Arianne W., Babysitter in Tumwater, WA 98512 with 12 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Arianne. I’ve been a nanny for 12 years. I have Nannie’s all ages from infancy-pre teen. I tend to stay in long term positions if it’s the right fit. The last two families I have worked for have been long term. I was with my last family for 5 years and I still continue to do babysitting gigs for them when needed. They have 6 kids but I primarily cared for the 3 youngest (8,5, and 1). I have been with my current family for 2 years. They have 3 kids (8, 6, and 3) The youngest, I believe, will start preschool in the fall, so I’m putting feelers out for a new position. I do like to let potential families know a couple things before we proceed just not to waste anyone’s time and just in case values are extremely different. 1. I have a lot of tattoos and some piercings. But I do not do drugs or smoke and I rarely even drink. I am open to drug testing and full background checks. 2. I am a lesbian. I know that may not be acceptable to all people so I like to let people know beforehand. 3. This is my sole source of income. If you hire me on, I will need 40 guaranteed hours and sick pay. If for any reason needs change, I will need notice a month in advance. Thanks for taking the time to read this. And if I don’t hear from you, good luck finding an amazing caregiver.

Our family loves Arianne! She has been our nanny for the past year and we couldn't have found a better fit. She is loving, kind, fun, and our 2 year old loves her like family. She is highly communicative, always on time, and easy to be around.

Kaydon W., Babysitter in Tumwater, WA 98512 with 4 years of paid experience

I’m currently looking for part or full time positions. Most recently worked with a two year old and his one year old twin brothers. I’ve worked 1:1 with autistic kiddos working on speech, working through behavioral “problems” and have done sitdown table work as well with some kids in my class my first year in the school district preschool (I left that job after Covid hit and they wanted us to go back in person as well as conflict with the teacher I was a para for.) Working with kids is my biggest passion and creating connections and special bonds with them is my biggest joy. I’m very crafty and artistic and love to incorporate that in any way I can when I’m babysitting. Very basic knowledge of ASL (fingerspelling, common signs (milk, drink, eat/food, please, thank you, want, need, help, etc.)). **Fully covid Vaccinated! And boosted!**

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!

Maria did a wonderful job with our daughter. She did everything we asked and sent us photos of our daughter having a great time. We came home to a tidied up house and a soundly sleeping kiddo. We are very satisfied with her care.

Gianna R., Babysitter in Tumwater, WA 98512 with 12 years of paid experience

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

Sandy J., Babysitter in Tumwater, WA 98512 with 13 years of paid experience

I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and confident to explore and grow. My experience includes working as a Site Coordinator for an after-school program, a Head Start teacher, a Program Director with the YMCA, and a kindergarten teacher. Across these roles, I’ve cared for children from infancy through elementary age, supporting their academic, social, and emotional development. I bring strong communication, patience, and leadership skills to every family I work with. I’m trained in child safety, CPR/First Aid, and mandated reporting, and I’m experienced in managing routines, behavior guidance, and creative play. I also value cultural awareness and inclusive care. Families can rely on me to be responsible, attentive, and proactive in meeting their child’s needs while creating a positive, fun atmosphere.
