Find experienced child care providers in Poulsbo, WA

Hello! I'm a sitter with a passion for children. I have always loved playing with, teaching and caring for young kids. I am just weeks away from receiving my AAS degree in early childhood education. Much of my experience lies in infant and young toddler hood but I have experience with all ages, as a sitter, nanny and a tutor.

Hello, I graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz. Following my studies at UCSC, I returned to Mira Costa community college to complete my 12 Early Childhood Education credits. I come from a family of four girls, 2 older sisters and one younger sister. Throughout high school, I volunteered at the local library reading program. I volunteered at bible school where I was responsible for supervising groups of 4-5 preschool aged kids. I also worked as a babysitter for family friends and neighbors throughout high school, with experiences babysitting up to four kids at once. When I turned 16, I started working at the city pool and taught swim lessons there for five years for kids ranging from 3 to 15 years old. In college, I interned for a Kindergarten classroom at a school for children with autism and gained one-to-one instructional experience. I worked as a paraprofessional in MA for 3 years in a Pre-k classroom for children with autism. I received my Master’s degree in Special Education from UW in August 2019. I currently work full time with children with autism ages 2-18 I am certified by the American Red Cross in Adult CPR/AED, Infant CPR, & First Aid. I am only accepting date night or one time positions as I am employed with a full time job. PLEASE NOTE: I am happy to work with children with disabilities. However, if your child has a disability I expect full disclosure BEFORE watching your child (for any developmental, social/emotional, or behavioral special needs). This is for my safety and the safety of your child.

I have many years experience caring for children of all ages professionally. I have a clean background and reliable transportation. I have worked as a caregiver for the past 15 years helping elderly and disabled clients in their homes. I'm also a mom of a 27 year old son and 18 year old daughter and grandmother of 1 year old granddaughter 🙂 I love to cook making healthy meals and snacks, keeping homes clean and tidy, do arts/crafts, play games/ do puzzles and read books/watch movies occasionally and going to play outside in the fresh air when weather is decent. I enjoy pets and helping with them as well if needed. I'm flexible about days and times and for date nights too. I could even do overnights as well with a days advance notice if you need a weekend getaway. Please reach out if you are interested in meeting with me. Thanks Teresa😊

Hi, I’m Cameron! I have a strong background working with children through both professional and personal experiences. I’ve worked in ABA therapy, supporting children with developmental and behavioral needs, which has given me valuable skills in patience, communication, and structure. I’ve also spent years babysitting for families in my church community, building trusted relationships and caring for kids of various ages. I truly enjoy helping families by providing a safe, positive, and engaging environment for their children. Whether it’s playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m dependable, nurturing, and always focused on each child’s individual needs. I work for Lake Washington School District as a behavioral therapist and would love to assist your children in a fun nurturing environment!

Hi my name is Abby Raschkow and I go to Seattle pacific university and I am studying nursing. I love being a sitter because I love kids and want to be a pediatric nurse so I believe babysitting is great experience for my future career. I have also taken many anatomy/psychology classes so I have learned a lot about kids and their big emotions.

I have spent my freshmen and Sophomore year (2013-2015) at college working with preschool English language learners. In the summer, I have worked at Green Tree early education located in Downtown s University district.

Hello Everyone! My name is Emma and I am offering occasional babysitting services!

With that I am only available for date night care. I am the oldest of 4 kids with all of many different ages (23,14 and 13). Way back to 2011 my dad lost his job when the economy tanked he went back to school while my mom was the only working and we had 2 big surprises pop up! She had my brother and my sister durning this time which made me grow into a bigger role of big sister/babysitter/2nd mom. Therefore I have experience with all ages and even children with disabilities. For 3 years I worked at the Morgan YMCA teaching swim lessons to all ages (6months-adults), did lifeguarding and also participated in a swim program called Swimming for Exceptional Children. I am no longer certified still in lifeguarding. However, I am certified in CPR/AED, First Aid, and Oxygen.

Hi! I am 25 years old and I have been a certified babysitter for 13 years, a camp counselor for 7 summers for ages 4-13, and a nanny/household manager for 3.5 years. I have experience working with challenging kids and kids with special needs (Down's Syndrome, ADHD, autism, anxiety, ODD). I am a registered behavior technician with 1 year of experience doing trauma-informed applied behavioral therapy. I have a psychology degree from UC Davis and took child development courses, which, along with my extensive hands-on childcare experience, has greatly informed my parenting philosophies. I practice authoritative (not authoritarian), gentle, positive, and attachment parenting. I encourage autonomy, independence, confidence, emotional expression and regulation. I love playing indoor and outdoor games, helping with homework, cooking and doing arts and crafts with kids. I also love animals and am willing to do light child-related housework. I can send my formal resumé upon request. Please feel free to message me if you think we’d be a good fit! ***Potty trained kids only***

Infant and toddler nanny available this summer June-September Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays for up to 18 hours a week. Also available for occasional date nights. Hello, families! I have over 10 years of intermittent babysitting experience as well as a year of nanny experience! I currently work as a therapist but I miss working with littles. Before becoming a therapist, I was a part-time nanny for a 9-15 month old, and I loved my job! Along with the usual diaper changes, bottles, and naps, we spent the day playing in the kiddie pool during the summer, reading lots of board books, doing assisted walking, working on language acquisition, going to the park, and singing and dancing. My style tends to be child-led: I observe what activities the child gravitates toward and then introduce a new element to help with development. Other experience: In 2023, I was also a nanny for a 4-8 month old and an 8-11 month old. We went on lots of walks together, did tummy time and playing, and had many in-depth nonsensical conversations ;). Besides childcare and being a mental health counselor, my main work experience has been as a Life Enrichment Assistant at an assisted living community, which I did for five years, helping to run activities and events. During that time, I came up with creative activities (art, music, games, outings), and I love bringing this creativity to my nanny and babysitting jobs to keep children engaged and learning. A few more things about me: I love cleaning, baking, playing ukulele, singing in the rain, and playing with pets. Thank you for your time and for considering me to care for your kiddos! I look forward to hearing from you.
