Find experienced babysitters in Washougal, WA

Hello! I am excited to be back here and am eager to meet you and your family. My background entails a variety of hands-on experience working with and caring for children of all ages and stages. I devoted 8 joyous years as a Special Education Paraeducator, working with children from 4 to 18 years old. Soon after starting my own family, I proceeded with turning my home into a small State Licensed Daycare and Preschool, educating and caring for children from 12 weeks to 13 years old. After 9 adventure filled years, my husband and I decided to depart from the constant sunshine and move here to the beautiful PNW, requiring me to close my Daycare and Preschool. It has been my privilege for 7 years as a Nanny, to have partnered with parents on providing the nurturing and structure needed for the development of their children. I appreciate the significance of my role as a Nanny and look forward to assisting you in the delicate process of fostering happy, healthy, well-rounded little ones.

Hello!! My name is Rostana, I recently graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Public Health and I will be going to nursing school at Linfield doing their Masters in nursing program upcoming term. I am hoping to become a pediatric nurse down the road. Caring for kids has always been close to my heart, and my career goals really reflect that. I’m CPR certified, I currently work in a hospital as a CNA where I’ve been for almost five years. Those experiences have taught me responsibility, patience, and how to handle emergencies with a calm head. Outside of school and work, I’ve been babysitting for about eight years. I regularly care for my younger brothers and often babysit for family and friends, so I’m comfortable with kids of all ages. A lot of my experience has also been from the Portland babysitting group in facebook(can provide references to parents from there if needed) I love creating a safe and fun environment where children feel cared for and parents feel confident leaving them in good hands. I also speak 5 languages (Burmese,Hindi,Korean,Malay, English) Please feel free to message me if you’d like to connect 🤗

Hello! My name Is Nomonde I am South African, I was an au pair for 2 years & have five years of experience working with infants and toddlers and I absolutely love caring for young children. I’m calm natured, gentle, responsive, child-led, and love being outside. I’m experienced and comfortable with attuning to infant cues, providing developmentally appropriate opportunities for play and learning, and establishing firm and loving boundaries.

17 years of safe, engaging, skill building fun facilitation; supplemented with homework help, tutoring, and academic support... While attending university, I began facilitating recreation therapy respite for families adjusted by developmental differences. I also continued with the YMCA, YWCA and local youth bureau; all while also living and serving with the local volunteer fire department. Upon graduation I accepted a couple roles as Program Director, but soon realized that front line work was my truest passion. Since my work as a Family Advocate, Wilderness Therapy Guide, Kids Ski Instructor, "Manny" (Nanny), Firefighter, Alpine Manager, Mountain Bike Coach, Lifeguard, and Summer Camp Director for multiple camps, I have gained and honed a diverse skill set. My experience provides families with a compassionate, professional, fun loving, supportive, flexible, and nurturing care giver. Whether you need a one time “babysitter” or a commitment over an extended period of time, I feel confident that I can provide the stimulating and/or structured environment, balanced and tailored for your little people to thrive. Philosophically, I believe in and promote autonomy and democracy; encouraging choice, individuality, compromise, and teamwork. Ex: I do not believe in asking one to apologize, but rather explaining to them the relational benefits of such actions, and providing them the opportunity. Currently, I spend a lot of time in the mountains, tackling personal objectives; so though my location may be elsewhere, I may be looking to work in an area close to your childcare needs.

I started sitting over 20 years ago for children and pets. My experience with children ranges from daycare settings to occasional date nights to full time nanny work. My specialty is with infants and toddlers but I enjoy helping out with the older kiddos too. *Happy to help with homework, dishes, cooking, and laundry. I use sign language and can count up to ten in three languages. Familiar with all diapers, bottles, Disney characters, Transformers and MOST Superheros. I always have stickers and usually have bubbles. Prefer to be outside exploring rather than inside but balance is good too. Originally from the Midwest and have been loving Portland for 10 years. Before moving here, I worked as a Certified Medical Assistant and helped take care of a few elderly patients on the side. As well as being the oldest of six, I have always loved taking care of children, the elderly and pets. I have a daughter who will be 2 in September. She loves to play!

Hi! I'm a 25 year old artist, student, and experienced child care provider. I have spent 10+ years working with families as their sitter/nanny, in overnight camps, in day camps, and with after school programs. Working with kids and giving the next generation a sturdy, supportive foundation is one of my passions and greatest joys. Families looking for a nanny or sitter who have LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent members will have priority with me because I have lived experience in these areas and can empathetically relate. I know it can be hard for these families to find child care providers, and all kids deserve excellent caretakers. I also identify as nonbinary and have ADHD & ASD (think Amelia Bedelia-- she was a hard worker but just needed clear communication)! I prefer meeting families and doing a working interview before agreeing to any long-term arrangement! Thank you for your time, and I hope you're having a great day.

I am currently working as a mental health therapist for adults, and am available for childcare on evenings and weekends. I have the most experience with infants through early elementary school age. What I most enjoy about spending time with children is how they bring me to engagement with the present moment, and witnessing how their curious, eager minds develop and interact with the world. I love spending time outside whenever possible, and enjoy indoor activities such as reading books, crafting, or playing with Legos. I have 15 years of paid experience working with children including working as a nanny and a Paraeducator in public schools. Because of my varied positions, I am skilled in a crisis, can help children navigate emotional challenges, and offer a sense of safety while encouraging playful expression.

I have been in this field of work as a child care provider for 20 years. I am currently working as a teacher assistant. I also have experience in babysitting, as I am currently babysitting for parents. As for my training, I did go to college to get my certificate to work in a classroom. I also have a current CPR and FIRST AID card.
