Elizabeth H., Babysitter in Ferndale, WA 98248 with 11 years of paid experience

Hello! I have been babysitting and nannying children of various ages for 11 years, and as an oldest child, I have been helping my parents care for my sisters for years. I have have earned a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, and I am very passionate about caring for people to help improve their physical, mental, and emotional health. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I have Basic Life Support certification (this includes training in CPR, AED, and the Heimlich maneuver). I work M-Th as a physical therapist, and I am looking to babysit/nanny on the weekends to add some fun to my week! In my free time, I love to cook and go for walks with my fiancé. I would love to have the opportunity to get to know you and your family.

Isabella is honestly the best! She brings such a warm, positive energy. My daughter absolutely loves her and gets so excited every single time she comes over. She doesn't just watch her, she’s right there playing and fully engaging with her. It gives me total peace of mind knowing my daughter is in such great hands. We couldn’t recommend her enough!

Margaret J., Babysitter in Ferndale, WA 98248 with 8 years of paid experience

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 💛

Kelly M., Babysitter in Ferndale, WA 98248 with 29 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Kelly. I am a homeschooling, single parent of three girls. I am looking for a babysitting/nanny position with a great family, so I can support my kids. Also willing to do light housekeeping and assist with pet care. Here is a little about me and my childcare experience. In addition to raising my own kids for the last 15 years, I also have been a private nanny and baby sitter for a few families. In all I have over 23 years of hands on experience in all aspects of caring for children, from newborn to teenager, and children with special needs such as colic, anxiety, panic and social disorders, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities and ADHD. I enjoy playing with children, both indoors and out, reading to children, coloring and crafts, playing board games, doing nature hunts (like a treasure hunt with "nature") and taking walks together. I think every child is a gift and a treasure and I absolutely cannot imagine a more rewarding thing to do than to care for children. My hobbies are spending time with my children and cats, vegetarian/ healthy eating, going for walks, baking (regular and gluten free), and I really love animals. I received my diploma for child daycare in April 2002. I also have my certification for CPR (adult, child and infant) and First Aid. Background check, driving record and references available on request. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!

Elizabeth M., Babysitter in Ferndale, WA 98248 with 25 years of paid experience

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.

I love being around kids, doing activities with them like going outside, reading books and doing puzzles. I have been babysitting since I was about 12 years old. I am currently a college student at WWU and I am getting my bachelors degree in Urban Planning. I love reading, walking my dog, going to the beach and trying new foods.
