I have references, food handlers permit and decades of child care experience. I have reliable transportation, a spotless driving record and am a non-smoker. I enjoy the company of children from newborn to school-age and am familiar with "Baby Signing". I am a certified Happiest Baby on the Block Educator. I am also a trained Postpartum Doula (newborn care specialist) In addition, I am a certified Medical Assistant. Lastly, for your peace of mind, I have a fresh background check with Care. com. Send an email and let's get to know each other!

I recently accepted a nanny position, but I am still looking for families who need an occasional sitter for date nights. I prefer weekend nights but weeknights are fine as long as it's after 7 p.m. and with a few days notice. I have around seven years of experience with babysitting as well as one year as a full-time nanny. I am the last of six children and started helping with my nieces and nephews when I was seven. I have a dog and am very comfortable with pets. I have experience with house cleaning and cooking as well. I'm comfortable with children of all ages, but I'm a little nervous with newborns due to less experience. I enjoy going for walks with my dog, relaxing outside, and picking up a good book from the library. I love reading books to children! I just moved to Port Orchard and have no problem driving to towns nearby. I recently completed adult, children, and infant CPR and first aid training through the American Heart Association. It is applicable for the next two years.

Graduating valedictorian of my high school class, I became a certified Paraeducator, working as a Personal Care Assistant to a young man having Autism. I was a Home Health Aide for two individuals with Cerebral Palsy and I spent my summers working at a center for children with disabilities. Marriage took me to a new state where I began nannying for multiple families. Two of these positions allowed me experience with twins while another became a position in which I would train Au Pairs for the family. After starting my own family, I began giving piano lessons to beginners of all ages as well as tutoring children struggling with reading and math. I have taken a few college classes, although I have not yet earned a degree. I am formerly trained in first aide, AED and CPR, with intentions to become recertified soon. As a homeschooling mom of four, a child in my care will become a part of the family, receiving love, education and fun alongside my children. I look forward to meeting!

I am the second of 5 children. I started babysitting when I was 12. I cared for families with up to 5 children (the youngest being twins). My husband and I have raised three successful children. I have finished 3+ years of Elementary Education. I was a kindergarten teacher's assistant for 6 years. I spent 10 years in the kids shoe division at a fashion retailer. I find that I miss being around children and I have happily hung up my corporate hat. I am currently with 2 families. I love being able to make their lives a bit smoother.

Hi there! I'm a Navy Veteran. I'm currently looking for work in the fields of babysitting, dog sitting and caring for older loved ones. I love shopping, cleaning and cooking so if you need it, I can provide it! I have 10 plus years volunteering with dogs and kitty cats and have a dog named daisy. My experience with sitting children include my own family and neighbors, but extend from the Bentonville Boys and Girls Club in Arkansas. I worked with children between the ages of 5 and 12 for 4 summers and they were amazing! Arts and crafts are my favorite and I love to teach! I am comfortable with transportation and would be more than happy to go to the park and play soccer too. I also helped a fellow Veteran with her premature baby for six months. I believe children are the most important way for our world to be better. It starts with good care and I am more than happy to provide that for you. Thank you for considering me! Have any questions?

I have babysat children ranging from 7 months to 12 years. I am able to cook or clean if needed. I am CPR and Basic Life Skills certified through the American Heart Association. I enjoy to play with the kids, take them to the park, and even do arts and crafts. I have dealt with pets as well so that isn't a problem if you have one. The kids will be cared for appropriately and I will tend to them with patience and kindness.

I have babysat multiple times before. I have watched siblings, cousins, neighbor kids, and my parent's friend's children; ages varied from 6 months to 12 years. I have stayed overnight with the children for their parents' date nights. I am able to cook for the children, clean up after them, bathe them, and put them to sleep. I love to play with kids and they are a large part of my life. I am a very responsible person, who will care for kids to the best of my ability. I looking to gather opportunities and experience for my future career! I love, watching kids, playing with kids, and teaching kids. Kids have always been in my life and I want to make a future out of nurturing and empowering children!

I am a graduate from Sonoma State University class of 2017. I have 10 years experience watching children and love it! I have various references and am able to provide a resume. Please contact me, thank you! -Michelle

I've helped with raising my brothers their whole lives, they are now 13 and 16. I help take care of my friend's son who is 23 months old. I regularly take care of a 5-year-old girl and have being doing so since she was 2. I enjoy helping them with whatever they need and taking them out to do stuff, learning to drive and etc. I enjoyed as a kid like going to the park or playing soccer. I'm a good cook and am more than open to meal preparation. I spent my last year working in geriatrics as a care giver, mainly in a Dementia/Alzheimer's unit.

They say to choose a career doing something you genuinely love to do so that you never have to work a day in your life, so I have chosen a life-long commitment working in the childcare field. I come from a big family with tons of little cousins, so naturally love being a teacher and mentor. I'm a big kid at heart and don't think I could've chosen a better career. There is nothing more rewarding than to have the privilege of watching these amazing little kids grow into their own person with their own unique interests, quirks, and senses of humor. I am dedicated to providing quality care by nurturing each individual child's academic, physical, emotional, and social development. I feel that my job as a childcare provider is to partner with the parents and be an extension of them while they're gone, reinforcing respectful behavior and guiding with clear boundaries and positive age-appropriate discipline. My hope is to make a positive impact on children's lives and am currently working towards a degree in early childhood education with plans to open a preschool in the near future. About my work history: I have held positions including infant and toddler teacher, preschool teacher, in-home Nanny/house-manager, and Site Leader for the YMCA's K-5 Before & After School program working in every elementary school in the Gig Harbor school district. I am qualified to work in various childcare settings with certifications such as STARS, infant & adult CPR & First Aid, HIV/AIDS, Blood-borne Pathogens, food handlers permit, valid WA driver's license with a clean driving record and 10 years of transporting children as young as 1 year to various activities, and a cleared background check through the Department of Early Learning. As for my personality, I am genuinely a people person, very fun-loving and down to earth, engaging, considerate, and connect with others through humor. I am passionate about life and helping others and strive every day to be a better person in both my personal and professional life. I have a strong work ethic, morals, and greatly value respect, honesty, and open communication with the families I partner with. I am professional and organized, dependable, ethical, punctual, and flexible. I am hoping to find a part-time position working in the Gig Harbor or Port Orchard area (not wanting to cross the bridge in Tacoma) with a family who is compatible with my values and who can offer approx. 25-35 hours per week. My rates range between $12-$16 per hour which I determine by considering how many hours and days per week, how many children and their ages, as well as job responsibilities. I am hoping to be with a family for the next 1-3 years until I finish up school, and appreciate collaborating to put together a work agreement that outlines expectations and responsibilities that will work both for the family as well as myself. I have been told that I'm fun and easy to work with and a "breath of fresh air". I am very considerate and thorough in communication and always try and be as accommodating and flexible as possible to make your life easier in any way I can, and hope to find a family who understands the value of a Nanny who puts her whole heart into what she does. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and tell me a little about your family and childcare needs. Thank you for your consideration!
