Colleen D. Babysitter in Lynnwood, WA 98037. Looking for work as a babysitter or mother's helper.

I am currently available evenings during the week or anytime on weekends for occasional or regularly scheduled needs.  If you have an urgent need during the week, check with me I might be available. I have my schedule in advance also so you never know!

My childcare experience started in the 4th grade with two toddlers! I have truly loved children my entire life. I continued babysitting through high school; then in college had a couple live in nanny jobs. For one and a half years, I lived with a family full time - at first there was a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old; followed by a newborn. So, yes, I have had experience with infants and "multiples". After college I began my working career but continued in my helping fashion. I married; we got into foster care; and followed that with adoption. I also did respite care for other foster families needing a "respite". This was usually weekends. My focus has been working with special needs populations. So, I've truly done all there is. I am also a guardian to an adult with developmental disabilities.

I always get along with all ages of kids. I'm fun and silly all the time. I play on the floor and am interested in what they are doing and thinking.

I have tons of professional references as well as child related.  I have a new safe car for outings as well.

I also have two dogs - one is a Springer Spaniel and the other is a Tibetan Spaniel. I love them dearly! I think I might love them more than some of my family! Previously I had two diabetic dogs and I gave them insulin shots for 11 years. If you have pets; that is great! No problem here!
