Lessons in Seattle

As a big sister in a single parent home, I've been involved with childcare since early on. I babysat through middle school and occasionally in high school & college. In college I worked with youth of all ages. I volunteered in elementary classrooms, teaching lessons on Civil Rights . I also assisted in a bilingual classroom with my limited Spanish ability. Additionally, I worked as a summer camp counselor for middle schoolers supporting students towards a college education. My most recent childcare experience was the two summers I spent as a camp counselor for Seattle Parks & Recreation Specialized Programs where I cared for campers ages 4 to 18 with various cognitive, physical, and developmental disabilities.

Hello! My name is Austin G., I am certified teacher (Visual Arts/ ELA) seeking to find new students to tutor. I currently hold an bachelor's degree in visual arts, and a master's in education. I have been teaching for several years now, throughout the greater Snohomish County area. My experience includes traditional classroom settings, site-based experiences, and individualized tutoring. I am proficient in designing single lessons, or creating larger units to assist with student learning. I seek to work with students to help them become lifelong learners, and watch them succeed. I am proficient in educational technology, and remote learning to better help students in the coming school year.

I'm an energetic UW student who loves crafts and the outdoors! I have 13+ years experience of caring for kids - starting with my little sister, Bailey, who's seven years younger than me. I began babysitting regularly for family and family friends in middle school, and continued throughout high school and college. I also have experience volunteering at various kid's camps during the summer, including a STEM and a cooking camp. I'm comfortable caring for up to 4 children at one time, as I have experience subbing for nanny for a family with kids age 7-14. I've changed stinky diapers, cooked healthy meals, done bedtime routines with stubborn kids, and played outside for hours. When on the job, I love being creative and active! From teaching origami, giving beginner violin lessons, going on hikes, doing gymnastics, skate boarding, to tutoring math - I've got the patience and positive attitude to do my job. Looking to work regularly for a family during the summer and school year!

I have many different experiences working with kids. My first job as a lifeguard and swim lesson instructor as a teenager taught me patience as well as how to appropriately reprimand children at the pool. Throughout grad school, we worked closely with children with special needs in many different events while learning about childhood motor development from birth-young adults. I worked closely with a family for 3 years in graduate school that have two young girl with high functioning neurological disorders. I brought them through their exercises 3 days a week, and was able to pick up babysitting shifts whenever I could. I loved getting creative with them and always making the exercises fun to keep them engaged. I love to promote physical activity and learning in activities and just having fun! As a physical therapist, I have worked with kids 8+ with orthopedic conditions, and have some experience in grad school with infants as well!

I have 6 years of nannying experience, and have worked with kids all throughout college between the ages of 6 months and 13 years. I love kids, spending time with them lightens my mood, inspires me to think creatively, enhances my energy, and always puts a smile on my face! I believe I can be a great and fun loving friend to your child, but I also pride myself in responsibility, timeliness, cleanliness, and organization.

Hi, my name is Rebekah, but most people call me Bekah. I'm trying to get a foot in the door of the nannying business. Because of COVID-19, my position working at a summer camp has been made void. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, so about 12 years. I am up to date on both my CPR and first aid certification. I am lifeguard certified and have 4 years of experience teaching swim lessons. I have a degree in Culinary Arts, and am comfortable cooking and preparing meals. In addition to cooking, I have experience preparing for a variety of special diets including gluten-free. I love doing crafts and being outdoors. I am comfortable with pets even unusual pets such as reptiles and birds. I have my own car and am willing to drive kids places. My resume may not be the most impressive when it comes to official child care jobs, but I assure you that I do have experience.

I have years of experience teaching children on all levels K-12. I have programmed and implemented after school STEM programming which included tutoring and individualized lesson plans. This past year I have worked as an Education and Curriculum Coordinator with a local Seattle nonprofit organization. During this time I programmed and lead daily after school science programs with elementary schools around the Seattle area. I hold a BS from WSU and am currently pursuing an MA in secondary education with WGU. I have a passion for education and helping kiddos have the best time learning, and would love to use my skills to help families during this time!

