Find experienced child care providers in Issaquah, WA

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.

Hello families! My name is Donaisha, but I go by Dee. I am originally born and raised in California, and have been a resident here in Washington for about 5 years now. I am a mother to a beautiful, sweet, smart, funny, outgoing and friendly 6 year old daughter (Kenya). I call her my assistant as she sometimes has to accompany me to jobs I pick up here. She is the reason I began my nanny journey back in 2017. During the past 6 years I have done pretty much every setting when it comes to childcare! Such as, day cares, baby sitting, date nights, overnight care, Montessori teacher, private home educator, learning pods, camp counselor, and tutoring. It’s truly a passion of mine to not only be apart of experiencing these kiddos growth, but also being able to help take the load off of parents who may be juggling a lot. I am Montessori certified, CPR and first aid certified, and up to date with all vaccines. My schedule is currently open and flexible for this upcoming summer and I would love to meet and connect with more families!

Hi there! My names Sami, I am 26 years old, and I come from a HUGE family I have 14 nieces and nephews that I have lived with for good portions of their lives.

I recently just stepped back from working full time in the Pediatric Emergency room, now I am looking for a partime (25hrs+) to full time position. I am CPR & BLS certified. I have my certificate in early childhood education and childhood development With my emergency room and hospital background I know how to take care of children with all special, including chronically ill children. I love being able to say I’m great with infants toddlers and kids at any age. I’m so excited to hear from you and your family!

I’m Christarra McIntyre, a dedicated childcare professional with over a decade of experience working with children from infancy to school age. My journey began as a nanny for three children, and I later transitioned to a teaching role at Kindercare Learning Center, where I earned certifications in early childhood development, CPR, First Aid, and Blood Borne Pathogens. Which I have recently renewed. In Tacoma, I spent six years coaching competitive cheerleading, which helped me foster teamwork and resilience in young athletes. While in Los Angeles, I balanced caring for three boys with supporting their musician father on tour, demonstrating my adaptability in dynamic environments. Moving to Australia enriched my experience as a live-in nanny, where I provided not just childcare, but also educational support and language instruction. Upon returning to the U.S., I cared for two boys, one of whom had specialized needs related to an eating disorder. This experience highlighted my ability to manage complex medical situations with compassion. My time at Kiddie Academy allowed me to further nurture preschool-aged children. The last four summers I have been with one family and the last three years I have worked weekly with another family. Most recently, I’ve provided backup care and date night services for over 6 families, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for every child. I’ve done many school pick-ups and have driven many children. I have also provided a lot of pet care. I value attendance, engagement, structure, and bonding in my work, always prioritizing the voices and opinions of children with patience and respect. My commitment to creating a nurturing atmosphere and supporting holistic development makes me passionate about fostering positive experiences for the children in my care. I am currently seeking a part-time position with a loving family after 3:45 pm. I am currently in trade school full-time to become a carpenter. Thank you for your time and I look forward to speaking with you! Cheers, Christarra McIntyre

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! Enjoy your day!

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! My name is Rumana, and I'm an undergraduate pre-medical student at UW Seattle. I am located in Seattle and can conveniently get to anywhere close by, such as Capitol Hill, but also have a car and can travel farther (Bothell, Redmond, etc.) if needed. I love kids and hope to become a pediatrician one day! To me, working with children is incredibly fun and exciting—I love to engage their curiosity and sense of play as a babysitter and help them learn how to be respectful and kind as peers at the same time. I have experience working with kids of all ages, particularly between infants to around 11 years old. When babysitting, I typically help kids read books, play lots of games, as well as do arts and crafts in order to stimulate their imagination and creativity. I am happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, and any other responsibilities you might need me to do. I have 4 years of experience doing paid babysitting, and spent 2 years working for a family with three talkative and active kids aged 1, 3, and 5. I also babysat for many different families independently for an additional 2 years, and am super adaptable to a variety of kids! In terms of availability, I am typically available in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, but I can be flexible if needed. Parenting is hard; the most fulfilling aspect of babysitting to me is helping your family maintain balance within your lives amidst busy schedules, and I sincerely hope to use my experience working with kids in my future career!
