Sittercity helps Shelton families find the best babysitters

Hi! I have years of experience preparing children for Kindergarten. Being CPR/First Aid certified as well as having my AA in early childhood education, qualifies me for this field of work but, my passion in making sure the kiddos in my care enter Kindergarten with confidence, makes me good at what I do.

Most of my background has been working with kids between the ages of 6 to 15. I worked at WAYA Outdoor Camp every summer through 2024, starting in high school and sticking with it for eight years. Around Covid, I became a swim instructor at a local pool, then worked as a lifeguard at my college pool, and later nannied three little girls down the street from me for about a year. I’m currently a swim instructor at an athletic club where I’m highly trusted and respected. This would just be a side thing to that job. I’m CPR, first aid, and lifeguard certified. I’m also the oldest of five siblings, so I’m pretty well equipped to handle sibling fights, big emotions, and wild imaginations. I know how to be patient and calm when needed, but also playful and creative when the moment calls for it. I love doing art projects with kids like drawing, painting, and collaging. I’ve taken a few child development classes just out of personal interest, and I really believe the first five years of life are crucial. I want to help foster growth in healthy and supportive ways through play, creativity, structure, and being a consistent presence in their lives. I’m also well-educated. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Tribal Governance from The Evergreen State College and came back for my Master’s in Public Administration. I just finished my first year and have one year left. I’m smart, funny, reliable, and genuinely enjoy working with kids. I don’t smoke or vape and I love pets!

Hello! My name is Ruby! I have lots of experience babysitting and working with groups of children at summer camps and public schools. I love spending time with kids from infants to teens. I graduated from college last spring with a bachelors degree in outdoor education. I worked as a garden teacher for an elementary school for two years, I worked as a classroom aid in a middle and high school for two years, and I have worked at various summer camps over the last 6 years. I love children and would be happy to support you and your family!

Hi there! My name is Allison, I'm 28 years old and a mother myself. I have two girls who are 8 and 5 and I have years of experience caring for children before that and after as well. I have experience cooking healthy meals, making bottles, and following diet restrictions (lots of personal experience with that). I also have no problem doing housework, or taking dogs on walks or giving pets food/water and the like. I do have a vehicle and I'm in college at the moment so I'd have a reliable schedule to depend on.

I enjoy a childs spirit and energy. As a child, my mother had a Licensed Daycare in our home for 20 years. She taught by example, safety and happiness of a child are number one. Being organized and having educational fun things to do throughout the day are important. I have been a nanny for over 10 years, as well as a youth soccer coach for over 5 years. I am reliable, on time, trustworthy & will ensure your child is safe & happy. Your child(ren) can be watched at your home or my home, up to you.

Hey family! I have been a nanny for 8 years (on and off) and have recently taken steps to expand my knowledge into infant care. I have taken some educational courses pertaining to the early years and would love to be of assistance to you and your family. I have reliable transportation as well as CPR/First Aid with children and babies🩷 The ideal position for me would be around 1-9 months as I would like to focus on early development.