I have many years of babysitting experience as well as nannying experience. While in school I had the pleasure of watching over a few family-friend's kids in home and after school settings. I helped out with meals, crafts, and putting them to bed. I have been studying piano since I was 5 years old and would love to find a family that would be interested in music lessons for their kids as well as I am trying to build my teaching portfolio! I am also bilingual, English is my second language my first is Russian and I am able to teach your kids a second language as well if this is something the family is interested in. I have a degree in Art and English, so am very creative and educated and would engage the kids in a variety of interesting activities daily! I can't wait to find a fitting family to help out!

Hello! My name is Mary & I am currently looking to help with remote learning (pre-k through grade 8) and/or nannying. I've spent my life surrounded by children of all abilities & ages. I have always been passionate about children & knew I wanted to spend my life doing something I love. I was a nanny for the directors of a summer camp at 14 & decided I wanted to have a career in education & childcare. While in high school, I became a CNA & later joined the Early Childhood Education program. While in college to become an elementary ed teacher, I nannied for a family with an infant son. I accepted the position knowing he was on a wait list for daycare. I later joined a family who had 8-month-old twins & a 5-year-old. I was with the family for over a year & ended due to taking a teaching position abroad. I have many educational certifications, lesson planning & tutoring experience and have dedicated my life to childcare/education. I am looking for the right family to commit to long term!

The YMCA has taught me a huge deal, including lessons that come in great use especially during these difficult times. My Theatre background is a huge part of my life and I use a lot of what I've learned to maneuver through childcare. I previously have experience as a Teaching Assistant/Camp Counselor for YMCA summer programs since 2014. I've helped children with English, both in the classroom and through my work as a tutor throughout college. I've managed huge groups of 25-35, almost of all ages; K-8. What I enjoyed most engaging with students, listening and making activities to create a fun environment. I strive to positively encourage children to safely step out of their comfort zone while giving the space for them to succeed. I also understand the importance of keeping a tight schedule. I've worked with children as young as 6 months. Laundry, cooking and light house-keeping are all can-do's. I hope to help out and thank you for your consideration! Varinique D.

I'm an admin professional who loves and has several years experience working with children. I've worked as a babysitter, camp counselor, school language assistant, and most recently as an elementary school administrator. Like many, I was laid off due to the pandemic. I'm looking for part to full-time work as a nanny to sustain myself. As a school administrator I have first-hand experience helping families with online school. I can help coordinate technology, monitor lessons, and structure your child(ren)'s at-home school day so that you can focus on work. I also have experience leading lessons and educational activities from my time as an English language assistant in France. I'm happy to have frank conversations about mutual Covid-19 precautions. My top priority is your family's health and well-being. My hobbies include cooking, knitting, reading, yoga, and socially-distanced hiking. I miss speaking French and would love to incorporate that into your child's life.

I've been nannying for the past 6 years and have been working with kids for the past 9. Teaching swim lessons in Blue Ridge, and solo coaching a team of 12-year-olds volleyball. Both being places I basically grew up in since I've always been into athletics mainly swimming starting in BR and volleyball. I continued my volleyball career at Shoreline CC. Currently more than 2 years in with a wonderful family, who treats me like family. But do need work starting by next fall due to the youngest going into full day schooling I have experience with all ages from a nanny share with a 4 month/6month old to a 12-year-old going into middles school. Nannying has been one of the most fulfilling jobs and overall a really great learning experience. Each family has taught me a lot and I'm very proud of the nanny I've grown into today. I'm very energetic and creative, also huge animal lover. Great with keeping kids entertained with crafts and staying active. (Extremely covid cautious.)

Hi there! I am fairly new to Washington, having moved here about two years ago from Atlanta. During my time there, I worked for an elementary school as a substitute teacher and then was hired on for the next school year into a permanent position as a second grade teacher's assistant. I also worked with an after school drama program as the assistant teacher/assistant director. While Covid has changed some things for us all, I have found a sense of familiarity from my experience as a nanny/tutor for a child transitioning to homeschooling. Through that, I learned how to create a fun yet functional environment for learning from home. I helped foster creativity and independence through art and cooking lessons to make learning interactive and interesting. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or requests for additional information! For those with Disney loving kids, I can tell you about my time as Princess Anna with a Party Princess Company.

I have 2 years of experience teaching piano lessons, I am able to travel to your home to teach piano.
