviors a child might have. I’m great with helping kids do their school work, exercise, and I can teach them how to cook/bake, and much more. I have experience with potty training, infants, toddlers, young kids, pre-teen, and teens. I am CPR certified, first aid certified, valid drivers license, car, and insurance. I am only open to nanny jobs with the children being at my house. I work from home full time, with an older cat, kitten, and small dog (mini aussie). I am looking for part time or full time, depending on the situation. I prefer kids over 5, as I do not have the energy (currently expecting) to chase around a small child (1-3year old). PT a few hours a day for under 3 I am open to

A little bit about me
Hi families,
I graduated from college with a bachelors degree in Psychology in 2017 and have 6+ years of professional childcare experience. I love to stay active through dancing, daily walks, eat insanely healthy (I know! boring), read anything philosophical, get involved in my community, attend local live music gigs, morning mediation etc. You could say I have a very calm demeanor
