"My name is Amy, and I hired Aaliyah as a part-time nanny to help with taking my children to school and after school care when I was a single mom and worked full-time. She engaged extremely well with my children and they absolutely loved her. Aaliyah is very patient and empathetic. Very organized and a great communicator. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a trustworthy, loving nanny for their children."

Megan Kelley from Olympia, WA
I have spent some time over the years babysitting for multiple children ages ranging from infant-12. As well as caring for a lovely young man with down syndrome, which required more than average responsibilities defusing arguments with siblings and lending an understanding ear. I have no problem making meals/snacks that fit dietary restrictions, changing clothing and personal hygiene, as well as keeping children safe and entertained. I enjoy creating fun arts and crafts projects, building an awesome lego set, playing some games, or even just relaxing and watching some kid friendly tv/movies; if screen time is okay of course I have no problem enforcing screen time rules and creating other activities. Overall I have spent many hours babysitting and volunteering in my church's children's ministry working with kiddos and am hoping to get back to it. I am currently working at a local pizzeria in Bellingham and am missing my passion of working with children!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Lauren, and I am 22 years old. I am willing to work full-time.
I am a graduate of Western Washington University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I was deeply interested in child development throughout my time in college, and I worked as a preschool teacher immediately post-grad. I love children and watching them grow and develop, and I put a lot of importance on building emotional regulation and coping skills from an early age.
When I'm not working, I love doing yoga, different types of art, playing the Sims 4, taking walks, reading everything from fantasy to academic journals, writing either fiction or poetry, and spending time with my bunny.

A little bit about me
Hey there! I'm Clementine.
Experience- I have 10+ years of child care experience, not including unpaid care giving for my younger siblings. I have worked with children of varying age ranges from 4 weeks to 13+ years. I have cared for different ratios of children as well, 4 infants at a time, 7 toddlers/pre-schoolers at a time, and 20 school agers (5yrs-12yrs), giving me patience, and multi-tasking skills. I have been working mainly as a nanny for 5+ years, but also have several years working as a daycare teacher & a pre-school teacher. I am trained in both infant and children first aid/cpr. I'm certified as a montessori teaching assistant, a certified peer counselor and certified in postive discipline. I have a ton experience with neurodivergent children and disabled children. I have my food handlers as well, and have been preparing meals for all children I've taken care of in the past. I can prepare any food with no problems, as I’ve worked with several children with allergies. :)
