Sittercity helps Carnation families find the best child care providers

My name is Olive. I am a mom to 6-year-old girl. I came to Seattle with an Au pair (live-in nanny) program in January, 2008. I graduated Bachelor's degree in faculty of Education, majoring in kindergarten and worked as a kindergarten teacher for eight months in Thailand . I worked as an Au pair to take care of two boys since they were 2 and 4 years old. I also worked as a babysitter for 6 months and 3-year-old boys. My second year of au pair program, I worked for a family with 12 and 14 years old which one of them was a special need child. I have been working for a nice family on Mercer Island for six years, taking care of 4 kids. I got Montessori training in 2011 and I was a full-time lead teacher in Montessori school for 5 years. Safety first for children! I love to read a story, sing and dance with kids. Playing outside and field trip are always fun! Nothing better than watching the kids and support them to grow, play, and learn new things ;)

I have been babysitting for 15 years, and taught K-2 for 5 years. I am currently working towards my Masters of Education in Guidance and Counseling to be a school counselor. I have been a live-in nanny, mother's helper, and babysitter.  With my teaching certificate, I can tutor and and help with homework. When I babysit kids, I love being creating with our imaginations, art and storytelling. I also like to get kids playing inside and outside, and always work to support kids in cooperative play, problem solving and responsibility.

I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic babysitter with a passion for creating a safe and fun environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or making sure bedtime routines run smoothly, I’m here to give parents peace of mind and kids a great time. I have experience with children of all ages, from infants to teens, and I’m happy to assist with light meal prep, bedtime, and keeping play areas tidy. I believe in balancing fun with structure and making sure every child feels cared for and heard. I am a LICSW looking for occasional babysitting opportunities. I am CPR certified and bilingual in Spanish. If you’re looking for someone dependable, patient, and easygoing, I’d love to be your go-to sitter!

I am a responsible, punctual, and caring professional with a deep passion for childcare and teaching. Currently, I work as a lead teacher in a preschool classroom with 1-year-old children, where I enjoy creating an environment full of learning, play, and love. I have experience caring for autistic children, tailoring activities and strategies to meet their unique needs. I provide support with tasks such as preparing healthy snacks, assisting with potty training, helping during nap time, and designing activities that stimulate motor skill development. I am inspired by Montessori principles, fostering independence and learning through discovery. I firmly believe that every child is unique, and I enjoy the opportunity to learn from them while supporting their growth in a safe and nurturing environment.

I have been a nanny for over 20 years.  I raised my daughter who is 25 years of age and in college.  I love dogs and cats.  I love to play board games and outdoor games.  I love to read and sing with children.  I speak a little French and Spanish.  I like to keep the children phyically active outdoors and mentally active with fun learning games and art activities.  

I am a highly energetic former nanny who watched after a pair of young boys for three years. I am a trained EMT with a CPR and first aid certification. I have experience with asthma, diabetes, and low/medium support needs ASD. I have watched after twins - including a pair of premature girls, triplets, and older siblings with infants. I'm familiar with sitting multiple children and have watched up to 6 at once. I am very firm about household rules, extremely reliable, and very comfortable with animals. I have managed potty training, cloth diapers, and taught the younger of the two boys I nannied to read, recognize shapes, and colours. I am a non-smoker and have reliable transportation to and from engagements, at this time I am not offering pick up/drop off of children.

Hello!:) My name is Sofiya but I go by Sofi. I was born in Ukraine and moved to the states when I was still a little girl. I have a really big family so I’ve been helping with the kids since I was 9. I’ve been around newborns consistently throughout my life making me comfortable and confident with newborns, infants, toddlers and older kiddos. I’m very patient and love to have fun with the kiddos like hand painting, taking them to the park or even baking if that’s something the children would like to do. I’m experienced in sleep training and introducing solids to infants and am very patient when it comes to fussy newborns. I’m more than happy to assist in helping set up routines for babies and toddlers and trying different routines different days until we find the perfect one for the kiddos.:) I’ve also worked with children who are on the spectrum so I’m very confident when it comes to keeping your kids safe and happy. I am planning on going to college for psychology next year so that I can pursue a career in working with children ( Behavioral Therapist ). I am very passionate when I am working and will go with the flow of your children. I’m a good cook so I am also more than happy to cook for your children. I’m a big animal lover as well so no issues at all with pets being in the home.:) Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this and I hope to talk soon!:)

Hi! I'm Cyndie. I'm a mother of 3 boys; they are older now so I have flexibility in work and in play! I have twins that were 9 1/2 weeks premature and a 3 year old at the time soI I definitely know how to juggle children and family responsibilities I enjoy watching kids' sports. My boys played soccer since they were 3 years old, t-ball, baseball, basketball, track & field and football. I was a really active parent. I was Vice President of the PTA, VP of Membership, Chairperson of Family Fun nights and an Art Docent for their classrooms for two years. I also participated in booster clubs to raise money for the sports. I enjoy walking, bike riding, easy/moderate hiking (nothing too crazy!). I belong to the YMCA where I take Zumba, cycling, a weight class, yoga, pilates and cardio/weights. I just recently bought a guitar and I plan on taking lessons. I am very close to my 3 sons so I enjoy doing various things with them. In addition, I have a 13 year old dog, who thinks he's a puppy! In the past, I worked 7 years at the Kent School District, both in the office and as an Instructional Assistant. I worked some with autistic children and children with learning disabilities. To work at the school district, I had an extensive background check and also I had to be fingerprinted. To my background is squeaky clean! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
