Find experienced babysitters in La Center, WA

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!

Hi! I'm new to Sittercity, but not new to childcare! As an older sister, I started helping with childcare and sitting for neighborhood kids since I was 10. I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to teens—and have experience with kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Down Syndrome. I’m now a college graduate, working towards a Masters of Psychotherapy. My hobbies include baking bread, hiking, and fashion!

Hello, my name is Emily! I work as a registered dietitian and currently seeking part time/occasional work as a babysitter. My background includes watching kids from age 6 months to 12 years old in both paid and volunteering experiences. I strive to be a caring, gentle, kind, and responsible person. I can imagine there may be some hesitancy when it comes to looking for a sitter, but I can assure you that my goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, so I am open to questions you may have about my background and experience. If you have dogs that will be no problem! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me about my availability and any other questions to see if we'll be the right fit!

I really love kids! I grew up with a lot of cousins, I was one of the oldest so I was fortunate enough to be able to take care of them and watch them grow up. I have worked as a sitter/nanny before taking care of two kids for 2 years. I am now looking for something similar and long term. Please reach out if you are interested in working with me.

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.

Hello! I am a nanny with 15+ years experience with kids ranging from infants up to 12 years old. Most of my experience has been with babies and toddlers, but I love all ages! This is my nanny philosophy: When you come into someone’s home as their nanny, you are essentially becoming a member of their family. It is so important to bond with the family as a whole, and build that connection of trust. As your nanny, I will do whatever I can to make sure your kids feel loved, valued, respected, happy and safe. I realize that these are your children and they mean more than the world to you, so I want to care for them exactly the way you want them to be cared for. I also think that communication is very important - if there is something I’m doing that you want me to do differently, I will do my best to do it the way you prefer, no questions asked! I believe that as a nanny and parents, we are a team, and we are all working towards the same goal together; to help these kids be the best little people they can be! :)

Hello, I have been a full-time nanny in Vancouver for the past 17 months and am seeking a new position as my current employer will be taking extended leave for the birth of their new baby. During my 17 months, I have engaged the child in various educational activities, including teaching her colors, counting to 20, the alphabet, and singing. I have also provided her with a variety of educational toys to foster her development.
