Hello! I have been babysitting and nannying children of various ages for 11 years, and as an oldest child, I have been helping my parents care for my sisters for years. I have have earned a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, and I am very passionate about caring for people to help improve their physical, mental, and emotional health. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I have Basic Life Support certification (this includes training in CPR, AED, and the Heimlich maneuver). I work M-Th as a physical therapist, and I am looking to babysit/nanny on the weekends to add some fun to my week! In my free time, I love to cook and go for walks with my fiancé. I would love to have the opportunity to get to know you and your family.

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)**

We hired Rebecca off of Sittercity. Our family was moving to Seattle from Los Angeles and didn’t know anybody in town. Rebecca was so helpful in taking care of our daughters, ages 3 and 7 during their summer break. Our daughters both loved Rebecca so much and cried when she left! We are still in contact with Rebecca and have her over to watch the girls when our schedules align. Any family would be lucky to have her!

I am 28 years old, I am fluent in English and Spanish. After spending the past year helping care for my nephew during his first year of life, as well as providing ongoing childcare for a pair of 6 year old twins, I recently had to say goodbye to the previous family I was nannying for. I moved here to Jacksonville, Florida with my significant other as he had a job opportunity here. I am from Washington state and I am seeking an opportunity with a family that values strong connection, trust, and professionalism in the care and development of their children. I have 2 small dogs, I’m great with almost any pets :)

From the very first visit, my kids were instantly at ease, which honestly never happens that quickly. She has a natural gift for connecting with children. She’s engaged, playful, and responsible. I often hear the kids absolutely screaming with laughter when she’s here. We feel so lucky to have found Steph and recommend her without any hesitation. She’s amazing!

After being awarded for my volunteer work with Ready! For Kindergarten, I furthered my childcare knowledge with classes and certifications. I've worked with children ranging in age from 6 months to 13 years. I like to stay active with the kids, and love doing age-appropriate crafts (especially ones with science or math behind it). Adaptable and always willing to learn as I'd love to become a part of your family's routine. Also available for house and pet sitting. Additionally I am a licensed home care aide. State run background check available upon request.

Cailin is very responsible and a lovely human being. She was caring and firm with my son. A joy to have in our house. We stayed in touch even after she was done babysitting.

Hi there! My name is Margie and I've just moved to Bellingham. I have over eight years of childcare experience and excited to have more! For six years I was the lead counselor on a community farm in Portland, OR, for ages 5 to 12. We would play games in the garden, put on puppet shows, learn about wildlife, all while staying safe and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. I also enjoyed being a teacher for cooking classes where we'd cook yummy, kid-friendly meals with ingredients the kids harvested. I recently worked with the Corvallis Environmental Center and local elementary schools with farm and ecology based curriculum. If you couldn't tell, I am very passionate about our planet and love teaching little ones the importance of care and kindness for it. On top of that, I'm known to be bubbly, patient, observant, and understand the craziness kids can bring to our lives. I am Red Cross First Aid/CPR certified, have a car, and am great at cooking and keeping spaces tidy. I love taking children on nature walks, craft making, and telling stories. I have the most experience with kids ages 5 to 13, but have plenty of babysitting experience with ages 6 months- 4 year olds. Excited to help out your family! -Margie

We had Margie babysit for us during a trip to Portland, she came to our hotel while we went out for the evening and took great care of our baby. We got home and the baby was soundly sleeping and Margie had followed everything we asked her to do to a T. Communication was clear and easy, she was on time, and was very easygoing yet experienced. Margie was great to work with and we would definitely hire her again!

Hello, my name is Kelly. I am a homeschooling, single parent of three girls. I am looking for a babysitting/nanny position with a great family, so I can support my kids. Also willing to do light housekeeping and assist with pet care. Here is a little about me and my childcare experience. In addition to raising my own kids for the last 15 years, I also have been a private nanny and baby sitter for a few families. In all I have over 23 years of hands on experience in all aspects of caring for children, from newborn to teenager, and children with special needs such as colic, anxiety, panic and social disorders, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities and ADHD. I enjoy playing with children, both indoors and out, reading to children, coloring and crafts, playing board games, doing nature hunts (like a treasure hunt with "nature") and taking walks together. I think every child is a gift and a treasure and I absolutely cannot imagine a more rewarding thing to do than to care for children. My hobbies are spending time with my children and cats, vegetarian/ healthy eating, going for walks, baking (regular and gluten free), and I really love animals. I received my diploma for child daycare in April 2002. I also have my certification for CPR (adult, child and infant) and First Aid. Background check, driving record and references available on request. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!
