Find experienced child care providers in Olalla, WA

My husband and I have four children and six grandchildren! We believe that children are a gift from God, so nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's something I genuinely love to do! With 30 years of experience caring for children aged 0-17, I find immense joy in fostering their growth and development. My approach is patient, kind, and gentle, creating a safe and supportive environment for your little one. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and happy to provide regular updates on your child through texts or phone calls, if desired, in addition to verbal communication at the end of our time together. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I am First Aid and CPR certified as of December 13th, 2025. I am happy to help with carpooling and light housekeeping, and would love to babysit so you the parent/parents can get a day/night off. It would be my pleasure to support your family and provide a reliable occasional childcare option for you.

I have been babysitting ever since I was 12 years old. I wanted to give back for all the years that I had been taken care of. I took a specific course to become a babysitter and started to babysit my neighbors. I had heard about a course specifically for babysitting, so I took it. After that I was good to go to babysit the whole neighborhood. It worked out perfectly while I attended UC Davis. I graduated with two degrees in Dramatic Art and Design, and two minors in Chicano Studies and Education. I love to teach it and create new things. I am also a Spanish native speaker. I was born in a town near Mexico City. I am very interested in teaching kids what I have learned and also try to have fun with them. Every time I babysit I like to teach the kids something new. Currently, I am a pre-K teacher. I am loving, fun, and entertaining to be around. Teaching kiddos is my passion. It’s the beginning of a new beginning in education. Please ask what my availability is for the summer! Gracias

I have eight years of experience as a preschool teacher and about 15 years of experience as a babysitter/nanny. As a preschool teacher, I worked with children aged 12 months to 5 years, caring for their basic needs and helping them with activities to develop their mental, social and emotional skills. I was a summer camp counselor for four years, which gave me a lot of experience with outdoor activities and crafts, and with interacting with children of all ages. I have babysat children aged 1 month to 12+ years. I am a positive person who believes in listening, having fun, and helping every child reach their full potential. I also previously worked as a home visitor, serving low-income families with children age birth to three. Now I recently got my Masters in Social Work and working during the day doing therapy with teens, but I am free to pick up evening and weekend babysitting! Looking forward to meeting you!

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.

Hi- My name is Dylan! I enjoy partnering with parents to ensure children receive the nurturing, consistency, care, and fun they need. I am a kid at heart and love to get down on the floor (or up in a play structure) to play with kids, encouraging their imagination, doing age appropriate science and art projects, adventuring outdoors, and facilitating their brain development through play, reading, and singing. It is important to me to model empathy, respect, and acceptance with the goal of empowering children to solve problems. Additionally, I am very skilled at multi-tasking and time management to ensure the safety and well being of all children in my care. Biggest strength: I give kids the attention they deserve! I am regularly referred to by parents as the 'kid whisperer' or 'Pied Piper.' While some believe I have magical powers (especially toddlers!), in truth, I am simply present and attuned to their needs and wants, through the laughter and tears. Experience: I have over 15 years experience as a babysitter and nanny for children birth to 17 years of age, providing care for up to 5 children at a time both in the family's home and traveling. The majority of my experience is with infants and toddlers. I have volunteered as a child care provider for Pinay sa Seattle, co-facilitating a childcare group during meetings and events for up to 8 children ages 8 months-7 years. Additionally, I have experience as a birth and postpartum doula. I have worked with single parent and blended families, have experience with twins, triplets, ADD/ADHD, autism, food allergies, trauma, and preemie infant health issues.

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.

Hello Everyone! My name is Karen. I have been a Special Education teacher for 12 years now, 11 years in NYC Department of Education and 1 year in Seattle Public Schools.

I am currently going back to school part time to explore a creative passion of mine, however, I would still love the opportunity to work with children in some capacity! I would describe myself as a very loving person, honest, kind, I am a huge animal lover, passionate about loving our planet, and above all a big kid who likes to be goofy and fun.

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! :)

Hi! My name is Milagros, and I’m a caring, reliable, and energetic childcare provider with over 5 years of experience working with children of different ages. I’m originally from Argentina and currently based in Seattle. I have a background in Physical Education and Personal Training, which strongly shapes the way I care for kids — I love encouraging movement, outdoor play, and healthy routines in a fun and safe way. I’ve worked as a full-time nanny, babysitter, and caregiver, supporting families with everything from daily routines and school pickups to creative play, meals, and emotional support. I’m very attentive, organized, and calm under pressure, and I truly value building trust with both parents and children. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your child with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and I always aim to create a positive, structured, and loving environment where kids feel safe, seen, and supported. I’m happy to adapt to each family’s needs and parenting style, and I communicate clearly and openly. I genuinely enjoy working with children and being a supportive presence in their growth and daily life. I’d love to connect and see if I could be a good fit for your family!
