Hi there! I am Abby (she/her). This June, I will be graduating from Washington State University Vancouver with my Master’s in Teaching. I graduated from the University of Washington in June 2024. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Communities, and Organizations with Disability Studies and American Indian Studies minors. I have been caring for children for 6 years as a babysitter and as the oldest sibling, as well as supervising children in summer camp and school settings. My babysitting experience ranges in ages from infant to twelve. I recently cared for a one year old for six months, starting when she was only six months herself - this included diaper changes, feedings, putting her down for naps, and taking her on adventures to Kids Club, swimming, and free events at the local library. I have also babysat toddlers and assisted them with potty training. I also babysit families with siblings ranging in ages of 2-4 and 6-10. I truly love working with kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. With each family I understand cleaning is not expected but light housework such as dishes, vacuuming, and tidying up the toy room is no problem for me! I have experience babysitting children with ASD and ADHD. I have found success in building relationships with these children through discussing triggers, what the child enjoys, and boundaries with parents before we start working together. I am also passionate about working with children with disabilities in the school setting. I am currently a substitute, often filling in as a paraprofessional. From September 2023 to May 2024 I held an internship as a substitute paraprofessional in the Seattle Public School system, regularly working at Concord International Elementary School. Nothing makes me happier than reading, doing crafts, playing games/puzzles and being outside! My number one focus is keeping the children happy but most importantly safe. I have my CPR certification and can run a background check upon request. I can provide references upon request. Currently I'm available ONLY on weekends, hopefully for the occasional date night. I am looking for a family that would be in need of upcoming summer care. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your children!

Abby worked for our family for almost a year from when our daughter was 3 months to 1 year. Abby was our daughter's favorite childcare provider, and main provider. Abby is an excellent childcare provider and I recommend her wholeheartedly. Abby brings an attention to detail, positivity and respect for the family. She started on day one bringing developmental knowledge to the way she cares for our daughter., and introduces activities She was very communicative at all aspects. From scheduling, sharing her location when with our daughter and checking in on ideas for community enrichment activities. When our daughter was napping, Abby would help clean or tidy which was definitely not a requirement or even request. She showed such care and respect for our daughter and her development, I am thankful and recommend hiring her. Thank you Abby!

Hi my name is Marlo I’m 25 yrs old and I am a full time medical assistant(8am to 5pm) and I will be willing to sit for nights if needed or weekends. i do have a reliable car with a clean driving record. I love cooking, cleaning, doing outside activities, nature and I love animals in which I have quite a few at home! I am very responsible and respectful in all circumstances and I love helping others as well and have a lot of patience when it comes to helping. I have baby sat before for about 5 years with the youngest being 4 months old and oldest being 16. I love cuddles and enjoy building bonds with the kids, I will try to be very flexible with my schedule as I do have other as needed families and I always like building a bond with everyone I meet and hope for long term when baby sitting or just as needed basis. Please reach out for any further questions! I also can pet sit and I do have my cpr/Aed certification.

Marlo watched our two girls (2 and 6) for us while we were on vacation in Oregon, on two separate occasions. She was absolutely wonderful with them and my girls loved her! I highly recommend Marlo for kids of all ages. ?

In 10 years as a nanny in Portland, I have worked with some wonderful families. I thrive in an environment where I have the empowerment and freedom to keep to a schedule while leaving things flexible to accommodate changes. I value safety, kindness and fun. Time outdoors or at cultural events are always time well spent and time at home should be filled with joy and snacks! I have a BS from Smith College in Psychology and a minor in Developmental Education. My experience includes foster parenting, substitute teaching K-12; student teaching, teaching crafts to kids through Catholic Charities, as well as teaching adults. You will find me to be mature, open to suggestion, punctual, transparent, with good boundaries, and open communication. I am also silly, crafty, patient, open, kind, and fun - so I’m told by adults and kids alike.

Hi! I'm Danika, I'm 24 years old and I love working with kids! i have a 2 year old baby girl at home, but i'm no stranger to childcare! There is a chance i will have to bring my daughter along, due to childcare issues but she's super well behaved & loves to play! I had a younger sibling that I grew up watching and taking care of. I've had three + years of childcare experience, as well as volunteering in a special education classroom for high school and elementary. I also worked in the nursery at my church when I was younger. I am a paraeducator for special education preschool as well! I'm super outgoing and all about fun and hard work! I have a lot of patience when it comes to kids, always putting them first.

Danika was great with the kids. We felt very comfortable with her. She was also flexible with a slight shift in our schedule. She communicated well and kept us informed throughout the night when we asked. We will be contacting Danika for our babysitting needs in the future.

Helping children grow and develop life skills has always been a passion of mine. My previous babysitting experiences solidified my desire to positively impact young lives, which is why I've dedicated the last five years to special education. I have a college degree and experience caring for children aged 0-12+, including those with complex needs, developmental needs, and disabilities. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children and enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games. I'm patient, calm, and happy to follow your lead when it comes to household rules and your preferred communication style. I also have First Aid Training and CPR Training. I have a car and I'm comfortable with pets. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a fun, safe, and enriching environment for your children.
