Find experienced nannies in Custer, WA

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 also have volunteered in a childcare program for infants and toddlers of teen parents at Squalicum High School. I have taken care of infants and children in their homes.

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!
