Sittercity helps Kalama families find the best child care providers

I'm a RAL graduate and a native to longview. As a babysitter, I've spent the last year and a half caring for a vibrant one-year-old and an energetic three-year-old, which taught me the art of patience and multitasking. I've also enjoyed six months of looking after a lively six-year-old and an inquisitive eight-year-old, where I honed my skills in engaging older kids with fun and educational activities. I love being a sitter because it's incredibly rewarding to watch children learn and grow, and I cherish the unique bond I form with each child. I also attended cispus as a camp counselor for 5th grade this last year which offered me the experience to handle 4 children in my care for the first time. My training includes CPR and First Aid certifications as well as 8 months training as a lifeguard, ensuring I'm prepared for any situation, and my experience has equipped me with the ability to handle everything from meal prep and bedtime routines to creative play and conflict resolution.

I’ve been helping to care for younger children since I was 10 years old, becoming an official “babysitter” at 12. I’ve helped care for my younger siblings their whole lives, as well as caring for friend’s kids, and working in a church nursery. I have several references, but I’m not comfortable posting people’s names and contact info online. If you contact me about a job I will pass along my references.

Hello! I'm Makenna and I'm looking for babysitting jobs in the area. I have over 10+ years of experience with babysitting family members and other children, I also have experience caring for newborns, babies, and toddlers. I also raised my siblings, and I have taken a couple of Early Childhood Education classes in college. I love doing crafts with children, and I am also able to cook and clean as well.

Hi, I’m Mariama! I’m a reliable, caring, and energetic babysitter with over 10 years of experience in caregiving. I spent 5 years as a home care assistant and currently work as a high school track and field coach, which has deepened my passion for working with kids and teens. My top priority is always creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for the children I care for. I love coming up with new, creative activities to keep them engaged and happy. I’m CPR certified, have my own car for transportation, and bring a calm, confident presence into every home. I look forward to meeting your family and providing the best care for your little ones!

I’m Ariel! I’m 16 (I know, the site says i’m 18), and love kids and animals. I’m very experienced and responsible taking care of both children and animals. I’m one of those people that kids & pets seem to love! I have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 5 chickens, 5 fish and 1 rabbit in the house as of right now. I love doing arts and am a very inventive person - I take multiple art classes and would love to supply arts & crafts if that’s something your child is interested in! I have my own reliable transportation. Though i’m not CPR certified, i have taken classes and have the basic knowledge on what to do in that situation. If you have any questions, feel free to text or call me at 509-703-0994! Thank you:)

Hello parents! I have been an occasional babysitter for the past 37 years. I have cared for newborns all the way up to teenagers. I do NOT have experience with children with physical disabilities, but am open to learning. I am available to do occasional babysitting jobs. I am NOT seeking full time babysitting or a nanny position; although, I can do PART TIME, temporary nanny positions, if you need one while searching for a full timer. I prefer to babysit no more than 2 children at a time, so I can give each child quality care and watch them closely; however, if you have VERY well behaved children, I am open to babysitting 3 children. I like to engage children while I am babysitting. I do NOT like to plop them in front of the TV-unless it's rest time or when I am preparing meals. If the weather is nice, I like to play in the backyard or go to a nearby park during the day (weather permitting). Even a walk gets them out of the house and moving. I paid for a criminal background check on Care.com, and I have an FBI fingerprint clearance, I can send both to you upon request. I can help with homework- I have three college degrees! I'm good at math, english, writing and science. I am available on short notice, but prefer at least a day's notice. I'd be happy to meet you prior to babysitting if you prefer, or do a FaceTime chat, or a phone call. I am fine with pets, as long as they are friendly. I have a big soft spot for kitty cats! I can take your dog for a walk with the children. Please supply poop bags and leash. Looking forward to meeting you and your child/children. Thank you!

Looking to be able to aide in occasional babysitting for date nights or weekends! I work as a Certified Behavioral Technician and have over a year experience in the field and working with special needs kids. I love bringing a creative and playful energy to every day.

Reading specialist at a school in Lake Havasu. Looking to tutor elementary age students. Also able to do childcare. I have more than 35 years experience from newborn to middle school.

I love working with children and giving them a safe space to grow and learn. Teaching children in a fun way will always bring a smile to my face. I was previously a daycare teacher at WeeCare Daycare and Little Red Bard Academy and am now a full-time student at StyleMasters College for nail technology (and willing to fix up my schedule to accommodate your family). When working in said daycares, I was CPR and First Aid certified, but both have expired with time. I plan on getting those said certificates as soon as I have the money to afford them

Hi! I'm Anastasia, I'm 20 years old and I am originally from Minnesota but moved here to Portland in order to go to school. I just started my sophomore year of college at Portland State University with a a major in Russian. Unfortunately I have decided to withdraw from college this year to take a year off to find what I am passionate about. I have some prior experience with babysitting as I babysat a 6 year old in Minnesota for about a year. I do not have any training or certifications but would be willing to get whatever I need! I love working with kids and hope to do it as my job someday but as for now I am looking for a full time job while I take my year off. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any recommendations.
