Hi families, thanks for stopping by! A little bit about me: -I love exploring through hikes and discovering new things in the surrounding area. -I am a book lover and flower gardener. My experience: -I have 7+ years of childcare experience -I have worked with children in a variety of settings including in-home, and daycares. -Prior experience includes working as a CNA in homes and a retirement community. What your child's day may look like with me: -One-on-one play through reading books, singing songs, active playing with toys, or make-believe. -When requested I bring an activity bag that includes some of my favorite children's books, and several craft/hands-on activities. *small note: I am not looking for full-time work as my schedule doesn't allow it as a student in the last year of my teaching program. I would love to help you with one-time, occasional/part-time, or overnight babysitting.

Hi, my name is Mary and I am a mother of four grown children. I love working with children and helping them become the best they can be. I am a former triathlete and now have decided to slow things down a bit and help others. I started babysitting when I was just 12 years old and included housekeeping after the kids would go to bed to make life easier on parents. I firmly believe that there is more to babysitting than just sitting around as when the parents are gone children need guidence and care and to stay on schedule. I firmly believe that outdoor activities are important as a base for kids to expend energy and to have a healthy outlook away from the television and computer games. I know I can be an asset in helping you with your children and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Mary Higgins

My name is Sierra. I absolutely love making the kiddos happy by engaging them in age appropriate activities. I am a quick learner. I’ve been certified in child care for 6 years now. I also have my 5 year old daughter who comes with for most day time work, if you’re needing night time, date nights or weekends I can most likely leave her at home. She is amazing with all ages and absolutely adores the babies. I was the twos lead teacher and then quickly moved to manager at a daycare center for a year and have tons of experience with all ages (0-13). I have a clean driving record if pickup/drop off is what you need. I’m an animal lover. I’m also a clean freak so feel free to leave those pesky dishes in the sink!

I’m a dedicated and caring child care provider with 2 years of professional experience working with children from infancy to age 4. I truly love being part of a child’s early years—watching their personalities evolve, supporting their milestones, and creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them to grow. My experience includes everything from school pickups and potty training to facilitating nap and play time, navigating temper tantrums with patience, and encouraging creativity through art projects.

Hello! My name is Ireland Sutton and I just recently moved to the Spokane area after finishing my contract with the U.S. Army! Before joining the service, I spent my pre-teen and teenage years taking care of little ones (ages 2 months-11 years) through both full and part-time nanny positions. I recently resigned from working at Sacred Heart Medical Center as a caregiver, and am both CPR and BLS certified. I find my passion in providing the absolute best care I can through attentiveness, empathy, and compassion. I feel qualified as a nanny not only because of experience, but because I genuinely care about my work. I strive to provide and encourage a positive environment wherever I am placed.

My name is Rachel and I am 27 years old. I am the oldest of four siblings and Igrew up being their built in babysitter which is where my childcare experience started. I’ve always enjoyed working with children as it’s such a fulfilling job to watch them grow and see how you took part in their development. At age 16 and 17 I held a job as a referee for children’s sports during two summers from a range of ages (3 - 14 years). I also volunteered at my church’s ‘Vacation Bible School’ during the summer. I moved away from working with kids for a long while after that, aside from babysitting children of family members’ here and there. I mainly held jobs in customer service until August 2023 when I began working at Lilac City Early Learning Center in Spokane. During this time I underwent a background check + fingerprinting, renewed my cpr + first aid certification, took a 30hr STARS training course, received a blood borne pathogens certification, went through several conscious discipline modules and obtained a ton of hands on experience with ages ranging from infants to five year olds. We practiced conscious discipline at the center and I found it to be very aligned with my view of kids and how I want to parent my own daughter. I believe kids need help working through their emotions and to find constructive ways to do that. Working at the center gave me a lot of ideas for redirecting children towards better choices when experiencing big emotions. I went on maternity leave mid December and returned to the center in May 2023. My partner and I relocated to Shoreline at the beginning of June, thus I quit working at the center and began working for families as their nanny/occasional babysitter. Since June I have worked for two families full time and several families doing more occasional/backup care. Now my daughter is 11mo. I am very familiar with watching multiple children at one time since the classrooms at Lilac City would have anywhere between 4-10 children per teacher depending on the age group. I am looking forward to connecting with you and your children.
