Sittercity helps Sumas families find the best babysitters

I love kids and have years of experience including babysitting, daycare, after school programs, art classes, and substitute teacher shadowing. I’m a WWU grad and majored in Studio Art with a focus on painting. I am fun, caring, responsible, creative, empathetic, and would love to share my love of art and nature with a family.

Hi! My name is Naomi Bates and I am currently a college student at WWU going into my 5th year! I was on the track and field team with a scholarship as I am a very motivated individual. My dad was in the Air Force so I moved around a lot growing up. During my middle school and high school years, I did a lot of babysitting. I watched family friends children and was often referred to other families as well. I am the oldest of 3 and was the family babysitter as well. I love being around children and have hopes to becoming a teacher after college. I am physically active and have lots of energy to run around and play outside! I also have a car to drive myself to and from home and can also drive kids if needed! I also love to be in a tidy area and if you need someone to pick up while babysitting, I would love to help. I know how to cook so if that is something that needs to be done I can do it! I am excited to share my high energy with a fun family!

I was a Nanny/Cook for 4 children for 4 yrs. We had a wonderful time staying active with arts, games, physical activities and outings to parks and museums. I believe children want to be capable, self motivated and co-operative. Each child is unique in their verbal, physical, creative and behavioral skills. I take time to watch, learn and listen to each child to give them the respect they deserve for who they are, what they are interested in and how they prefer to interact. I let the child lead during free play, allowing them the time and space to experiment, learn and grow from their experiences. During play, I talk with the child using a variety of words to help with vocabulary. I also give enthusiastic positive reinforcement to behaviors that are wanted to keep the child safe, happy and helpful. I enjoy being playful and interactive with children to demonstrate that I value their “world” as important and interesting. I will model appropriate behavior by listening to them and using kind language. This approach helps to develop children’s trust and co-operation. I believe in enforcing firm, consistent and fair boundaries with natural consequences and explanations the child can understand. I realize a child will push against specific boundaries until they understand and make it part of their daily habits and routines. For more challenging behaviors, I believe in time outs as long as the child has a basic understanding of why they were put in a time out and that they know the time out will come to an end in a reasonable amount of time (young children only need a few minutes). I enjoy talking about different foods, explaining why some foods are good for our physical health and some foods are not so good. I find that if the child can be a part of the meal preparation they are more likely to be interested in eating the meal. I respect each child’s food likes and dislikes while still introducing new foods, knowing children’s food preferences will change over time. I keep myself physically and mentally healthy so I can handle the amount of energy it takes to interact with children while also keeping the house under control. Clear communication with parents is important. My goal is to be helpful. If there is something I am doing wrong, I would rather know so I can address the problem. I am new to this Website and am waiting for my referrals to be posted. I am happy to share my referrals with you.

Hello my names Dalylah I am attending college to become an early childhood educator (prek-5th grade). I have always wanted to work with kids, and love doing so. In the fall of 2024 I interned with a preschool from August to December. I have also had experience babysitting family members. I am a very patient person and fun with children. I know how to cook, clean, and I have a car if any errands need to be done.

There’s something incredibly special about seeing the world through a child’s eyes—and creating safe, playful spaces where they can thrive. Whether it’s building pillow forts or talking through big feelings, I love helping kids feel heard, supported, and joyful. I’ve worked as a swim coach and lifeguard at a children’s swim school, supporting kids of all ages with confidence-building, safety, and fun. I’ve also completed a child development course, giving me insight into emotional regulation, play psychology, and age-specific needs. And as a psychology/social work major, I bring a calm, patient presence that kids (and parents!) can count on. Every family is unique—and I love adapting to their rhythm while keeping things safe, fun, and flexible.

Experience with many kids, always have been super connected with kids even if it’s just in a social setting I gravitate towards hanging out with them, I grew up the oldest in my sport and was always in charge of the kids and loved supporting and spending time hanging out with them. Learned first aid and cpr in class. Very clean and organized and helpful with pets as well. Love to help out and clean when it’s included.

With 5 years of experience in child care, I'm all about having fun while helping kids learn and grow. I love getting creative with activities, whether crafting, playing games, or tackling school projects. When l'm not caring for kids, I love to be around my friends and family as well as draw and sing. I'm excited to combine my love for kids and creativity in a part-time nanny role, making s your little ones have a great time while learning and exploring new things!!
