Find experienced child care providers in Anacortes, WA

Hi! I'm 25 years old and have over 7 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from as young as 3 months up to 12 years old. I’ve worked with children in both one-on-one settings and group environments, including two years in a daycare center. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, and I always aim to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment where kids can thrive. I’ve completed a background check through a government agency and have worked with the Navy’s fee assistance program. I’m dependable, energetic, and passionate about helping kids learn, play, and grow. Please note, I do have my own little one who would accompany me while I care for your child(ren). I always make sure this works smoothly for everyone and that all children feel included and well cared for.

Hi, Long story short- in 2011, I graduate from UW with a business/IT degree and in 2013, I received my MBA at WWU. But, I decided not to go the corporate route just yet. At the time, being 23 with an MBA- I really didn't have much free-time to myself as I was only focused on my education and potential business career. So, I decided to look into what my passions were (and they still are)- children, family and travel. Therefore, for the past 5 years- I have been mainly babysitting and nannying to help fund for my world travels. During those years, I've helped well over three dozen families- caring for over 60+ children of all ages. I have enjoyed and loved every moment of it. I've learned a great deal from each family and each child. I also have over 8 years of childcare experience prior to those 4 ½ years- primarily in daycare settings. I've found many families that I will always keep in touch with- some of which I still help out whenever needed. It's been a blessing to see all the children grow up. So, when I first started traveling- I would go for 4 to 6 months at a time. I've been all over Southeast Asia, Central & South America, Europe and Lebanon. But as I'm getting older and have my heart invested in families- I've slowed down on my travels because to be honest, kids are more important. :) I now mainly do short-trips (mostly when families are on vacation/ there's a large gap in my schedule). And I'm starting to have an interest in small trips around the US. Unfortunately, the family that I’ve been with for over 6 years no longer need my help as the boys are old enough to take care of themselves. Therefore, I am looking for a full-time position with a great family. :) I could also do part-time if needed. Thanks for the consideration! Please feel free to message me for any questions you may have or answers I could provide. **COVID VACCINATED & BOOSTED (since 11/02/2021)**

Hello. I Am a retired senior who has been taking care of babies & children as a nanny for the last 5 years since moving here from the east coast. I have no certificates or degrees in childcare but just a lifetime of experience coming from a large family & helping raise my 2 grandsons & being around kids my whole life. It has been very rewarding & fulfilling & I am grateful to be able to do it professionally now! Currently I am taking care of a toddler but find it necessary to look for a temporary position as her mom is on maternity leave for the summer. I am very interested in your listing & hope you will consider me for an interview. Jamie

I would love to ensure a child is proplerly taken care of by becoming a babysitter myself. As a Navy veteran I have experience in CPR and First Aid training. I am confident any little one will be kept safe and content under my care. I hope to be of service for a good family. If there are any further questions about anything, I would be happy to answer them.

I love caring for kids, making them laugh and being involved in their conversations! I have a 3 year old daughter I take along with me. She gets along great with others! I have over 10 years of experience babysitting and did child development classes throughout my school years.

I am located in the Bella Bottega area of Redmond and am looking for a full-time (40 hrs/week) long-term nanny/babysitter position with one family preferably in that same area or in Woodinville, Bellevue, Sammamish, Kirkland, Kenmore, or Kingsgate. I am willing to commute as far as Seattle/Bothel as well. My rates are $28/hr for one child, $30/hr for two children, or $34+/hr for 3+ children. I have just under two years of experience as a before/after school care teacher (ages 5-11yrs) and support teacher (ages 18mos-5yrs) at a private school in Kirkland (I am currently employed here but am looking to go back to nannying), and 5 years of nannying experience with ages ranging from newborn infants to 4-year-olds, including neurodivergent children (I myself am also neurodivergent). I am food safety and CPR certified, have 50 hours of completed hours in STARS training, have a credit in children's literature, am proficient in emotion coaching and am currently in the process of obtaining my diver's license, but am also incredibly familiar with the public transit system. I have no allergies and have love for animals of all kinds. I am 23 years old with a strong passion for child advocacy. Children are often overlooked as people and my main philosophy in childcare is to let the child lead rather than to lead the child in my own desired path. I believe in empowering children to believe in themselves and their dreams. I am also a huge advocate for LGBTQ+/Women's/BLM/general Human rights. My goal is to one day open a hair salon for children with sensory sensitivities or other related issues. I love cutting and coloring hair and doing makeup and building looks, and I have a deep love for playing/writing music (I play guitar and sing) and making art. I would love to apply my skills from these hobbies to my work with children. Children flourish when they can be their authentic selves and my intention in the way I present myself and the way I provide care is to encourage them to be their most authentic selves.

Greetings. I am a spanish born british young man who is willing to offer up his services to any parents who are in need of someone to entrust their kids to. I myself spent most time as a child alone because my mother was single and didn’t have anyone to watch over me while she worked to meet my needs. So I understand how much relief it would be to know your children are safe in good care which I am willing to fulfill . I might not have experience with strangers children but with family friends and family kids indeed. I am a well educated young man raised in England with exceptional skills in many areas may it be housekeeping, tutoring etc, very patient and formal. I would really appreciate whoever is willing to give me this opportunity.

I’m a caring and dependable sitter with a genuine love for working with children. There’s something incredibly special about watching kids discover new things, grow into their personalities, and light up with excitement. Being part of those moments is what makes this work so meaningful to me. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me the flexibility and enthusiasm to support families who need an extra set of hands. I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. This experience has been acquired through raising my own kids. I can help with meals, bedtime routines, homework support, creative play, and keeping little ones engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, calm under pressure, and naturally connect with kids of all temperaments. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, skilled in maintaining safe and structured routines, and comfortable with diaper changes, bottle preparation, and helping with sleep habits. I always prioritize open communication with parents and aim to create a warm, respectful environment where kids feel supported and understood. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will care for your children with kindness and genuine attentiveness, I’d love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs!
