Find experienced child care providers in Steilacoom, WA

Hi! I just graduated with my Masters in forensic psychology, and I am looking for my last job as a nanny before I start working in my field. I have been nannying for 5 years but have been taking care of children for over 11 years. I am so grateful for all the connections I made over the years with the families I worked with and I look forward to making another one. Thank you for your consideration!

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!

Hi, I’m Arianne. I’ve been a nanny for 12 years. I have Nannie’s all ages from infancy-pre teen. I tend to stay in long term positions if it’s the right fit. The last two families I have worked for have been long term. I was with my last family for 5 years and I still continue to do babysitting gigs for them when needed. They have 6 kids but I primarily cared for the 3 youngest (8,5, and 1). I have been with my current family for 2 years. They have 3 kids (8, 6, and 3) The youngest, I believe, will start preschool in the fall, so I’m putting feelers out for a new position. I do like to let potential families know a couple things before we proceed just not to waste anyone’s time and just in case values are extremely different. 1. I have a lot of tattoos and some piercings. But I do not do drugs or smoke and I rarely even drink. I am open to drug testing and full background checks. 2. I am a lesbian. I know that may not be acceptable to all people so I like to let people know beforehand. 3. This is my sole source of income. If you hire me on, I will need 40 guaranteed hours and sick pay. If for any reason needs change, I will need notice a month in advance. Thanks for taking the time to read this. And if I don’t hear from you, good luck finding an amazing caregiver.

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! :)

My name is Sarah, and I am a dependable childcare professional with four years of nanny experience working in long-term positions with families. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for children while helping families maintain a well-organized home. I am comfortable caring for children of various ages, including when they are sick or need additional support. I stay calm in stressful situations, multitask well, and adapt easily to changing schedules and family needs. Along with childcare, I am also comfortable assisting with household management tasks and working around animals. Before nannying, I worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor, which gave me strong knowledge of water safety, emergency awareness, and responsibility. I have been working since I was 15 years old at a recreation center, where I developed a strong work ethic and excellent communication skills. I am flexible with scheduling and willing to work early mornings, evenings, weekends, or late nights as needed. I also have multiple strong references available upon request. I truly enjoy building lasting relationships with families and providing dependable, compassionate care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and contribute positively to your home.
