After being awarded for my volunteer work with Ready! For Kindergarten, I furthered my childcare knowledge with classes and certifications. I've worked with children ranging in age from 6 months to 13 years. I like to stay active with the kids, and love doing age-appropriate crafts (especially ones with science or math behind it). Adaptable and always willing to learn as I'd love to become a part of your family's routine. Also available for house and pet sitting. Additionally I am a licensed home care aide. State run background check available upon request.

Cailin is very responsible and a lovely human being. She was caring and firm with my son. A joy to have in our house. We stayed in touch even after she was done babysitting.

Hey, I’m Hazel! I’m a 21 year-old college student majoring in Marine and Coastal Science. I grew up caring for children ages 8 months to 10 years! Child care is something I’ve always enjoyed and have a lot of experience in different areas. I’ve assisted preschool teachers, babysat toddlers with younger siblings, and done after school care. I own a car and aide in school pick up or transportation if needed! Can’t wait to get to know your family :)

Hazel is kind and sweet-natured. Both of my shy kids (ages 11 and 6) took to her right away and said they enjoyed the time she spent babysitting. Definitely plan to have her help out again!

Hi there! My name is Margie and I've just moved to Bellingham. I have over eight years of childcare experience and excited to have more! For six years I was the lead counselor on a community farm in Portland, OR, for ages 5 to 12. We would play games in the garden, put on puppet shows, learn about wildlife, all while staying safe and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. I also enjoyed being a teacher for cooking classes where we'd cook yummy, kid-friendly meals with ingredients the kids harvested. I recently worked with the Corvallis Environmental Center and local elementary schools with farm and ecology based curriculum. If you couldn't tell, I am very passionate about our planet and love teaching little ones the importance of care and kindness for it. On top of that, I'm known to be bubbly, patient, observant, and understand the craziness kids can bring to our lives. I am Red Cross First Aid/CPR certified, have a car, and am great at cooking and keeping spaces tidy. I love taking children on nature walks, craft making, and telling stories. I have the most experience with kids ages 5 to 13, but have plenty of babysitting experience with ages 6 months- 4 year olds. Excited to help out your family! -Margie

We had Margie babysit for us during a trip to Portland, she came to our hotel while we went out for the evening and took great care of our baby. We got home and the baby was soundly sleeping and Margie had followed everything we asked her to do to a T. Communication was clear and easy, she was on time, and was very easygoing yet experienced. Margie was great to work with and we would definitely hire her again!

I am a nurturing loving mother, auntie, godmother. I love children of all ages. I believe each age has its own special milestones. My first job as a 15 year old was at a daycare. I worked there for 3 years and enjoyed it so much. Later in years I moved to Washington and was a nanny for twin babies. This was such a fulfilling and fun job. I will bring much love, affection and fun to your little ones 💛

Hi I’m Yana, I’ve had many years of experience with kids of all ages. I’ve often helped in schools, I previously worked as a swim instructor for children. My focus is to be cheerful and supportive towards children, to help them feel safe, cared for and secure. I would do my best to build a connection with any child and to feel like a friend to them as well being responsible in their safety.

Kids are my favorite people. I was a full-time nanny for three children for over 4 years — twins who were infants when I started and their four-year-old sibling. I was there for all of it: diapers, bottles, naps, first words, first steps, and every skinned knee in between. Crafts, forts, and afternoons outside were part of our daily rhythm, and I drove the school and activity run too. I'm especially good with babies and toddlers, but I genuinely enjoy every age. I keep the day structured because kids do better when they know what's coming, and I'd rather stay a step ahead of a transition than manage the meltdown after. I'm patient with big feelings, calm when things get loud, and I'm very active and outdoorsy — so getting kids outside, moving, and exploring comes naturally. Often enough kids need quiet time or a little personal space and I'm happy to help around the house when that occurs. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, a former lifeguard, and I have my own car and insurance.
