Gina is a dependable, caring person. She really took the time to communicate and understand what was expected of her at our work place. I appreciated Gina’s work ethic and her empathy.

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.

Margaret J., Babysitter in Lynden, WA 98264 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 love working with children, and this is reflected by my work history. I have spent sunmers working at two different summer camps and managed groups of 15-30 elementary-aged children (ages 5-11) at a time. I have also worked in three different classes as a student teacher, working with 2nd, 3rd, and 6th grade students. I am currently a student at Northeastern University, in Boston, MA, studying Psychology and Data Science. From my experience, I have learned that it is of the upmost importance that children have access to supportive, understanding adults, and I know that my education and experience has prepared me to be that for your children.

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!

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 💛

Why do you love being a sitter? I really enjoy working with kids because every day is different and fun. It’s rewarding to build trust with both the kids and their parents. As I want to be a teacher in my future What experience do you have? I’ve babysat for family and friends (caring for children of different ages.) I’m used to handling things like meals, bedtime routines, playtime, and helping with homework. What skills and training do you have? I’m responsible, patient, and good at communicating with both kids and parents. I can keep kids entertained with activities while also making sure they follow routines. I also understand basic safety and how to handle emergencies. I can cook simple meals and I have a driver’s license.
