Find experienced child care providers in Kingston, WA

I have 10 years of babysitter and nanny experience working with kids. I am patient, interact well with children and am also dedicated to the well upbringing and safety of children. Personally I've raised two girls of my own and is currently an empty nester. Now that I'm no longer a full time mom, I'm taking on some part time jobs assisting other busy parents. I'm also comfortable being around pets. My family moved to WA 23 years ago and I turned a full time mom out of choice. During those years I had the joy of caring for my kids and volunteered as a teacher helper when my younger child started elementary school, helping other children in school with reading and art projects. I taught elementary Singapore Mathematics and substituted for challenged students English classes on Saturdays with Northwest Chinese School when my daughters were attending Chinese lessons there for 3-4 years. Also privately tutored some Taiwanese kids and assisted non-fluent English speakers in the library ESL classes over the years. I believe with proper nurturing and providing children with early learning opportunity can enhance positive child development. I highly value quality education. I am good at reading books to kids and enjoy singing children's songs and rhymes with them. I am great at telling time-tested and children-proved stories. I am good at teaching and making art and craft projects. Also able to handle making healthy kids meals and cleaning after kids with ease. Since the past years to date I have been working part time and occasionally for families with kids ranging from 0 months to 12 years old. I have experience with baby and toddler care. I am currently available for date nights and weekends babysitting. Any other details beyond, I'll be glad to divulge during an interview. Thank you for your consideration.

My name is Samantha and I am a mother of two youngsters! I have worked for three years as a parent coordinator in co-op preschool with kids from 1 to 5. Additionally, I have nanny experience, new born night care experience and regular babysitter experience. Childcare is by far the best career choice I could have ever made. My approach to childcare is play based and rich in art, books, baking and any other activity kids enjoy. What makes me different from other babysitters is that I come to the job with a range of thoughtful and helpful ideas. Firstly, I help teach children effective solutions for issues that arise for anything from sharing to communicating their needs. Secondly, I go above and beyond to anticipate how I can help parents. This means that at the end of a babysitting night all the toys and dishes are all put back and clean. Lastly, I hope you'll choose me because I am a parent and that gives me an insight into what raising a child feels like. I bring ideas, empathy, and care into my work. I see childcare as a three fold job: caring for the children, the family as a whole and the house. Parents know their children better than anyone so I always take parent input seriously and appreciate any feedback along the way. Thank you so much!

Hello! I'm a sitter with a passion for children. I have always loved playing with, teaching and caring for young kids. I am just weeks away from receiving my AAS degree in early childhood education. Much of my experience lies in infant and young toddler hood but I have experience with all ages, as a sitter, nanny and a tutor.

* 23 years old. * 8 years experience. Hi! I’m Taylor, a dedicated nanny with 8 years of professional experience specializing in infant and toddler care. As the eldest of 5 siblings and eldest cousin to 20, I’ve been a natural caretaker and role model since I started babysitting at age 12 and nannying professionally at 15. I create a nurturing environment where children feel safe—physically and emotionally—to express their full range of feelings. Through positive reinforcement, I encourage authenticity, curiosity, and exploration, always prioritizing safety in our urban setting by staying aware of our surroundings and teaching kids to do the same as a team. My favorite way to connect with children is through outdoor adventures! I love empowering them with practical life skills, self-responsibility, manners, and accountability by leading by example and tackling everyday tasks together. Watching their confidence grow is the best part of my day. I’m excited to bring my compassion, grounded approach, and fun energy to your family and grow alongside you!

I am a reliable babysitter with a wide array of experience - from teaching English as a second language, to working as a private nanny and go-to baby-sitter for many families over the last 12 years. I also hold a masters degree in counseling. I love nature walks, creative play, and seeing the world through the eyes of children. I enjoy having the opportunity to assist parents in providing care and structure for their children, and value kindness and empathy above all.

Hi, I’m Sandra and I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years now. It’s been such a rewarding experience to work with children of all ages, watching them grow and develop while being able to create fun and safe environments for them. From playtime to helping with schoolwork, I’ve learned how to adapt to different needs and personalities, making sure each child feels comfortable and cared for.

Hi! My name is Kestrel and I'm 31 years old, born and raised in Seattle! I love spending time with little humans and supporting families. When you choose to hire me as your nanny, you're entrusting me not only with your child's safety and wellbeing, but with their childhood; their sense of wonder, their sense of security, their future memories. I strive to build genuine trust and connection and follow their lead whenever possible. I love reading aloud, coloring, making art, listening to music, and playing outside! My educational background is in psychology and communications, and I've taken several courses on child development. I've had several wonderful experiences caring for neurodivergent kids, including nonverbal kids and kids with high support needs. Outside of nannying, I work part-time as a freelance editor and continue to study editing through the University of Washington. I'm bilingual (English and Brazilian Portuguese), an animal lover, a dog mom, and a proud auntie to two amazing kids! On my days off, you can find me treasure hunting at thrift stores and flea markets, out to brunch with my family, or enjoying nature.

Hello, My name is Sarah, and I am a single mom living in Edmonds with my 14-year-old son. While working in childcare facilities, I have seen first-hand how the children can become unintentionally overlooked due to an overcrowded setting. I know peace-of-mind is necessary when finding a caretaker for your child, and that is something I am willing and wanting to provide.
