Hey there! I’m Mia and since a little girl I’ve always wanted to grow up and work with kids. It’s fascinating seeing the world by their eyes and sharing experiences with them. I’m fluent in two languages and I’m also a faster learner. Very careful with details, I do not use drugs, smoke or drink. I’m responsible and wiling to do a great job and help in whatever I can. I know how to cook, swim, First Aid and punctuality it’s something important to me. I have my own car and flexible schedule and have experience with babies, toddlers and also older kids. I understand that parents need someone they can trust and kids need someone they feel comfortable with and I’m happy to say that I can be that person for your family. I have references for kids of different ages and absolutely love dealing with all of them. Currently looking for opportunities outside of Cape Cod as I am leaving the island. If you have any questions please do not hesitate in contacting me, Mia

I used to work for a public school district for many years. I have previous experience working in the infant/toddler room and school age children at La Petite Academy Daycare. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which I believe is a plus point, since handling children requires a sitter to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. I am able to drive children to school and accompany them at medical appointments. I am well-versed in performing housework related to childcare, including washing clothes, cleaning up after meals, and tidying up play areas. I don't mind planning and preparing nutritious meals for children according to their tastes and nutritional needs. I enjoy playing with children and helping them develop skills by creating a stimulating environment. My goal is to provide a nurturing and safe environment for children. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I don't mind pets at all!

I mentored them by providing a safe space for open discussion, organizing activities, and helping with homework. After that, I worked as a nanny for about three years before preparing to attend college. While in college, I worked part-time as a caregiver at a senior living facility. During school breaks, I continued nannying on and off. I also have occasional experience with dog sitting, which includes walking, feeding, and playtime.

Hello Everyone! My name is Emma and I am offering occasional babysitting services! I’m your typically 25 year old trying to make some extra income.I have my Associates of the Arts degree, Associates of the Arts in Teachers Education as well as a certificate in business management. I am ONLY available for occasional/date night babysitting opportunities in University Place/Tacoma/Lakewood area! *I am fully vaccinated against covid* I am currently employed at University Place School District as a Para-Educator in the Transitional Kindergarten program! With that I am only available for date night care. I am the oldest of 4 kids with all of many different ages (22,13 and 12). Way back to 2011 my dad lost his job when the economy tanked he went back to school while my mom was the only working and we had 2 big surprises pop up! She had my brother and my sister durning this time which made me grow into a bigger role of big sister/babysitter/2nd mom. Therefore I have experience with all ages and even children with disabilities. For 3 years I worked at the Morgan YMCA teaching swim lessons to all ages (6months-adults), did lifeguarding and also participated in a swim program called Swimming for Exceptional Children. I am no longer certified still in lifeguarding. However, I am certified in CPR/AED, First Aid, and Oxygen. Through my previous job at the Morgan YMCA I have taking training courses such as child abuse prevention, sexual harassment, blood born pathogens, hazard communication, ALICE, listen first and much more. I am non-smoking, have references, have access to a car/have a license, as well as willing to take a background check or do an interview prior to occasional babysitting gig. Feel free to message me with any comments, questions or concerns! 😊

Hi, I'm Myka! I am university student in Seattle and hoping to achieve my bachelor's degree in Developmental Psychology within the next two years. As of right now I am working at early childhood, education school working with children ages 4 months to 6 years. However, will be returning back to campus in early September. Because I have worked in the school system, I have an up-to-date, criminal background check, as well as multiple child care trainings, through the Department of Children and Youth and Families. I have a strong background in childcare and have worked with children of all ages for over 4 years. I'm skilled in creating fun and engaging activities that promote learning and creativity. I'm always ready to lend a helping hand with homework or chores. I'd describe my personality as outgoing, compassionate, and lively. In my spare time, I like to explore the water with my golden doodle or try new recipes in the kitchen. I hope to hear from you soon :)

Hi families! I am Lyly and am very excited to be working for a new family! My last nanny family’s kids just started school so they no longer need childcare. I have over 15 years experience working with children - 13 years as a nanny for many families and 2 years as a Montessori teacher assistant for University of Washington Children's Center. I have worked with children of all ages, from newborns as early as 1 month old to teens. I currently live in Federal Way so I am hoping to find a new long term family who lives in the surrounding cities and will need childcare for at least 30-40 hours a week, but am possibly open for short term or part time as well. I received my ECE (Early Childhood Education) Certification in December of 2009, after my internship at Renton Technical College. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for reading! Lyly

Hi! My name is Leslie, and I’ve been nannying for about 8 years in Seattle. I have been lucky to have worked with amazing families who I still keep in touch with. I speak Spanish and English fluently. I have experience nannying newborns up until elementary school aged kids, which both have helped me further understand the importance of creating bonds built within each age group. Previously I worked at a licensed childcare center, so I received my childcare license and went through all the WA State DCYF training. I also have my CPR AED and First Aid certification, along with my food handlers card. I am great with technology, (which is helpful when it comes to virtual learning) and currently have an AS in Computer Science. My 4 year old daughter has provided me the firsthand experience to parenthood, and further improving my love for child development.
