Hi there! My name is Margie and I've just moved to Bellingham. I have over eight years of childcare experience and excited to have more! For six years I was the lead counselor on a community farm in Portland, OR, for ages 5 to 12. We would play games in the garden, put on puppet shows, learn about wildlife, all while staying safe and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. I also enjoyed being a teacher for cooking classes where we'd cook yummy, kid-friendly meals with ingredients the kids harvested. I recently worked with the Corvallis Environmental Center and local elementary schools with farm and ecology based curriculum. If you couldn't tell, I am very passionate about our planet and love teaching little ones the importance of care and kindness for it. On top of that, I'm known to be bubbly, patient, observant, and understand the craziness kids can bring to our lives. I am Red Cross First Aid/CPR certified, have a car, and am great at cooking and keeping spaces tidy. I love taking children on nature walks, craft making, and telling stories. I have the most experience with kids ages 5 to 13, but have plenty of babysitting experience with ages 6 months- 4 year olds. Excited to help out your family! -Margie

I have been around kids my whole life and love watching them learn and grow.

I speak english and spanish and would love to have the opportunity to teach your kids spanish! I’m excited to share my passion, and positive attitude to Bellingham families.

I am a nurturing loving mother, auntie, godmother. I love children of all ages. I believe each age has its own special milestones. My first job as a 15 year old was at a daycare. I worked there for 3 years and enjoyed it so much. Later in years I moved to Washington and was a nanny for twin babies. This was such a fulfilling and fun job. I will bring much love, affection and fun to your little ones 💛

Hello! My name is Mary Caitlin A. I have over 20 years of working with children and families. I have worked as a nanny for over 15 years with various families. I have 10 years of experience being a preschool teacher and early learning educator. I earned my BA in Therapeutic Recreation from Western Washington University.

I'm an elementary education major at WWU starting my student teaching internship next fall. I love caring for and teaching children, and I have experience with a variety of different ages. I've had opportunities caring for younger relatives, volunteering for boys and girls clubs, and mentoring children individually or in small groups. Some activities I especially enjoy doing with children are playing games, doing puzzles, doing crafts, drawing or painting, and playing outside! I think safety and collaborating with parents are the most important aspects of being a sitter! I recently renewed my CPR and First Aid certification for adults and children.

Hi! I have been babysitting and nannying for almost 10 years now! I love kids of all ages. I love to play outside or do arts and crafts. I also am an animal person and comfortable with any pets. :) looking forward to being a helpful addition to your family!

I have been working with children for close to three years. When I first started I was with infants and then I worked my way through different ages, learning the unique care of each group. Working with familes and children to reach a common goal has taught me so many things and brought so much joy into everyday life. Every child is unique and getting to support their learning style and see them thrive is one of the best parts of what I do. I have a certificate of proficiency in ECE and for infants and toddlers from WCC and I’m planning to work towards my AA in Early childhood education!

My name is melody, I’m fully vaccinated, & first aid & CPR certified. I have over 9 years of professional experience as a household manager/nanny, & a daughter of my own who is now 5 years old. I’m very organized & skilled at running a household, and anticipating child/family needs. I have extensive experience with neurodivergent children, infants, and preschool age-children. After practicing gentle/respectful parenting over these last few years, and getting certified as a behavioral therapist, I feel even more qualified than before to work with children. I love incorporating montessori methods in my care to help foster independence and confidence in children. I have nannied for many different age groups, & have cared for as many as three kids in one household before. My approach to working with children is an evidence-based, gentle and respectful one, in hopes of helping raise happy & competent children. The four main elements to this are respect, empathy, understanding, & boundaries. This focuses on fostering the qualities you want in your child by being compassionate, & maintaining and enforcing consistent boundaries. When dealing with big feelings, I find it important to first connect & empathize with the child in order to not only effectively teach empathy, but also that their feelings are valid, even though sometimes their actions are not. I turn “misbehavior” into a teaching moment for the child. We work to move from a no, to a yes. I try to focus on what they CAN do, as opposed to what they can’t do. I am vocally trained & did musical theater and tennis throughout my life. I love painting, and I come from a family of Italian and Lebanese chefs and have been cooking my entire life. Im willing to help with children’s laundry, grocery shopping, errands, meal prep, dinners, potty or sleep training, etc. I have experience in caring for newborns, baby led weaning, teaching phonics & other pre school aged skills, as well as teaching emotional regulation skills. I enjoy coming up with creative activities to help kids learn through play & to foster creativity. I also think sensory play is very important for various developmental reasons. I am available to work m-f and determine my pay rate based on duties of the job description, extent of care I'm providing, & the amount of children I'm looking after. I look forward to hearing how I can help your family!
