Sittercity helps Stanwood families find the best babysitters

Hello, thanks for reading. My name is Brittany. I’m a mother of 5 girls. I have lots of experience ranging from growing up watching younger family members, raising my 5 kiddos, and also caring for other kiddos over the past 10 years. I’m currently a stay at home mom, going to school for my degree in Early Childhood Education as well. I have great references, dependable transportation with a clean driving record, flexible scheduling & willing to work with a family for cost of care. I’m comfortable with watching more than 1 child at a time, and love to do activities that’s individual to each child’s liking or interest. I’m available on short notice, as well.

Hi I’m Ayla, I’m a 24 year old, I’ve loved and cared for many siblings, families and a vast variety of pets. I have had some experience with special needs. I’m great with routines and can do mild cooking and cleaning. I have my own 1 year old daughter that I would be bringing along in addition to my services. She is amazing and I would love for her to be able to socialize more as well, I do not have my own childcare so having her with me is my only option.

I have 2+ years of babysitting, and it is something I’ve always enjoyed. I am 19 years old and graduated Beauty School in March, I currently just work from home and have my own schedule. This makes my schedule very flexible. I’d love to hear from you :)

Hello Families, I am Sara, a Social Communication student with over four years of experience in childcare. I have worked with children between the ages of 6 months and 12 years, and each stage has been a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow alongside them. I am a patient person, with lots of energy and creativity. I enjoy communicating with children, understanding their world, and actively participating in their activities. I love playing, making crafts, and sharing moments that stimulate their imagination and development. In my country, I received training in childcare, which complements my practical experience. In addition, during the last year and a half here, I have continued to strengthen my skills and adapt to the needs of local families. It will be my pleasure to support you and take care of your little ones with dedication and love!

I'm a young adult hoping to go back to college in the fall. I have previously worked at the YMCA as a Kid Zone Counselor supervising and engaging with kids ages 2-13; as well as briefly working at a Montessori as a Toddler Assistant Teacher. I'm CPR + First Aid certified and am able to care for the house as well as any pets if needed. I have a car and am more than happy to transport kiddos to a park to play.

I have worked with and around children since I was 14.
