Experienced Early Child Educator

Avg response < 4 hrs

The last 14 years of my work were the most rewarding; they were devoted in nurturing children age 0-5 in different settings: home care, schools and centers. I spent 7 years working children center in CA, specifically with Infants and Toddlers, who were delightful, and I built strong long term relationships with them and their families. My extensive experience using R. I. E. and R' philosophies and techniques, have helped children develop self confidence, self skills, personal interests, as well as empathy and respect for others. Establishing a trusting relationship with the children and their families is my first objective. I relish the chance to channel my care and expertise helping families. I am passionate about nature and love to expose children to activities in these marvelous WA outdoors. I am the proud Mom of a 19-year-old boy, studying and a 16-year-old girl, studying and cheer leading. I am fluent in Italian, English and Spanish.

Nanny/Trained Chef

Avg response < 9 hrs

I am the mother of three grown sons. At one time I had three under the age of three so I am not easily rattled. Our family has employed many nannies from around the world and its been a wonderful experience. I adore children and pets, can pass all required checks. I have taken CPR and First Aid. I have been a small business owner for many years and am now semi retired. Recently I have realized that I would love to help out another young family with their wonderful children and some household chores. Ive learned so much from my children and their caretakers. I am creative and think outside of the box. Very nurturing and patient. Currently I volunteer in the local community and do strongly believe that it does " take a village." Am also a trained chef so meal prep and errands are ameanable.

Gig Harbor/Tacoma Nanny

Avg response < 3 hrs

Hi, I come from a large family of 3 sisters and 2 brothers and a bus load of cousins, second cousins, nieces and nephews. So I have always been around kids and babies in some capacity over the years and have babysat and nannied for friends and family. I am a stay at home mom; my ideal set up would be to nanny 1-2 kids and have my 1-year-old daughter with me (either at my house or yours). I am not CPR certified but my brother in law is a firefighter and CPR instructor and I am in the process of getting my certification. I drive a safe minivan so I have plenty of room for car seats, bikes, sports gear etc. and I am happy to accommodate sports/activities/errands before and after school & drop off/pickup. I am also a big animal lover and lived on a farm for 10+ years. I am very comfortable around dogs large and small, cats, parrots, horses etc and can help with their care as well.

Loves Learning And Having Fun!

Hi, there! I'm a college student who loves to be around people (and animals) of all ages. Whether I'm watching a 10-year-old or 10 dogs, we'll all be having fun while doing interesting and safe activities. My favorite season is Winter and I love animals. After babysitting/ nannying for 5 years, I've discovered that fun with kiddos never gets old!

Meera is AWESOME. She is energetic, positive, and just completely wonderful. She will not let you down. It's terrifying to find someone to take care of our hearts, but she is strong, intelligent, hard-working, resourceful, and so kind.

I have been taking care of children for over 6 years now and have developed long standing relationships with those I worked for. I have taken care of children as young as 3 months old and I have experience in all age groups. I love pets, the outdoors, and arts and crafts! I'm responsible, caring, hardworking, and reliable in all jobs I take. I truly enjoy developing a relationship with the families I help, and I hope to help yours too!

Cami nannied for me when my little boys were 10 months old and 2 years old. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was cheerful, energetic, resourceful, and really wonderful at connecting with my kids. It's so much work caring for a crawling, climbing baby and an active toddler and she was able to handle it with grace. She took my kids on age-appropriate outings (to places like parks and to the zoo) and organized cute activities for them at our house. She was a fantastic nanny and we still use her for babysitting whenever possible.
