Find experienced babysitters in Poulsbo, WA

* 23 years old. * 8 years experience. Hi! I’m Taylor, a dedicated nanny with 8 years of professional experience specializing in infant and toddler care. As the eldest of 5 siblings and eldest cousin to 20, I’ve been a natural caretaker and role model since I started babysitting at age 12 and nannying professionally at 15. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe—physically and emotionally—to express their full range of feelings. Through positive reinforcement, I encourage authenticity, curiosity, and exploration, always prioritizing safety in our urban setting by staying aware of our surroundings and teaching kids to do the same as a team. My favorite way to connect with children is through outdoor adventures! I love empowering them with practical life skills, self-responsibility, manners, and accountability by leading by example and tackling everyday tasks together. Watching their confidence grow is the best part of my day. I’m excited to bring my compassion, grounded approach, and fun energy to your family and grow alongside you!

Hi, my name is Mavis, I graduated from college a couple of years ago and worked as a graphic designer and artist for a while. I recently went back to school for some professional training. I started babysitting 9 years ago, I’ve been giving care to infants, toddlers and older kids. At the same time, I work with kids in age 3-14 as an art teacher. I get along with kids pretty well, and I enjoy my time with them. I am a patient and caring person. I like animals, especially dogs. In my past caregiving experience, I usually make art with kids, play the piano, go on walks to parks, pickup and provide simple meals, singing, dancing, reading books, etc. I am looking forward to meet your family and offer my help!

Hi! I am 25 years old and I have been a certified babysitter for 13 years, a camp counselor for 7 summers for ages 4-13, and a nanny/household manager for 3.5 years. I have experience working with challenging kids and kids with special needs (Down's Syndrome, ADHD, autism, anxiety, ODD). I am a registered behavior technician with 1 year of experience doing trauma-informed applied behavioral therapy. I have a psychology degree from UC Davis and took child development courses, which, along with my extensive hands-on childcare experience, has greatly informed my parenting philosophies. I practice authoritative (not authoritarian), gentle, positive, and attachment parenting. I encourage autonomy, independence, confidence, emotional expression and regulation. I love playing indoor and outdoor games, helping with homework, cooking and doing arts and crafts with kids. I also love animals and am willing to do light child-related housework. I can send my formal resumé upon request. Please feel free to message me if you think we’d be a good fit! ***Potty trained kids only***

I have many years experience caring for children of all ages professionally. I have a clean background and reliable transportation. I have worked as a caregiver for the past 15 years helping elderly and disabled clients in their homes. I'm also a mom of a 27 year old son and 18 year old daughter and grandmother of 1 year old granddaughter 🙂 I love to cook making healthy meals and snacks, keeping homes clean and tidy, do arts/crafts, play games/ do puzzles and read books/watch movies occasionally and going to play outside in the fresh air when weather is decent. I enjoy pets and helping with them as well if needed. I'm flexible about days and times and for date nights too. I could even do overnights as well with a days advance notice if you need a weekend getaway. Please reach out if you are interested in meeting with me. Thanks Teresa😊

Hello All, A little bit about me. I am a 39 year old female, full time, Special education Teacher. I have 20 years of experience working with kids and animals. I am more than happy and able to look after any furbabies you may have as well. I have a perfectly clean back ground and driving record. I have worked with many families and can provide more references on my behalf than necessary. I am still friends with all of the families I have worked for before I started teaching and I am currently in my 6th year of teaching. I have accomplished a lot in my life but the one thing that makes me happiest is what I do for a living. I am very chill, responsible and honest. I care very deeply for the kids / pets I watch and always aim to have long term connections with any family I work with. I am excellent with time management and homework help. I strongly encourage having an open communication level and understanding with parents because I feel that it is most beneficial for the children or pets concerned. I am firm when I need to be but always playful and goofy to keep the mood light. If you are wondering why I am trying to be a nanny as well as a teacher, its because I am moving to New Zealand next year which is very exspensive. I do have a spinal disability that prevents me from doing a lot of heavy excercise but I do not require a wheelchair or assistance. I am artistic, a great cook and love music. I spray paint galaxies, and draw mostly. I don't mind disney movies or fun games. I have a 12 year old Miniature Australian Shepard named Remedy who has been trained, is non-aggressive and is quite the gaurdian to children. She does not have to come along, just letting you know. With me you'll get a highly certified and reccomended "Cool Aunt," who enforces the rules, prioritizes homework and will act as a trusted adult / child advocate. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi! My name is Kestrel and I'm 31 years old, born and raised in Seattle! I love spending time with little humans and supporting families. When you choose to hire me as your nanny, you're entrusting me not only with your child's safety and wellbeing, but with their childhood; their sense of wonder, their sense of security, their future memories. I strive to build genuine trust and connection and follow their lead whenever possible. I love reading aloud, coloring, making art, listening to music, and playing outside! My educational background is in psychology and communications, and I've taken several courses on child development. I've had several wonderful experiences caring for neurodivergent kids, including nonverbal kids and kids with high support needs. Outside of nannying, I work part-time as a freelance editor and continue to study editing through the University of Washington. I'm bilingual (English and Brazilian Portuguese), an animal lover, a dog mom, and a proud auntie to two amazing kids! On my days off, you can find me treasure hunting at thrift stores and flea markets, out to brunch with my family, or enjoying nature.
