I'd love to think of myself as a nurturer! Often described as a loving, caring and patient person, that'd explain why I love being a childcare service provider. With over 4 years of experience there's nothing I enjoy more! Witnessing the babies I take care of grow up to take the world, become their own people is so fulfilling. And their "firsts" (e.g first day word, first day of school etc), so heartwarming. With extensive training I've received in a childcare agency I worked in I've acquired CPR and FIRST AID certifications. Most recently have worked with 4 4 children of different groups with 2 of them being neurodivergent and having severe allergies , that has added an additional skill level to my expertise. It's been an incredible journey learning new ways to take care of amazing little beings that are on a spectrum. Specific dietary restrictions are also something I have successfully incorporated in my services while still making it fun for the children. Looking forward to giving your little ones best care ever. Due to busy schedules references can be provided on request.

I have worked at the Children’s Museum in Tacoma. Children's Museum of Tacoma PlayGuides are the most public faces of the Museum and responsible for providing positive, safe, and playful experiences for our little visitors and caregivers. Playing with the Childrens’ and their adult is the major function of this position, along with maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the Museum. I left in 2020 when I started as a full time college Student receiving my Bachelors degree in Healthcare Leadership where I pursued a career into a management position. I do babysitting as a part time job to help me continue my education. I look forward to serving you and you family! :)

Kaylee H., Babysitter in Yelm, WA 98597 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Kaylee. I’m new to the area and seeking my next nanny opportunity with a wonderful family. Originally from Washington state. I’m a kind, compassionate, and caring person born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. Caregiving has always been a part of my day-to-day sense I was a young girl babysitting my neighbor kids or my little cousins. My background caring for infants, toddlers, and youth started when I I was 10 years old babysitting my little cousins my neighbors kids took my first nanny job at 15. I upgraded to working with families during the day and in the evenings I worked as a jr assistants for the boys and girls club. I’ve been working in childcare for the last 15 years, and am CPR & First Aid certified.

Cindy M., Babysitter in Yelm, WA 98597 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello and Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. With over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience, I am a passionate and reliable nanny seeking a long-term position with a loving family. My journey in childcare began when I started watching my grandson on weekends while my daughter-in-law worked, and I quickly discovered this was my true calling. What started as helping family has blossomed into a fulfilling career that brings me immense joy every single day. ## Professional Qualifications & Experience I am certified through the Child Care Aware program with the military, demonstrating my commitment to professional standards and quality care. My extensive experience spans working with children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months old. I understand the unique needs of each developmental stage and adapt my caregiving approach accordingly, whether it's providing gentle care for newborns or engaging older children in educational activities. Safety and trust are paramount in my work. I have completed comprehensive state and federal background checks, as well as a current driving abstract, all of which I'm happy to share with prospective families. These clearances reflect my commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. ## What Sets Me Apart I believe in making life easier for the families I work with, not just caring for their children. My services extend beyond basic childcare to include light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and maintaining organized, clean spaces. I understand that parents have enough on their plates, so I take pride in handling these additional responsibilities to help create a smoother household routine. My approach to childcare is nurturing yet structured. I focus on creating engaging, educational experiences while maintaining consistent routines that help children feel secure and thrive. Whether it's reading stories, creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with homework, I tailor activities to each child's interests and developmental needs. ## References & Family-Friendly Approach I have excellent references from previous families who can speak to my reliability, trustworthiness, and genuine care for their children. Many of my relationships with families have lasted years, which speaks to my commitment to building lasting, meaningful connections. I'm completely comfortable with pets and understand they're often

I worked at The Little Gym of Mountain View for 11 months, teaching non-competitive gymnastics with children ages 3-12. At the little gym there was some days where I would have to play sports with the kids or play with toys.I also nannied 2 kids from Los Altos. When I would nanny the kids from Los Altos I would pick them up from school, give them snacks,help them with their homework, and if we had extra time I would take them to the park.
