Find local babysitters in Lakewood, WA

I used to work for a public school district for many years. I have previous experience working in the infant/toddler room and school age children at La Petite Academy Daycare. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which I believe is a plus point, since handling children requires a sitter to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. I am able to drive children to school and accompany them at medical appointments. I am well-versed in performing housework related to childcare, including washing clothes, cleaning up after meals, and tidying up play areas. I don't mind planning and preparing nutritious meals for children according to their tastes and nutritional needs. I enjoy playing with children and helping them develop skills by creating a stimulating environment. My goal is to provide a nurturing and safe environment for children. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I don't mind pets at all!

Hello Parents and Guardians, My name is Catherine, and I am 26 years old. I have been babysitting since I was 10, taking care of children for family, friends, and neighbors. From 2014 to 2017, I worked as both a teacher and babysitter at my church, and I have experience as a teacher's secretary for kindergarten, first grade, and sixth grade. I am comfortable working with children ranging from newborns to 13 years old. My goal is to create a safe and enjoyable environment for the children in my care. I understand that children are incredibly precious to their parents, and being apart can be challenging for both parents and children, whether it’s for work, date nights, or personal time. That is why it is crucial to have a trustworthy caregiver. I want to assure you that I will love, care for, and protect your child as if they were my own. I will engage children in various activities, including reading books, having conversations, singing and dancing, doing arts and crafts, and creating games or pretend play, such as cooking or teaching. If needed, I can also prepare meals or bake for them. I am CPR certified and hold a food handler's card, and I have completed early childhood education certification. I am also comfortable working with pets around. Thank you for considering me! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
