Gig Harbor Child Care

I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. Since that time I have done just about everything child care related. I have worked in a daycare, Camps, and has been a nanny for 2 years for a 2-year-old and a infant. I just recently moved back from about a month ago. I lived there for about 6 months, working as a nanny and exploring the island. I am back and am currently taking classes, working towards my Bachelor's degree. I have lots of experience with infants to 12-year-old kids!

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.

Taking care of young children, especially babies, is rewarding but sometimes challenging. Over the years, I have developed special techniques that prove useful in calming young babies, including the most restless ones. I am in favor of a structured day as it gives children an opportunity to follow a schedule and to learn and understand discipline. I take safety extremely seriously, I have a very safe car to transport your children if need be (2016 Mercedes-Benz c300). . I am also certified in CRP(adult/infant)/AED and standard first aid. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment for the children in my care. As a camp counselor for four summers at a camp for underprivileged children, I provided a variety of lessons geared towards children in the 7 10 age group. Seeing children interact together in nature is by far a unique rewarding experience I ll always remember.

I have been a nanny for 12 years and taught preschool for 4 years. I love children and I feel like this is my gift in life. I typically stay with families for as long as they need me; I was with one family 10 years and another for 5 years. I like to think of myself as a house manager, I do everything from light cleaning, cooking, activities with kids, planning birthday parties, and anything you need help with.

I have been in child care for about 10 years. I owned my own in-home day care in Olympia for almost 2 years. I moved to Gig Harbor about 6 years ago. I have a regular nanny position, but am no longer working as many hours as I need so I am looking for another job. I'm also open to doing occasional/date night care I do have all my CPR, first aid, blood borne pathogens certifications, as well as a recent negative TB test. I have a clean driving record and background check. I am smoke, drug and alcohol free. I am also semi-trilingual. I say semi because I still have a lot to learn, but I can teach the basics in Spanish and sign language. I also do NOT have any children of my own that I would be bringing along.

Hello! I am excited to post my info and look forward to meeting you and your little ones! I have always worked with children in some capacity or another over the years and am currently working at the childcare nursery at my church on Sunday's and a few days during the month as needed for bible studies and MOPS. We average anywhere from 5-10 children at a time. I am a stay at home mom; my ideal set up would be to nanny 1-2 kids and have my 2-year-old daughter with me (either at my house or yours). I have great games, songs & activities that we play on Sunday's that are fun & educational. I am CPR certified (husband is a Fire Fighter & CPR instructor). I drive a safe SUV and am happy to accommodate sports/activities/errands. I have recently finished a wonderful nanny position for three children, in addition to my daughter. I provided before/after school & drop-off/pickup care. References available. Thank you!

I've been a nanny for two families in the last 15 years. One began as a part-time temp position and became a two year job ( and those children are now my god-children) and another began as a 6 month job caring for an infant. I still see the 11year-old regularly:) Before that I was a teacher, then director, of a daycare/preschool in a nursing home in Gig Harbor. I began as an assistant teacher, then was the lead, then the Director where I ran inter-generational activities for the kids and elderly.

I am a Western Washington University student planning on majoring in early childhood education. I have been nannying for 4 years with babies (as young as 5 months), toddlers, and school aged children. I worked at the YMCA for 2 years in the nursery with babies 6 weeks old to children 7 years old. I excelled there and was promoted to lead. Working with children is my passion! I believe that the best way to care for a child is to keep them busy, happy, and having fun, then when they're tired we can sit down and read books. I am in Gig Harbor until September 20th. I can supply recommendations upon request. Thank you for your time!

I love children and believe that they can teach us a lot. I enjoy helping them learn and grow to become the best version of themselves. I have been around kids my entire life in the equestrian community. I have taught riding lessons to kids and love it. I choose to live a healthy lifestyle. My personal interests are outdoor activities, yoga, riding horses and eating organic. I am passionate in my work and compassionate towards others. I strive my best to find the positive in all situations and take on challenges with a level head. My background of teaching yoga allows me to be calm and collective when working with children. I pride myself in being organized and completing tasks in a timely manner. I hope to assist children in their growth and development in a positive way so that they have the ability to become outstanding human beings. I have experience working with people with mental and physical disabilities. I am a certified WA State Home Care and CPR/ first aid certified
