Find experienced child care providers in Burlington, 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)**

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.

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.

Hi, I’m Madi! I enjoy working with infants and children of all ages. I can meal prep, cook, clean, and i’m amazing at puzzles. I love watching kids grow and helping them excel in life.

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.
