Hi there! I am Abby (she/her). This June, I will be graduating from Washington State University Vancouver with my Master’s in Teaching. I graduated from the University of Washington in June 2024. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education, Communities, and Organizations with Disability Studies and American Indian Studies minors. I have been caring for children for 6 years as a babysitter and as the oldest sibling, as well as supervising children in summer camp and school settings. My babysitting experience ranges in ages from infant to twelve. I recently cared for a one year old for six months, starting when she was only six months herself - this included diaper changes, feedings, putting her down for naps, and taking her on adventures to Kids Club, swimming, and free events at the local library. I have also babysat toddlers and assisted them with potty training. I also babysit families with siblings ranging in ages of 2-4 and 6-10. I truly love working with kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. With each family I understand cleaning is not expected but light housework such as dishes, vacuuming, and tidying up the toy room is no problem for me! I have experience babysitting children with ASD and ADHD. I have found success in building relationships with these children through discussing triggers, what the child enjoys, and boundaries with parents before we start working together. I am also passionate about working with children with disabilities in the school setting. I am currently a substitute, often filling in as a paraprofessional. From September 2023 to May 2024 I held an internship as a substitute paraprofessional in the Seattle Public School system, regularly working at Concord International Elementary School. Nothing makes me happier than reading, doing crafts, playing games/puzzles and being outside! My number one focus is keeping the children happy but most importantly safe. I have my CPR certification and can run a background check upon request. I can provide references upon request. Currently I'm available ONLY on weekends, hopefully for the occasional date night. I am looking for a family that would be in need of upcoming summer care. I'd love to meet your family and get to know your children!

Abby worked for our family for almost a year from when our daughter was 3 months to 1 year. Abby was our daughter's favorite childcare provider, and main provider. Abby is an excellent childcare provider and I recommend her wholeheartedly. Abby brings an attention to detail, positivity and respect for the family. She started on day one bringing developmental knowledge to the way she cares for our daughter., and introduces activities She was very communicative at all aspects. From scheduling, sharing her location when with our daughter and checking in on ideas for community enrichment activities. When our daughter was napping, Abby would help clean or tidy which was definitely not a requirement or even request. She showed such care and respect for our daughter and her development, I am thankful and recommend hiring her. Thank you Abby!

Elena was absolutely fabulous with our two kiddos! They immediately embraced her warm and welcoming attitude. She was wonderful at respecting and implementing house rules for the littles, energetically played with them throughout the day, and kept our place nice and tidy! It was wonderful to walk out of work (I work from home) to two happy kiddos! Definitely recommend Elena! ?

Pam has been helping us out with our 7yr old daughter multiple times a week for several months. Pam meets our daughter at the bus stop and ensures she gets home safely after school. Pam is always on time, very dependable and trustworthy. Pam knows how to interact with kids and meets them where they are at. We are super thankful for Pam and will continue to have her help us care for our daughter.

I have babysat for many friends and families over the past 7 years, before and after school, on weekends and consistently throughout the summer. I also worked in a daycare, part-time during high-school, interacting and taking care of children starting as young as 2 months old. I love going on adventures, playing sports, being outside, trying new & creative things, baking/ cooking as well as working together and using an imagination to have fun! I have enjoyed getting to know all of the families that I have been lucky enough to care for and I'm excited to get to meet new people and any animals/pets are a bonus! :) I am currently going to school in Portland for nursing, but looking for some occasional sitting within the area to fit in my schedule!

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending time outdoors, and sharing stories and songs with little ones.

I would be honored to support your family with childcare that combines responsibility, warmth, and genuine dedication.
