Find experienced child care providers in Oak Harbor, WA

Hi, Long story short- in 2011, I graduate from UW with a business/IT degree and in 2013, I received my MBA at WWU. But, I decided not to go the corporate route just yet. At the time, being 23 with an MBA- I really didn't have much free-time to myself as I was only focused on my education and potential business career. So, I decided to look into what my passions were (and they still are)- children, family and travel. Therefore, for the past 5 years- I have been mainly babysitting and nannying to help fund for my world travels. During those years, I've helped well over three dozen families- caring for over 60+ children of all ages. I have enjoyed and loved every moment of it. I've learned a great deal from each family and each child. I also have over 8 years of childcare experience prior to those 4 ½ years- primarily in daycare settings. I've found many families that I will always keep in touch with- some of which I still help out whenever needed. It's been a blessing to see all the children grow up. So, when I first started traveling- I would go for 4 to 6 months at a time. I've been all over Southeast Asia, Central & South America, Europe and Lebanon. But as I'm getting older and have my heart invested in families- I've slowed down on my travels because to be honest, kids are more important. :) I now mainly do short-trips (mostly when families are on vacation/ there's a large gap in my schedule). And I'm starting to have an interest in small trips around the US. Unfortunately, the family that I’ve been with for over 6 years no longer need my help as the boys are old enough to take care of themselves. Therefore, I am looking for a full-time position with a great family. :) I could also do part-time if needed. Thanks for the consideration! Please feel free to message me for any questions you may have or answers I could provide. **COVID VACCINATED & BOOSTED (since 11/02/2021)**

Hi! I'm 25 years old and have over 7 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from as young as 3 months up to 12 years old. I’ve worked with children in both one-on-one settings and group environments, including two years in a daycare center. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, and I always aim to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment where kids can thrive. I’ve completed a background check through a government agency and have worked with the Navy’s fee assistance program. I’m dependable, energetic, and passionate about helping kids learn, play, and grow. Please note, I do have my own little one who would accompany me while I care for your child(ren). I always make sure this works smoothly for everyone and that all children feel included and well cared for.

Hello, my name is Arielle DeGroot, and I have a deep passion for working with children, helping them grow, and building their confidence.

Additionally, I am certified in First Aid and CPR and have completed the 30-hour Child Care Basics certification along with STARS training.

I would love the opportunity to support you and your child, providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for their development

Hi! I’m a pre-nursing student who genuinely loves working with kids and creating a positive, fun, and safe environment for them. I love being a sitter because I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and helping them feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I have experience babysitting as well as teaching and coaching through swim instruction, working with all ages and ability levels, including children with special needs. I’m very comfortable managing multiple kids, keeping them active, and helping with routines. I am BLS/CPR/AED certified and trained in emergency oxygen, so safety is always a top priority for me. As a former collegiate swimmer, I also enjoy incorporating fun, active play into the day. I’m dependable, patient, and caring, and I would love to be a positive addition to your family.

Please see my complete nanny profile. This site is redundant and will not let me add a babysitter profile as well. Thank you for your understanding. Kathy

I have a lot of hands-on childcare experience from helping raise my baby brother and younger sister, as well as babysitting for my neighbors. I’ve helped care for my sister since I was 10 and helped raise my baby brother since he was born. Through this I’ve gained experience with feeding, bedtime routines, helping with homework, playing with kids, and keeping them safe and entertained. I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy creating a positive and supportive environment for children.

Hi there my name is Lexi! I am a very fun, energetic, loving and respectful 28 year old seeking a family in need of my care. I have been babysitting/nannying, care giving, and dog sitting for families with kids of all ages as well as elders for over 10 years. From 2016-2019 I was a Nanny for a wonderful family with 2 amazing kids ages 1 and 3. I also cared for their grandpa who had dementia and his father in law who needed my care. I provided games, activities, cleaned and prepared meals daily. I have many years of experience before and after this full time job of nannying and have met some wonderful families I still talk to. I hope to find a nice family to help care for their children and create wonderful memories. I am very flexible and happy to meet beforehand to get to know each other and discuss accommodations for your family’s needs. Thank you for reading and I hope to set up an interview to meet :)

Hi there! I'm a responsible and dependable 25-year-old with a lifelong background in caregiving—as the oldest of 7 siblings, taking care of kids has been second nature to me for as long as I can remember. I'm currently serving in the military and working toward my bachelor's degree, so I'm picking up flexible side jobs to support my education goals. I’m CPR certified, patient, and know how to keep calm in any situation—something both the military and my siblings have trained me well for! I’m a great choice for parents looking for a reliable sitter for date nights or last-minute help. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and hope to have a family of my own one day. If you're looking for someone caring, mature, and capable, I'd love to connect and see how I can help!
