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

My husband was recently hired at a new job and so I’m looking for part time babysitting gigs to bring in a little extra money. I have my own car for transportation and a little under 3 years of child care experience. I can help with homework, preparing meals and some cleaning as well. I am CPR and first aid certified if there is ever an emergency. I have two dogs of my own so I work great with pets. I can also help with running errands as needed.

I have over 35 years of professional childcare/nanny experience. I closed my licensed home daycare just over a year ago when husband and I moved to Skagit County. I would love to find the right family to work with. I am comfortable with multiple children, including infants. I adore toddlers! I love being silly, being creative and teaching essential life skills. I absolutely love animals of all kinds! I have raised two lovely young ladies. Please reach out if you would like to know more about me!

I have 2 nieces and 2 nephews I've watched thruout my life (I'm 47). I sat several days a week for a coworker her 7 year old daughter & 4 year old son since birth. I occasionally watch a friends grandkids age 3 & 6. Dont have kids of my own, but I love spending time with children. My genuine caring is obvious as children always like me!

I love working and supervising children because they are our future in our lives. I left my previous child care job of 5 years to finish college. My top priority is providing a safe, interactive, and fun environment. In regards to my experience with child care, I was able to help children solve problems on the playgrounds, such as sharing and making new friends when they felt left out. I would even play with a few of the children who were new to the school and who had a hard time socializing with others their own age. I am First Aid and CPR Certified by the American Red Cross. I have experience with housekeeping/cooking and I am willing to add that to part of my sitter job. I am willing to provide homework help with children as well and be there by helping them solve their homework tasks. I am a future teacher and I have an English Degree from Cal State Fullerton. In addition, I am able to provide some transportation, for example, I am available to become a part of the drop off and pick up routines from schools/daycares. I am passionate about helping those around me and I would love to make a positive impact in the lives of the new individuals I meet.

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!

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.
