I am 26 year old bilingual nurse aspiring to obtain her DNP. Ive been around kids all of my life since I come from a very big family. I started to babysit when I was 9 and a half and haven't stopped since! I have experienced with taking care of infants for about 8 and half years and toddlers for about 12. I have experience with teens and pre-teens for about 4 years . I am experienced in helping out with homework from English , math, science and even art projects. I consider myself a hands on babysitter and will play inside or outside with kids or pets! Aid in sleep or dietary schedules necessary. I am ok with helping out during meal times as well and bedtime routines :)

Gabriela was absolutely great. Such a nice young woman, very friendly. Our daughter immediately liked her. She was quick to respond to everything and took great care of our daughter. I will definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking.

I am currently 22, and I have been babysitting since I was 12. I have had a consistent childcare job(daycare, nannying) for the past few years. I have four years of experience as a summer camp counselor, and have moved on to a leadership team at the same camp. I can drive, and I am certified in CPR and first aid. I love getting outside with kids and doing art projects as well!

Hello Everyone! My name is Emma and I am offering occasional babysitting services! I’m your typically 25 year old trying to make some extra income.I have my Associates of the Arts degree, Associates of the Arts in Teachers Education as well as a certificate in business management. I am ONLY available for occasional/date night babysitting opportunities in Port Orchard, Gig Harbor, and Bremerton area! *I am fully vaccinated against covid* I am currently employed at University Place School District as a Para-Educator in the Transitional Kindergarten program! With that I am only available for date night care. I am the oldest of 4 kids with all of many different ages (23,14 and 13). Way back to 2011 my dad lost his job when the economy tanked he went back to school while my mom was the only working and we had 2 big surprises pop up! She had my brother and my sister durning this time which made me grow into a bigger role of big sister/babysitter/2nd mom. Therefore I have experience with all ages and even children with disabilities. For 3 years I worked at the Morgan YMCA teaching swim lessons to all ages (6months-adults), did lifeguarding and also participated in a swim program called Swimming for Exceptional Children. I am no longer certified still in lifeguarding. However, I am certified in CPR/AED, First Aid, and Oxygen. Through my previous job at the Morgan YMCA I have taking training courses such as child abuse prevention, sexual harassment, blood born pathogens, hazard communication, ALICE, listen first and much more. I am non-smoking, have references, have access to a car/have a license, as well as willing to take a background check or do an interview prior to occasional babysitting gig. Feel free to message me with any comments, questions or concerns! 😊

Sarahi was wonderful with our 3-year-old son! She was hired so last minute because we had a gap in our regular coverage and filled in seamlessly. Very professional and was even able to put our son down for his nap (which is sometimes difficult at this age). Thank you, Sarahi!

hi there :) My name is Gianna. I carry 12 years of experience working with kids of all ages (toddlers through high school). I'm going to include my bio below, but please feel free to ask me any questions. I hope you are able to find the perfect sitter for you, and I would be honored to be the one to put your trust in the right hands. ~~~ For as long as I can remember, I have been skillful at and genuinely enjoyed connecting with kids and looking after them. I value being a safe space for others. It's my goal and specialty when working with kids to create an environment where everyone feels cared for, heard, seen, and at ease. I've worked as a teacher in school settings, babysitter, nanny, private tutor, youth dance instructor, and also a pet (and plant!) sitter. One of my favorite jobs was being an arts & sciences exploratory instructor for elementary school kids from 2019-2020. I have a history of knowing how to enter a room and be a source of positive energy for those who need care. My priority is making sure that I'm providing the care you're looking for and making sure that your kids, home, and/ or pets are in the best hands. This world can be a chaotic place, so it's always my pleasure to bring help and peace of mind. I am highly empathetic and sensitive to the needs of others. I respect all people, all backgrounds and circumstances etc. - I believe in honoring all beings with love and compassion, period. I'm also equipped at working with kids who are neurodivergent (ex: ADHD, sensory processing concerns, dyslexia, etc.), as I have lived experience in this department, so it's helped me become excellent at communication and aid to others on the spectrum who relate. I'm fortunate to have never lost that sense of wonder and imagination from childhood, so I'm great at keeping kids entertained and engaged for hours on end. I'm good at making up games on the spot, and even throwing in some educational aspects of it. I believe in making learning fun, but of course safe as well. I'm good at conflict resolving if things arise, and am proud to say I'm a reliable communicator. I enjoy making those who I'm working for feel like they can count on me to be responsive and transparent at all times. Have a beautiful day and take care, -Gianna
