I believe children should be nutured with love & respect. An educational interaction should be carried out daily like learning numbers & colors. Children are a precious gift. I worked for 11yrs as a para educator for the Renton School District,grades k-12 and loved it very much. I've cared for triplet boys from 6wks until they were 3yrs old and at that time they started preschool. I love to Read and interact our stories with pictures and music. I will always have a journal of your baby’s activities for the day including diaper changes and bottles. I will bathe baby daily if you so choose.

We hired Denise for our 15 month old boy on a very short notice for a weekday when the daycare was closed. We couldn’t have gotten luckier! She is a wonderful, warm person and is also extremely professional. My little one loved her instantly and was very happy to spend time with her for the entire day! She is amazing with babies. I highly recommend her and would surely hire her again!

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.

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!

I am a child care teacher, nanny, and now mom to a high school senior in. I work as a school district ECE teacher Sept-June and am doing some Weekend care for extra money. For a number of years I was a nanny in exchange for rent and did after hours care and evening and weekend routines with children 1 years old to age 10, including helping with chores and school work and getting them ready for bed. I enjoy doing cooking, dramatic play, and art with children and I make sure to get them some exercise and quiet time when with them for long stretches of time.

Rebecca sat for my 4 and 7 year old kids for an evening. She was communicative, professional and reliable. The kids were very comfortable with her as soon as she arrived. She has clearly spent a lot of time with children. I would highly recommend Rebecca!

I wanted to become a babysitter because I enjoy working with children’s and I find it rewarding to be able to provide care and being present in there life and support for families who need help. I also like the flexibility and variety that comes with babysitting, as every day is different and presents new challenges and opportunities for learning and growth.

We had Maria over to meet the kids (and dogs). She arrived on time, was friendly and interacted with the children wonderfully. Since it was our first time meeting her, she listened to all of our comments and had some questions, while impressively keeping our toddler engaged and entertained. She’s attentive, caring, and patient.

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.
