Find experienced child care providers in Bow, WA

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)**

I have been surrounded by children ever since I was a child myself—helping the parents in my life “babysit” and take care of their kids. When I was old enough to actually babysit, that’s exactly what I did. My first job at 16 was working with children as a swim instructor at the local YMCA, and I eventually worked in the daycare too. I used to be a nanny to multiple infants, and grade school children and babysit on occasion. Today, I work in a restaurant and am the Chef de Partie (a position directly below the Sous Chef). I recently graduated Culinary School with an Associate’s Degree in Culinary Arts. I was the sole recipient of the Certificate of Merit and also graduated Cum Laude! I want to be a chef one day, and would love to also find the right people to cater to and become a private chef. Kids bring me so much joy and I love watching them grow and seeing them evolve as small little humans. I would love to be able to help a family in need of childcare out, whether it’s regularly or for 2 hours on a Monday night.

I love working with children, and this is reflected by my work history. I spent last summer working at two different summer camps and managed groups of 15-30 elementary-aged children (ages 5-11) at a time. I have also worked in three different classes as a student teacher, working with 2nd, 3rd, and 6th grade students. In the fall, I will be going to college to study psychology to become a child-psychologist. From my experience, I have learned that it is of the upmost importance that children have access to supportive, understanding adults, and I know that my education and experience has prepared me to be that for your children.

Working and being with kids has always been a passion of mine. I enjoy getting to see them experience and learn new things every day. I have been watching kids since I was a teen, and worked as a CMA in pediatrics. For the last three years I’ve been a full time nanny for a family of 2 boys. My husband and I are hoping to start a family of our own soon. I am looking for a new family that I can nurture and care for.

I am CPR and FIRST AID certified. I am a very patient person being previously enlisted in the military. I adore kids of all ages. I also LOVE to clean and cook (odd thing to say but it’s true!) Whatever you may need i’m your girl!

Creative, EXPERIENCED, bubbly, thoughtful, punctual, and goes above and beyond? That's me! Newly moved to Bellingham from Phoenix and would love to find babysitting or a family to nanny for. I am high energy and creative with a Bachelor's in Theater Arts with an ACE minor which is Adolescents, the Community, and the Environment. I also have been a Montessori lead and assistant teacher because I had several hats at that school from stepping in as the art teacher, holding my after school drama club, assisting in all Jr. Elem, Middle School, and P.E. and was the main lifeguard on campus since we had 2 pools. Absolutely love to do crafts and play games, indoors and outdoors! I've went to the Disney College Program so I'm a very bubbly person who will give so much care to your littles and I love to create magical and teaching moments!!! I have worked for a couple families and some of my duties included meal prep, housecleaning, bathing, school pickups and drop-offs, and also assisting the parents with errands.

I love being a sitter because it allows me to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives by providing care, companionship, and support. I have several years of experience working with both children and adults, including the elderly and individuals with disabilities. I’ve assisted with everything from daily routines and mobility to emotional support and creating safe, engaging environments. My strengths include patience, clear communication, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. I'm also trained in basic first aid and always prioritize safety, respect, and comfort in every situation.

Hi, I am Kathleen! I am in grad school at Denver University. In the past, I coached college athletes in cross country and track and field. But I previously worked at a YMCA climbing wall where I taught kids between the ages of 3-14 how to climb on ropes. I also have tutored kids and love working with children. I have also babysit on and off for a year with toddlers.
