I’m Christarra McIntyre, a dedicated childcare professional with over a decade of experience working with children from infancy to school age. My journey began as a nanny for three children, and I later transitioned to a teaching role at Kindercare Learning Center, where I earned certifications in early childhood development, CPR, First Aid, and Blood Borne Pathogens. Which I have recently renewed. In Tacoma, I spent six years coaching competitive cheerleading, which helped me foster teamwork and resilience in young athletes. While in Los Angeles, I balanced caring for three boys with supporting their musician father on tour, demonstrating my adaptability in dynamic environments. Moving to Australia enriched my experience as a live-in nanny, where I provided not just childcare, but also educational support and language instruction. Upon returning to the U.S., I cared for two boys, one of whom had specialized needs related to an eating disorder. This experience highlighted my ability to manage complex medical situations with compassion. My time at Kiddie Academy allowed me to further nurture preschool-aged children. The last four summers I have been with one family and the last three years I have worked weekly with another family. Most recently, I’ve provided backup care and date night services for over 6 families, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for every child. I’ve done many school pick-ups and have driven many children. I have also provided a lot of pet care. I value attendance, engagement, structure, and bonding in my work, always prioritizing the voices and opinions of children with patience and respect. My commitment to creating a nurturing atmosphere and supporting holistic development makes me passionate about fostering positive experiences for the children in my care. I am currently seeking a part-time position with a loving family after 3:45 pm. I am currently in trade school full-time to become a carpenter. Thank you for your time and I look forward to speaking with you! Cheers, Christarra McIntyre

The last three summers I’ve been a camp counselor in Arizona and loved it! My favorite days at camp were swim days, I used to be a swimmer and the pool was fun for the kids. From this experience, I learned a lot more from my campers than I expected to. For instance, on a trampoline field trip, a bunch of my campers taught me to front flip (I didn’t have much say in the matter but I’m still glad they encouraged me) I am first aid/CPR certified as well and have experience with children who have disabilities. I have a sister with a disability (CDLS) and grew up helping take care of her. In Arizona I received article 9 training and have a finger print card. I currently go to college in California and am working towards being a nurse practitioner.

I have 10 years of babysitter and nanny experience working with kids. I am patient, interact well with children and am also dedicated to the well upbringing and safety of children. Personally I've raised two girls of my own and is currently an empty nester. Now that I'm no longer a full time mom, I'm taking on some part time jobs assisting other busy parents. I'm also comfortable being around pets. My family moved to WA 23 years ago and I turned a full time mom out of choice. During those years I had the joy of caring for my kids and volunteered as a teacher helper when my younger child started elementary school, helping other children in school with reading and art projects. I taught elementary Singapore Mathematics and substituted for challenged students English classes on Saturdays with Northwest Chinese School when my daughters were attending Chinese lessons there for 3-4 years. Also privately tutored some Taiwanese kids and assisted non-fluent English speakers in the library ESL classes over the years. I believe with proper nurturing and providing children with early learning opportunity can enhance positive child development. I highly value quality education. I am good at reading books to kids and enjoy singing children's songs and rhymes with them. I am great at telling time-tested and children-proved stories. I am good at teaching and making art and craft projects. Also able to handle making healthy kids meals and cleaning after kids with ease. Since the past years to date I have been working part time and occasionally for families with kids ranging from 0 months to 12 years old. I have experience with baby and toddler care. I am currently available for date nights and weekends babysitting. Any other details beyond, I'll be glad to divulge during an interview. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi, my name is Mavis, I graduated from college a couple of years ago and worked as a graphic designer and artist for a while. I recently went back to school for some professional training. I started babysitting 9 years ago, I’ve been giving care to infants, toddlers and older kids. At the same time, I work with kids in age 3-14 as an art teacher.

In my past caregiving experience, I usually make art with kids, play the piano, go on walks to parks, pickup and provide simple meals, singing, dancing, reading books, etc. I am looking forward to meet your family and offer my help!

My name is Samantha and I am a mother of two youngsters! I have worked for three years as a parent coordinator in co-op preschool with kids from 1 to 5. Additionally, I have nanny experience, new born night care experience and regular babysitter experience. Childcare is by far the best career choice I could have ever made. My approach to childcare is play based and rich in art, books, baking and any other activity kids enjoy. What makes me different from other babysitters is that I come to the job with a range of thoughtful and helpful ideas. Firstly, I help teach children effective solutions for issues that arise for anything from sharing to communicating their needs. Secondly, I go above and beyond to anticipate how I can help parents. This means that at the end of a babysitting night all the toys and dishes are all put back and clean. Lastly, I hope you'll choose me because I am a parent and that gives me an insight into what raising a child feels like. I bring ideas, empathy, and care into my work. I see childcare as a three fold job: caring for the children, the family as a whole and the house. Parents know their children better than anyone so I always take parent input seriously and appreciate any feedback along the way. Thank you so much!

Hi! I’m Rafaella — a caring, reliable, and experienced sitter with over 6 years of childcare experience. I truly love working with children and feel honored to be a part of their development and everyday moments. My journey started in Brazil, where I worked at a daycare and volunteered with 4–5-year-olds at my church. I later spent 2 years as an au pair in the U.S., caring for children ranging from 6 months to 8 years old. Those years helped me build strong skills in nurturing routines, supporting milestones, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to grow. Currently, I’m working with a family caring for their sweet baby — I started when he was just 5 months old, and now he’s a happy, active 1-year-old! I’m experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-age kids, and I always bring patience, creativity, and responsibility to every family I work with. Whether it’s reading stories, planning activities, or helping with naps and meals, I’m here to support your child’s needs with love and care. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

I am currently working in a daycare with children between 1-4 years old. I have also had the opportunity to develop myself in different aspects and areas. I have had the opportunity to work as a teacher's assistant in summer workshops at Weberbauer School. In this organization, I was responsible for supporting perceptual and motor learning in pre-kindergarten children. I was involved in the preparation of exhibitions, dances and plays for the children, as well as in the elaboration of didactic and formative material. Also, I volunteered for some months in the organization TECHO PERU, a nonprofit organization responsible for bringing aid to the neediest people, within my work I was part of the team of volunteers in the schools of remote communities where we support children in their homework, teach them to write, to read and provide children's shows as recreation with games and dances. These experiences gave me enormous gratitude and today, being a professional with vast experience and comprehensive training. I am also certified in first aid and CPR, in case of any emergency, a course which helped me learn more about the care of children and adults.
