We are seeking part-time nannies and babysitters as well as summer only nannies and candidates for positions for the upcoming school year.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. Thank you for the consideration!

Whether you are a veteran yourself or someone in your family served, most people have a connection to someone who was killed in action while serving their country.

The Office of Student Veteran Life invites you to join us for Memorial Day is… our annual week of events aimed at raising awareness of the true meaning of Memorial Day: coming together as a community – military, veterans, family and friends, to honor the lives of those who served, and to mourn the loss of those who made the ultimate sacrifice and never returned home.

Check out our event lineup and register for individual events below, or visit our website for complete details. We hope you can join us as we honor our fallen service members and find new ways of engaging through our community’s shared loss. 

Banner Signing

May 22-25, 1000 – 1600
HUB Lawn

Please stop by the HUB Lawn during the week of Memorial Day to sign the Memorial Day is… banner with the name of a fallen service member that you were connected to, or reflections on what Memorial Day means to you. The banner will be out every day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front of the HUB Lawn. All are welcome to participate!

Almost Sunrise Screening

Tuesday, May 23 – 1900

Savery 264

This moving documentary follows two Iraq veterans who are tormented by depression for years after they returned home and pushed to the brink of suicide. The two embark on an extraordinary journey – a 2,700 mile walk across the country from Wisconsin to California, in order to reflect on their haunting experiences of war and to ultimately, save themselves. Will this epic pilgrimage allow them to begin the new life they so desperately seek? RSVP

Memorial Day is… Ceremony
Thursday, May 25 – 1200
HUB Lawn

As we honor those that we’ve lost, we remember that Memorial Day is not about glorifying war, but acknowledging the ultimate sacrifice made by the individuals who have served and worn the uniform of a U.S. service member. This year’s ceremony honors Second Lieutenant Robert Leisy, UW class of 1968, who was killed in the Vietnam War and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.     RSVP

Memorial Day 5k

Monday, May 29 – 0800
Medal of Honor Memorial

This isn’t your typical 5k: We don’t run for times. We don’t run with numbers. We run to honor the life and legacy of those we have lost: our brothers and our sisters, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, family and friends. The event is free, but T-shirts will be available for $20, with all proceeds going to the Washington State American Gold Star Moms.  RSVP

United Way of King County is building a team of 100 AmeriCorps VISTAs to lead Summer Meal sites in your community and across King County June 21 – August 29.

Why Summer Meals? Each year, thousands of local families struggle to keep food on the table and kids engaged while school is out. Fuel Your Future Summer Meals members work with civic and nonprofit leaders to provide nutritious meals and educational programming for youth at high-poverty sites in their community.

Launch a nonprofit career with a summer of service. The Summer Meals team is a fantastic career building opportunity for students or recent grads to receive training and professional development, a $1,222 monthly stipend, and a $1,194.71 AmeriCorps Education Award to pay off student loans or to fund future education. Our summer corps members also receive top priority for our longer term positions focusing on nutrition access and education, financial empowerment and ending homelessness beginning this fall.

More info at:  https://www.uwkc.org/about-us/americorpsvista/

As an alumnus of these programs, I can vouch for the invaluable impact a year of service with United Way has had on my personal and professional growth. Thank you in advance for sharing these positions with your communities!
