Find experienced nannies in Cottage Lake, WA

* 23 years old. * 8 years experience. I’ve shaped my nannying career around my upbringing. As an eldest sibling of 5 and eldest cousin of 20, I’ve always prided myself as a role model and caretaker of children. At 12 years old I started babysitting, and at 15 I started professionally nannying, giving me 8 years of professional experience, specializing in infant/toddler care. (I now take my 15 month old son to my nanny bookings.) Through positive reinforcement, encouraging authenticity, and providing a safe space for children, physically and emotionally, children thrive in my care. I stay emotionally grounded for children to experience the full range of their emotions. Being the the true adventure guide, I always inspire children to explore their curiosity. Being in a large urban area, I understand how important it is to do that in a safe manner. Staying aware of our surroundings at all times, I consistently uphold methods of safety awareness and take pleasure in teaching children how we do that as a team. My favorite activity to do with children is explore outside! All in all, It’s important to me to teach children how to have self responsibility, manners, and accountability through leading by example. By empowering them through everyday tasks completed together and teaching them practical life skills, their confidence grows day by day. I look forward to growing with you and your family!

I have 10 years of babysitter and nanny experience working with kids. I am patient, interact well with children and am also dedicated to the well upbringing and safety of children. Personally I've raised two girls of my own and is currently an empty nester. Now that I'm no longer a full time mom, I'm taking on some part time jobs assisting other busy parents. I'm also comfortable being around pets. My family moved to WA 23 years ago and I turned a full time mom out of choice. During those years I had the joy of caring for my kids and volunteered as a teacher helper when my younger child started elementary school, helping other children in school with reading and art projects. I taught elementary Singapore Mathematics and substituted for challenged students English classes on Saturdays with Northwest Chinese School when my daughters were attending Chinese lessons there for 3-4 years. Also privately tutored some Taiwanese kids and assisted non-fluent English speakers in the library ESL classes over the years. I believe with proper nurturing and providing children with early learning opportunity can enhance positive child development. I highly value quality education. I am good at reading books to kids and enjoy singing children's songs and rhymes with them. I am great at telling time-tested and children-proved stories. I am good at teaching and making art and craft projects. Also able to handle making healthy kids meals and cleaning after kids with ease. Since the past years to date I have been working part time and occasionally for families with kids ranging from 0 months to 12 years old. I have experience with baby and toddler care. I am currently available for date nights and weekends babysitting. Any other details beyond, I'll be glad to divulge during an interview. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi! I’m Rafaella — a caring, reliable, and experienced sitter with over 6 years of childcare experience. I truly love working with children and feel honored to be a part of their development and everyday moments. My journey started in Brazil, where I worked at a daycare and volunteered with 4–5-year-olds at my church. I later spent 2 years as an au pair in the U.S., caring for children ranging from 6 months to 8 years old. Those years helped me build strong skills in nurturing routines, supporting milestones, and creating a safe, fun environment for kids to grow. Currently, I’m working with a family caring for their sweet baby — I started when he was just 5 months old, and now he’s a happy, active 1-year-old! I’m experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-age kids, and I always bring patience, creativity, and responsibility to every family I work with. Whether it’s reading stories, planning activities, or helping with naps and meals, I’m here to support your child’s needs with love and care. Looking forward to connecting with your family!
