Lenexia F., Child Care in Federal Way, WA 98023 with 6 years of paid experience

My named Lenexia! I started working with kids when I was around 14 years old. My first and longest experience has been with my now 7year old client. I’ve taken care of her since she was 1year old. She’s definitely given me the experience needed to supervise , maintain balanced meals and provide a set schedule for her. Ive also taken care of other children of varying ages and love working with all kids!

Lenexia babysat our 14mo old toddler for the first time and it went great! He is always skeptical of babysitters (especially new ones) but he ate his dinner, and fell asleep at a good time. Lenexia was very communicative, and we never worried about him at all. Would happily ask Lenexia to babysit again. Thank you!

Hi there! I recently earned my degree in early childhood education from Skagit & Highline College, and I have been caring for children for 5+ years as a childcare provider. I work with all ages such as newborns, infants, toddlers, preschool, and school age. I love working with young kids as I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. I want to be able to provide parents with someone trustworthy to care for their children.

Maddy G., Child Care in Federal Way, WA 98023 with 15 years of paid experience

I have eight years of experience as a preschool teacher and about 15 years of experience as a babysitter/nanny. As a preschool teacher, I worked with children aged 12 months to 5 years, caring for their basic needs and helping them with activities to develop their mental, social and emotional skills. I was a summer camp counselor for four years, which gave me a lot of experience with outdoor activities and crafts, and with interacting with children of all ages. I have babysat children aged 1 month to 12+ years. I am a positive person who believes in listening, having fun, and helping every child reach their full potential. I also previously worked as a home visitor, serving low-income families with children age birth to three. Now I recently got my Masters in Social Work and working during the day doing therapy with teens, but I am free to pick up evening and weekend babysitting! Looking forward to meeting you!

As first-time parents, entrusting our 3.5-week old newborn to a babysitter was a leap of faith, filled with natural apprehension. However, from the moment we began our search, Maddy stood out with her impressive qualifications. Our initial phone interview only deepened our admiration, and meeting her in person sealed the deal - we knew she was the perfect fit for our family. Returning home from our trial run, we were greeted by the most comforting sight: our little boy, soundly asleep in Maddy’s arms, with the soft melodies of classical music in the background. It was a moment of pure serenity and trust, leaving us with no doubt about Maddy’s exceptional caregiving skills. Maddy earns an unequivocal 5 out of 5 stars from us. To those considering her services, my advice is simple: act fast and book her as soon as you can. If not, you might just find that we’ve already called dibs for her next availability. Her blend of professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for children is a rare find. We are not only thrilled but also grateful to have Maddy as part of our child’s life. Without hesitation, we plan to hire her again and again. She’s not just a babysitter; she’s a wonderful addition to our family’s journey.

I mentored them by providing a safe space for open discussion, organizing activities, and helping with homework. After that, I worked as a nanny for about three years before preparing to attend college. While in college, I worked part-time as a caregiver at a senior living facility. During school breaks, I continued nannying on and off. I also have occasional experience with dog sitting, which includes walking, feeding, and playtime. Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me. I hope to have the opportunity to provide the best care for your family! 😊

Myka T., Child Care in Federal Way, WA 98023 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello, I'm Myka! I'm a university student based in Tacoma, working towards my bachelor's degree in Developmental Psychology, which I plan to complete within the next year. Recently, I earned my Behavioral Therapy credentials and have had the chance to assist many families in the ABA community. As I return to school and step away from my role as a therapist, I'm hoping to find another family to work with during the academic year while I study full-time. With over seven years of experience caring for children of all ages, I have a strong background in childcare. I enjoy designing fun and engaging activities that promote learning and creativity, and I am always eager to help. I'd describe myself as outgoing, compassionate, and lively. In my free time, I love exploring the water with my golden doodle or trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon! :)

I have years of experience working with children. I gained the majority of my experience with children working for Seattle Parks and Recreation and working for an independent school in Seattle. I enjoy what I do, therefore I am a very happy person. I love the freedom and flexibility of babysitting. I now work full time for King County Superior Court, but I love spending time with Children.

Hearther is the best! I've got a tough kid and she loves Heather. Specifically asks for her. In fact, I've recommended her to other families I know who have kids with big behaviors and they all love her too. Her ability to meet them in a playful spirt and still be the adult in charge makes such a difference. And, she truly loves our kids. She's always thinkng of activities or programs that my daughter could take advantage of. Highly recomend, Heather!

Taylor was a fantastic babysitter for our two-month baby! She helped us out in a last minute request which was very appreciated. She had a nurturing demeanor and was calmly able to care for our newborn. She was easy to communicate with, dependable and pleasant to work with. We would definitely work with Taylor again!

I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to connect with others, whether it’s pets, children, or elderly individuals. There’s something incredibly rewarding about providing care and seeing those I look after feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I enjoy the flexibility of the job, too, as it allows me to balance my time while helping others with their needs. It’s fulfilling to know that I’m offering peace of mind to families or pet owners. have experience in [pet sitting/babysitting/elderly care], where I’ve learned to manage tasks like feeding, administering medications, and providing companionship. Over time, I’ve gained confidence in caring for different individuals, whether it’s keeping pets entertained and active or helping children with their daily routines. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with families on various occasions, which has improved my ability to adapt to different needs and preferences. I have strong communication skills, which help me interact effectively with both the individuals I’m caring for and their families. I’m also trained in first aid and CPR, which I believe is an essential skill for any sitter. I have experience managing schedules and routines, especially with children or pets, and I’m good at keeping everything organized. I’m patient, compassionate, and enjoy being proactive in addressing any challenges that may arise, whether that’s calming an anxious pet or ensuring a child feels safe and secure.
