Find experienced child care providers in Kent, 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 love kids and am experienced with all ages. I currently teach in elementary. I have worked in an early learning daycare with infants to pre-k. I’m looking for some occasional babysitting jobs that would most likely be best for evenings, date nights, or on weekends. I am CPR certified.

EXPERIENCE: Babysitting experience growing up in a large family. I was a nanny for many years, have been both lead and an assistant teacher as well in an early childhood setting. Both general education and special education. I'm familiar with the development of children from infants up to age five but I have experience with elementary aged children. QUALIFICATIONS: CPR and first aid certified. Trained in Safe Sleep for Infants. I have 30 hours of Child Care Basic (STARS) training as well.

ABOUT ME/CHILDCARE PHILOSOPHY: I have an unrelenting passion for service, helping others and child care. Everything I try to do is to spread joy, love, peace and putting kindness back into this world. I love doing so by modeling it to future generations. I believe in fostering the development of young children through the investment of time and in cultivating their natural love of learning and exploring the world around them in a way that doesn't compromise their safety. The enrichment of lives IS dependent on us nurturing individual developmental needs (social, emotional and academic) in a way that tailors what we teach them with how they learn best. Parent partnerships are very important. Open communication is the key and I will keep parents informed about how the day went. I'm firm believer in celebrating every child's successes and aspirations; who they are, where they are, and where they can go. I believe in gentle and respectful child care and treating children with kindness and patience even through tough moments. I look forward to the opportunity to be able to share these successes with any family I work with. HOURS OF AVAILABILITY: 5:00pm-10:00pm

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!

Hello! My name is Rumana, and I'm a recent graduate from UW Seattle. I’m currently studying for the MCAT and babysitting on the side, so my schedule is pretty flexible between the two! 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 (as far as Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, 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 if available 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 babysat all throughout undergrad, amounting to 4 years of experience doing paid babysitting, and spent an initial 2 years working for a family with three talkative and active kids aged 1, 3, and 5. Afterwards, I began babysitting 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 again, 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!
