Find experienced babysitters in Maple Falls, WA

I was a Nanny/Cook for 4 children for 4 yrs. We had a wonderful time staying active with arts, games, physical activities and outings to parks and museums. I believe children want to be capable, self motivated and co-operative. Each child is unique in their verbal, physical, creative and behavioral skills. I take time to watch, learn and listen to each child to give them the respect they deserve for who they are, what they are interested in and how they prefer to interact. I let the child lead during free play, allowing them the time and space to experiment, learn and grow from their experiences. During play, I talk with the child using a variety of words to help with vocabulary. I also give enthusiastic positive reinforcement to behaviors that are wanted to keep the child safe, happy and helpful. I enjoy being playful and interactive with children to demonstrate that I value their “world” as important and interesting. I will model appropriate behavior by listening to them and using kind language. This approach helps to develop children’s trust and co-operation. I believe in enforcing firm, consistent and fair boundaries with natural consequences and explanations the child can understand. I realize a child will push against specific boundaries until they understand and make it part of their daily habits and routines. For more challenging behaviors, I believe in time outs as long as the child has a basic understanding of why they were put in a time out and that they know the time out will come to an end in a reasonable amount of time (young children only need a few minutes). I enjoy talking about different foods, explaining why some foods are good for our physical health and some foods are not so good. I find that if the child can be a part of the meal preparation they are more likely to be interested in eating the meal. I respect each child’s food likes and dislikes while still introducing new foods, knowing children’s food preferences will change over time. I keep myself physically and mentally healthy so I can handle the amount of energy it takes to interact with children while also keeping the house under control. Clear communication with parents is important. My goal is to be helpful. If there is something I am doing wrong, I would rather know so I can address the problem. I am new to this Website and am waiting for my referrals to be posted. I am happy to share my referrals with you.

Hello! I currently work as a dental assistant Monday-Thursday, and am looking for a part time weekend babysitting job. I have babysat all throughout my life, all ages, and enjoy working with children. I’m more than willing to help around the house with laundry, dishes, meals, ect. References available upon request. I am trained in CPR/First Aid. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Experience with many kids, always have been super connected with kids even if it’s just in a social setting I gravitate towards hanging out with them, I grew up the oldest in my sport and was always in charge of the kids and loved supporting and spending time hanging out with them. Learned first aid and cpr in class. Very clean and organized and helpful with pets as well. Love to help out and clean when it’s included.

Hello! I am a PNW native recently returned to the area after finishing my degree in sociology and cultural anthropology. I currently work as a job coach for adults with disabilities but am hoping to fill in my free hours with childcare. I started with babysitting at a young age and spent most of my college years working as a nanny. I am currently looking for something more flexible/ on an as needed basis rather than a set schedule. I’d be a great fit for the parent wanting the occasional date night or simply a night to themselves! I am cpr and first aid trained and am comfortable with all ages as well as have experience with children who have special needs or disabilities. I have reliable transportation and consider myself to be an energetic sitter who likes to come up with creative activities and places to explore. I am also comfortable with meal prep and some light tidying up. Please free to reach out via call, text, or email if I sound like a good fit for your family!
