Sittercity helps Maple Valley families find the best babysitters

My named Lenexia! I started working with kids when I was around 14 years old. My first and longest experience has been with my now 7year old client. I’ve taken care of her since she was 1year old. She’s definitely given me the experience needed to supervise , maintain balanced meals and provide a set schedule for her. Ive also taken care of other children of varying ages and love working with all kids!

I am a responsible, punctual, and caring professional with a deep passion for childcare and teaching. Currently, I work as a lead teacher in a preschool classroom with 1-year-old children, where I enjoy creating an environment full of learning, play, and love. I have experience caring for autistic children, tailoring activities and strategies to meet their unique needs. I provide support with tasks such as preparing healthy snacks, assisting with potty training, helping during nap time, and designing activities that stimulate motor skill development. I am inspired by Montessori principles, fostering independence and learning through discovery. I firmly believe that every child is unique, and I enjoy the opportunity to learn from them while supporting their growth in a safe and nurturing environment.

Hi! My name is Puneet. I am currently a college student pursuing a nursing career. I have 4+ years of childcare, the last 2 years focusing on after school care of mainly elementary/middle school kids. I have experience in basic care skills such as meal time, cleaning, homework and enrichment. I have also had extensive experience with enrichment activities focusing on social skills and education. My favorite activists to do with my kids is baking, as I own my own business in baking!

Hi! I'm Cyndie. I'm a mother of 3 boys; they are older now so I have flexibility in work and in play! I have twins that were 9 1/2 weeks premature and a 3 year old at the time soI I definitely know how to juggle children and family responsibilities I enjoy watching kids' sports. My boys played soccer since they were 3 years old, t-ball, baseball, basketball, track & field and football. I was a really active parent. I was Vice President of the PTA, VP of Membership, Chairperson of Family Fun nights and an Art Docent for their classrooms for two years. I also participated in booster clubs to raise money for the sports. I enjoy walking, bike riding, easy/moderate hiking (nothing too crazy!). I belong to the YMCA where I take Zumba, cycling, a weight class, yoga, pilates and cardio/weights. I just recently bought a guitar and I plan on taking lessons. I am very close to my 3 sons so I enjoy doing various things with them. In addition, I have a 13 year old dog, who thinks he's a puppy! In the past, I worked 7 years at the Kent School District, both in the office and as an Instructional Assistant. I worked some with autistic children and children with learning disabilities. To work at the school district, I had an extensive background check and also I had to be fingerprinted. To my background is squeaky clean! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! Enjoy your day!

Hey Families, My name is Raniah and I'm 21 years old. I'm a third-year college student at a private University in California and right now I'm home for the summer. I just graduated college a little early with a major and English and minor in Teaching Professions so that I can become an English teacher. I go back to school in California in the fall for my actual teaching credential so I’m super excited about that. I want to become a teacher because working with kids is something I'm super passionate about and is a job that I know will have an impact. I want my future students to enjoy attending school and being in my classroom because school should be fun and provide good memories. I absolutely love being around kids and working with them at all ages it honestly doesn't matter, all of them are great. I've babysat since I was 16 working with a wide range of ages and I’ve worked at a summer camp for the past 3 years with ages 5-12. Also, with my teaching degree, I do fieldwork so I go to schools and help out in a classroom, so that helps add to my experience working with kids. I'm super good with kids; everyone around me has always told me that. I love working with kids because they are one super fun, two you can learn a lot yourself through working with children, and third knowing that I can make a child's experience in life better and put a smile on their face is honestly the best thing. I do have my license so getting places isn't a problem. I know lots of fun games and ways to keep kids occupied, plus I'm a kid at heart so I enjoy them as well :). I'm super accommodating/flexible and willing to work with you for whatever you may need as long as there is good communication. I do have my license as well so getting places isn't a problem. I hope I can make you parents feel a lot less stressed out lol. - Raniah

My name is Melanie, mom to a college student. I genuinely love and enjoy being around kids, whether it be teaching them about nature, animals, colors, or how to walk and talk, about manners, kindness, sharing, health, how to clean up and every day life. To see what piques their curiosity as they develop is neat and interesting to watch. For the last 5 yrs l've cared for several infants, toddlers, and children part time both short term and long term and established great relationships with the families. I've been told I'm honest, patient, communicative, flexible, empathetic, caring, reliable, creative, and fun. Safety is #1.. I'm attentive, alert, cautious, and responsible. 90% of kids had zero screen time while in my care. I offer school pick-ups, driving kids to appts, activities, classes, and sports practice, helping with homework and reading. For fun Im big on going outside on walks and adventures to parks, playing games, making arts/crafts, laughing, being silly, and having fun. I own a 2017 Honda Accord Sedan, no dents, accidents, or tickets. I have a valid driver's license, auto insurance. I'm available for part time or one time jobs. Monday - Friday 8:30am to 7pm up to 35 hrs/week. And occasional weekends and overnights. Please send me a message for a potential opportunity and we can chat to see if we're a good fit. Thank you very much, Melanie

I am a mother of 4, my youngest graduates from Univ of Wa. In june. I am a retired nurse and I have been working as a nanny for 8 years. I have been caring for twins as well as special needs children. I have a lot of first aid and cpr experience, both professionally and personally!

I believe children should be nutured with love & respect. An educational interaction should be carried out daily like learning numbers & colors. Children are a precious gift. I worked for 11yrs as a para educator for the Renton School District,grades k-12 and loved it very much. I've cared for triplet boys from 6wks until they were 3yrs old and at that time they started preschool. I love to Read and interact our stories with pictures and music. I will always have a journal of your baby’s activities for the day including diaper changes and bottles. I will bathe baby daily if you so choose.
