Northwest University

Hi there, my name is Eva. I am from Switzerland and have been a permanent US resident since 2001. I have many years of experience working with families and children, providing healthy and tasty meals, cooking for events, cultivating beautiful gardens, caring for pets and keeping homes clean, tidy and cozy! Growing up in Switzerland, I am fluent in german. I also am consistently striving to expand my spanish conversational skills plus I speak some french. Some skills that I enjoy offering to people are my love and passion for holistic health (I am trained in 5 Element Acupuncture), supporting people with their diet and nutrition (I worked many years as a vegetarian cook) and "family constellation work" (a form of therapy which focuses on identifying and resolving multi generational patterns within family systems). I have found that each human being can greatly benefit from being understood and recognized for their uniqueness and I am looking forward to meeting you and your family!

I have had extensive experience in house and pet sitting. I am available to check on animals daily or provide overnight care if needed.

I am an experienced Nanny who is mature, reliable, trustworthy, healthy, active, and believes in nurturing with lots of love. My disposition is patient, nurturing, caring, and positive. I have a natural love and respect for children, and a special love in caring for infants and toddlers. It's a joy to watch them learn new things and a great satisfaction to be a part of their growth. I have cared for infants, toddlers, children up to age 11, twins, and children with special needs. Excellent references can be provided. For 2 1/2 years, I was a nanny for three children, ages 3, 5 and 8. I provided support to the family by serving as a loving, nurturing and trustworthy companion to their children. It was my responsibility to tend to their basic physical needs, prepare meals, organize their play activities and outings, plan and supervise nap times, provide transportation to and from school, assist with homework, provide housekeeping when related to the children, set behavioral guidelines and provide discipline when appropriate. I have a genuine love for children, I love to watch children grow and develop to their potential. I believe that each child is a unique individual and attempt to create an environment that fosters each child's self-esteem and independence. My mission as a nanny is to partner with parents in actively promoting the optimal development of children in my care. Communication with parents is important to me in enforcing the same rules, routines, values, and discipline. Since many hours are shared between a nanny and children, I realize the importance of being a good role model, a loving influence, and a teacher. I can provide a fun, nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for children to play and develop, taking outings to parks, libraries for story time, educational outings to the zoo and children's museums, reading, playing games, arts and crafts, play dates with others, and creative play which can spark their imagination. I live in Covington with my husband and our little shih tzu-bichon friese mix dog, Missy. I love music, play the piano, and am currently teaching myself the violin.

I have 7 years of experience. And can help with light housekeeping, cooking, crafts, music and some study skills. I am easygoing, creative and fun, balanced with gentle but good guidance skills. I have a love for animals, nature and kids. And have worked with children in public schools, daycare, babysitting and as nanny.

I'm a positive and energetic undergraduate student in Kirkland! I have a 6-year-old brother, who I babysat all the time before college and a special needs brother who I babysat as well. During by early teens, I worked in the nursery at church, and during high school, I babysat for three families. I'm confident, energetic, and fun.

I am a student athlete at university and I'm studying to be a physical therapist. I play softball but have a lot of experience with other sports. I have cared for kids of all ages and love to be around them.

I am graduating in May from Northwest University with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have 15 years experience working with children in both home and school settings. I have been a respite caregiver with DSHS as well as 5 years in the Lake Washington School District as a special education paraeducator. As a paraeducator, I worked one-on-one with children with Autism, Down syndrome and Mitochondrial syndrome as well as assisted in the general education classroom. I assisted as well as taught math, reading, social skills, wrote social stories as well as took and charted data.

I have 8 (almost 9) years of experience working in this field. Upon request I would be happy to email you my childcare specific resume and all of my credentials! I also have wonderful character references, and references from families I have worked with for 2 plus years! I obtained my Behavioral Technician certification and have plenty of background with special needs if that applies to your family! I am happy to help you with anything you need! I can help with light housekeeping, grocery shopping, and more! I love working with children and want to do it for the rest of my career. I plan to teach next year in 2023 as I finish up my Masters. I love helping children grow socially, emotionally, and academically! I want to hear more about your family goals so I can help you and your children achieve them.

Zhanna Z. from DuPont, Washington HI! I am an energetic and creative nanny with more than 5 years of experience in childcare.
