Find experienced child care providers in Oak Harbor, WA

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.

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)**

Hello! My name is Runa, I believe that caring for a child is one of the greatest honors. It's a role that fills me with happiness and provides a genuine wonder for the world. I approach childcare with a philosophy of mutual learning, knowing that children are not just students, but also incredible teachers. I have a background in both group and individual care. I previously worked in a gym daycare, caring for a wide age range of children, from infants as young as 6 months to pre-teens. My most recent experience has been as a live-in nanny for a wonderful baby, where I lived in a separate unit connected to the main house by a breezeway. This long-term, one-on-one experience has been a true delight and has deepened my skills in infant care. Beyond my passion for childcare, I am a dedicated professional who owns and operates a health and wellness business and a non-profit. I am deeply committed to helping others on their personal journeys. I look forward to connecting with a family who values a dedicated and well-rounded caregiver.

Hello. I Am a retired senior who has been taking care of babies & children as a nanny for the last 5 years since moving here from the east coast. I have no certificates or degrees in childcare but just a lifetime of experience coming from a large family & helping raise my 2 grandsons & being around kids my whole life. It has been very rewarding & fulfilling & I am grateful to be able to do it professionally now! Currently I am taking care of a toddler but find it necessary to look for a temporary position as her mom is on maternity leave for the summer. I am very interested in your listing & hope you will consider me for an interview. Jamie

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
