Find local child care providers in Palouse, WA

I’m a second-year student at the University of Idaho and have been babysitting for about 7 years. I’ve worked with kids of many ages and always aim to create a safe, patient, and engaging environment. I’m naturally calm and understanding, which helps me handle everything from busy playtimes to tricky moments with ease. In addition to babysitting, I also have several years of experience teaching private swim lessons. That taught me how to connect with kids one-on-one, encourage them through challenges, and make learning fun skills that translate directly into babysitting and nannying. I like to keep kids active and creative, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, reading, or helping with homework. I also make sure daily routines (meals, bedtime, etc.) run smoothly so parents can feel at ease. With school and campus activities, my schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with families to find times that fit best. I’m especially interested in something consistent during the school year, like regular babysitting or part-time nannying. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter who brings patience, responsibility, and fun, I’d love to connect!

Hi! My name is Kylin, and I am a recent college graduate. I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and I have a long background in childcare. I spent five summers as a nanny for 3-4 children aged 5 months to 11 years as a teenager, and I’ve also worked in daycare settings with infants and children up to twelve years old. I also have experience working with foster children in a qualified residential treatment facility, ages 11-17. I am capable of working with kids who have numerous levels of necessary care, and I am skilled at keeping a calm, structured, and healthy environment, while also keeping children entertained and happy.

Hello! I am currently in my last semester at WSU studying Human Development + Premed. I have always loved working with kids and have spent the last 7 years babysitting/nannying. My end goal is to become a pediatrician but until then I want to continue working with kids. I am CPR and first aid certified and spent the last 4 years lifeguarding/managing a pool. I also have extensive knowledge of the different developmental milestone and how to support children to reach those. I love being adventurous and spending time outside. I also love doing crafts, playing games, and having fun. I like to keep screens away and fully dedicating my time to entertaining and playing with the kiddos. I have years of experience with over 10 different families. I have worked with newborns - 14 year olds and even have experience with twin babies! I am currently looking for a nanny position starting in December (when I graduate). Please reach out if you think I’d be a good fit!

ChatGPT said: I'm a senior at the University of Idaho with a very open class schedule, making me flexible and reliable for babysitting, nannying, house sitting, or dog sitting. I’ve been caring for children since I was young, starting with my younger siblings and later watching family friends’ kids, which naturally grew into more clients through word of mouth. I love being a sitter because I enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with families and helping kids feel supported, safe, and encouraged. I’m upbeat and patient, and I believe in keeping a positive attitude to help kids feel motivated and capable—even when things get tough. I also have plenty of experience with pets, especially dogs, as I grew up with four of them and am totally comfortable around animals. I’m also no stranger to household responsibilities like cleaning, laundry, and cooking—skills I picked up helping around the house and working in my dad’s restaurant. I’m always happy to help with homework and do what it takes to make things easier for busy families.

I had 5 siblings and regularly looked over them so when I started getting offered jobs as a babysitter it came naturally. My grandparents are also teachers so when it came time for large field trips I'd always volunteer. I'm also a huge dog and cat person so pets are no problem to me.

For the past 4 consecutive summers I have been a lifeguard and taught swim lessons for ages 2-8. I have also worked as a Daycare Teacher for six months. I am CPR and First Aid certified, both for adults and infants. I love working with kids, and I plan on majoring in Early Childhood Education so I can pursue the passion in the future. I am a huge believer in no screen time, and I love to sit down and read as much as I can. I also believe in the importance of being outside, as well as healthy eating. I hope to meet your family soon!
