Find experienced babysitters in Saint Helens, OR

Hi there! I am Abby (she/her). I graduated from the University of Washington in June 2024. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Communities, and Organizations with Disability Studies and American Indian Studies minors. I have been caring for children for 6 years as a babysitter and as the oldest sibling, as well as supervising children in summer camp and school settings. My babysitting experience ranges in ages from infant to twelve. I recently cared for a one year old for six months, starting when she was only six months herself - this included diaper changes, feedings, putting her down for naps, and taking her on adventures to Kids Club, swimming, and free events at the local library. I have also babysat toddlers and assisted them with potty training. I also babysit families with siblings ranging in ages of 2-4 and 6-10. I truly love working with kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. With each family I understand cleaning is not expected but light housework such as dishes, vacuuming, and tidying up the toy room is no problem for me! I have experience babysitting children with ASD and ADHD. I have found success in building relationships with these children through discussing triggers, what the child enjoys, and boundaries with parents before we start working together. I am also passionate about working with children with disabilities in the school setting. I am currently a substitute, often filling in as a paraprofessional. From September 2023 to May 2024 I held an internship as a substitute paraprofessional in the Seattle Public School system, regularly working at Concord International Elementary School. Nothing makes me happier than reading, doing crafts, playing games/puzzles and being outside! My number one focus is keeping the children happy but most importantly safe. I have my CPR certification and can run a background check upon request. I'm available ONLY on weekends, hopefully for the occasional date night. I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your children!

I have always loved babysitting, I am the oldest of 4 and have been babysitting for going on 10 years now! I recently relocated out here to Washington, from Cleveland, Ohio! I have my own car; I am responsible and take every babysitting job I get very seriously. I look forward to speaking with you about being your babysitter!

I’d love to babysit your little ones! I’m currently in school to become a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant and have experience working with kids at an elementary school, babysitting and helping in my church’s kids’ ministry. I’m responsible, patient, and love engaging with children through play and learning. Whether you need temporary care, a date night sitter, or occasional help, I’d be happy to chat and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

Being a babysitter is more than just watching kids; it's about creating a safe and fun environment where they can thrive. It's about being responsible and trustworthy, ensuring their well-being while their parents are away. I love planning engaging activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor games, that keep the children entertained and help them learn. It's also incredibly rewarding to build connections with the kids, becoming someone they look up to and trust. Handling different personalities and age groups teaches me patience and adaptability. Knowing I'm making a positive impact on their lives and providing peace of mind to their parents makes babysitting an enriching experience. Plus, every babysitting job is a new adventure with unique challenges and heartwarming moments!

Hi there! My name is Signe and I’m originally from Bellingham:) While in high school, I nannied and babysat for multiple different families ages 7 months to 12 yrs old! When I moved to Ridgefield in 2021 for beauty school, I also nannied for a family. They had a two and 4 year old! I’ve always loved being a nanny and taking care of others. Even in high school, I helped students who had special needs during their classes. I grew up in a big family and have nieces and nephews so watching littles is in my nature:) I am CPR and BLS certified as well. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Hi! My name is Katherine Janney, I am 20 years old and I attend school at Concordia university. I have had a lot of experience babysitting and also have been a nanny before. I was a nanny to two children when I was in high school. Duties included picking up from school, preparing snack, helping with homework and playing/doing activities with the kids until the parents came home. Currently I work at the YMCA of Columbia wallamet. I have worked there for over a year now in the child care center. I take care of kids ages 6 weeks to 10 years. My duties there are similar to a nannies. I feed the infants, change diapers, clean, play with the older kids, etc. I enjoy working with kids and being a positive influence in their life's. I am very interested in your nanny position and look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your consideration. -Katherine Janney

Hi! My name is Grace. I’m a caring, kind, and dependable babysitter with seven years of experience working with children of all ages. I absolutely love kids and enjoy spending time both outdoors playing games and indoors doing crafts, reading, or creating fun activities. I’m reliable, responsible, and always focused on creating a safe, positive environment. I have a black belt and a first-degree black belt in Krav Maga. Which has given me strong safety awareness, discipline, and the ability to stay calm in emergencies. I’m also happy to help with light housework, meal prep, and homework support. I have a flexible schedule and am committed to making your child feel supported, engaged, and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to work with your family!

I’ve never actually applied for a position as a nanny before but I have a big family so I pretty much grew up watching my younger cousins 24/7. I also have experience working in childcare, however, I haven’t worked since March of 2024 when I had my child. I definitely enjoy being around kids, childcare was probably one of my top favorite jobs minus the adults that I worked with. Childcare is probably one of the most drama filled jobs I’ve ever worked in. Despite all the drama, the kids definitely made it worth going to work. I’ve worked for a majority of curriculum based daycares and loved it. Being able to be apart of a child’s development and to watch them grow developmentally day-to-day is one of the most rewarding feelings ever.
