Myka T., Babysitter in Olalla, WA 98359 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello, I'm Myka! I'm a university student based in Tacoma, working towards my bachelor's degree in Developmental Psychology, which I plan to complete within the next year. Recently, I earned my Behavioral Therapy credentials and have had the chance to assist many families in the ABA community. As I return to school and step away from my role as a therapist, I'm hoping to find another family to work with during the academic year while I study full-time. With over seven years of experience caring for children of all ages, I have a strong background in childcare. I enjoy designing fun and engaging activities that promote learning and creativity, and I am always eager to help. I'd describe myself as outgoing, compassionate, and lively. In my free time, I love exploring the water with my golden doodle or trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon! :)

Montana L., Babysitter in Olalla, WA 98359 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Montana. I am mostly looking for one-time childcare positions. I am available immediately with open availability! I have 5+ years of experience that comes from working as a nanny, working at youth summer camps, and babysitting. I have reliable transportation and am located in the Seattle area. I am also comfortable with pets in the home. ☺️ I can not do one-time/occasional sits for sick children - only long term families that I nanny for. If a child is sick upon my arrival for a babysitting visit, I will not be able to stay for the evening. I also prefer to meet families virtually or in person before committing to a job! Thank you for understanding.

Dylan C., Babysitter in Olalla, WA 98359 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi- My name is Dylan! I enjoy partnering with parents to ensure children receive the nurturing, consistency, care, and fun they need. I am a kid at heart and love to get down on the floor (or up in a play structure) to play with kids, encouraging their imagination, doing age appropriate science and art projects, adventuring outdoors, and facilitating their brain development through play, reading, and singing. It is important to me to model empathy, respect, and acceptance with the goal of empowering children to solve problems. Additionally, I am very skilled at multi-tasking and time management to ensure the safety and well being of all children in my care. Biggest strength: I give kids the attention they deserve! I am regularly referred to by parents as the 'kid whisperer' or 'Pied Piper.' While some believe I have magical powers (especially toddlers!), in truth, I am simply present and attuned to their needs and wants, through the laughter and tears. Experience: I have over 15 years experience as a babysitter and nanny for children birth to 17 years of age, providing care for up to 5 children at a time both in the family's home and traveling. The majority of my experience is with infants and toddlers. I have volunteered as a child care provider for Pinay sa Seattle, co-facilitating a childcare group during meetings and events for up to 8 children ages 8 months-7 years. Additionally, I have experience as a birth and postpartum doula. I have worked with single parent and blended families, have experience with twins, triplets, ADD/ADHD, autism, food allergies, trauma, and preemie infant health issues. Education: BA in Liberal Arts: Leadership & Human Services, Antioch University - Seattle, 2014 Somatics Practitioner Training, Generative Somatics, 2018 Embodied Social Justice Certificate, The Embody Lab, 2022 Newborn Care Specialist, DNT Network, 2025 Infant Sleep Consultant, DNT Network, 2025 Infant/Child CPR/First Aid, renewed 12/25 COVID/Flu boosters, Fall 2025 TDap, current Work History: 8+ years in social work directly supporting homeless youth and adults living with mental illness, substance use disorder, and disabilities

Would definitely hire Dylan again! He arrived right on time, and from the moment he walked through the door was a delight. He cared for our son with a very positive attitude. We really appreciate the enthusiasm he brought - which was essential, as our son is a bundle of energy! We loved the photo updates throughout the day, and we were impressed by the creativity Dylan brought to providing entertainment to our 7 month old.

Lesley is awesome! While our 8month old can be very cranky due to teething and being tired post nap, Lesley has been great engaging with her and reads and plays and sings to our baby! Will definitely keep using her

I look forward to meeting you.

Karen watched my 1-year-old a few times. My daughter absolutely loved her. She took great care of her and would send me updates throughout the day while I was at work. Karen is very sweet and caring. She communicates very well and is always on time. Unfortunately, my schedule changed, and we no longer have her, but I would absolutely recommend her Karen was wonderful!

I love kids and am experienced with all ages. I currently teach in elementary. I have worked in an early learning daycare with infants to pre-k. I’m looking for some occasional babysitting jobs that would most likely be best for evenings, date nights, or on weekends. I am CPR certified.

Suzie C., Babysitter in Olalla, WA 98359 with 24 years of paid experience

I have been babysitting ever since I was 12 years old. I wanted to give back for all the years that I had been taken care of. I took a specific course to become a babysitter and started to babysit my neighbors. I had heard about a course specifically for babysitting, so I took it. After that I was good to go to babysit the whole neighborhood. It worked out perfectly while I attended UC Davis. I graduated with two degrees in Dramatic Art and Design, and two minors in Chicano Studies and Education. I love to teach it and create new things. I am also a Spanish native speaker. I was born in a town near Mexico City. I am very interested in teaching kids what I have learned and also try to have fun with them. Every time I babysit I like to teach the kids something new. Currently, I am a pre-K teacher. I am loving, fun, and entertaining to be around. Teaching kiddos is my passion. It’s the beginning of a new beginning in education. Please ask what my availability is for the summer! Gracias

Suzie has been absolutely amazing! In only a couple weeks, she has taught my 16 month old a ton of new sign language and words that he is using regularly! She’s is genuinely excited and eager to play and teach him, and it’s like having our own personal Ms. Rachel. She keeps our LO so entertained and happy that he doesn’t even care if mom or dad leave the room. He became so comfortable with her so quickly, and is excited to see her every time. Even when he was unexpectedly sleeping in later, Suzie offered to help with some home organization until he woke up! She is so very helpful and it is so reassuring to know that my little one is in such great hands. Knowing he is so happy with her helps dissipate that ever lingering mom guilt when I’m away from him. I can’t say enough great things about Suzie.
