Find experienced child care providers in Carnation, WA

I am a warm, conscientious,positive and reliable person and the mother of four young adults, one an All survivor. I was active in their schools and activities and am used to those routines. For 13 years I worked with groups of elementary aged children in science enrichment programs as well as supervising and instructing in summer camp settings. For the last five years I have worked as a before school nanny for one family, and afternoons as a family assistant to another family with teenagers. For three years I have been an after school/camp nanny for 2 additional families. I also provide child care nights and weekends for several other families on an occasional basis. I love working with children, watching them grow and develop their special talents. I have a flexible schedule and try to accommodate your needs.

Hello! My name is Marisa, and I am looking for a wonderful family (preschool or elementary age) to support as a part-time nanny. I have a lifelong passion for working with children and a wealth of experience to draw from. I studied early childhood education in college and worked as a Pre-K teacher before stepping away to raise my four children. They are all grown, and my husband and I have entered a new phase of empty nesting! Throughout my years as a stay-at-home mom, my life has revolved around children—volunteering in my children’s classrooms, teaching young children at church, and babysitting for friends. I love watching children grow in confidence, independence, and creativity. My approach is rooted in play-based learning, which, I believe, inspires curiosity and critical thinking. I enjoy guiding children through open-ended projects that encourage discovery and problem-solving in a fun and engaging way. I believe in firm, but gentle parenting: setting boundaries, calmly redirecting unwanted behaviors, positive reinforcement, natural consequences, encouraging empathy, and above all, showing lots of love. I strive to help each child I interact with feel safe, valued, and important. My most recent nanny experience has been a dream--supporting an amazing multilingual family. I have loved helping their elementary-age child build confidence with English through everyday conversation and playful learning. I am dedicated to nurturing and advocating for children, and I consider it a privilege to support their development. Thank you for considering me as part of your family’s caregiving team—I look forward to meeting you!

Hi everybody! I am a certified math teacher and a boys' basketball coach at a high school in Renton. I attended school at the University of Washington where I obtained my Master's in Teaching in 2020. I've been working with kids for 10 years and have babysat for the past 5 years. I've cared for many families, mostly in date night roles, with kids aged 1 and up. In addition to date nights, I've also helped with weekends/overnights, after school, and full-time babysitting in the summer. Working with kids is something I enjoy doing and is the reason I became a teacher and a coach. I like to spend the time interacting and engaging with the kids. I focus on making sure they have a safe and fun time while in my care. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I'm excited for the opportunity to work with you and your family!

Hello i am Winnie. I am CPR and First Aid Certified and a high school graduate. My enthusiasm for taking care of little ones started when I was only a teenager but I would say it fully blossomed when I had the opportunity to work as a assistant pre-school/basic school teacher in my young adolescent years back in Jamaica. I am a christian married and I’ve raised three children of my own, they are all wonderful respectful adults now who have left the nest and are currently growing loving families of their own. I am a proud grandmother to Seven little ones who I love so dearly, ranging from age one to thirteen years old, all seven of which I’ve had the opportunity to be a hands on grandma to for brief and mostly longer periods of time. Being a nanny is something that comes second nature to me as I’ve always been one that cares a great deal for people in general, with a extra soft spot in my heart for little ones. I am comfortable working with any ages children i am looking forward to finding the next family that I’ll be working with long term. I am also love to work with special needs children or seniors.I am also available to work on holidays and to assist in dates nights i am available to help out with light house keeping ect Thanks for taking the time to read my message. I hope we connect soon.
