Sittercity helps Mead families find the best nannies

Hi, my name is Mary and I am a mother of four grown children. I love working with children and helping them become the best they can be. I am a former triathlete and now have decided to slow things down a bit and help others. I started babysitting when I was just 12 years old and included housekeeping after the kids would go to bed to make life easier on parents. I firmly believe that there is more to babysitting than just sitting around as when the parents are gone children need guidence and care and to stay on schedule. I firmly believe that outdoor activities are important as a base for kids to expend energy and to have a healthy outlook away from the television and computer games. I know I can be an asset in helping you with your children and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Mary Higgins

Hi! My name is Amber Golding, and I’m 20 years old. I’ve had the joy of working with children for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom ran a daycare out of our home, and I was hands-on in helping her care for kids of all ages. That early experience sparked my love for childcare and laid the foundation for my future in the field. Since then, I’ve gained formal experience in professional daycare settings, with a focus on infants and toddlers. I’ve had the opportunity to work at two daycare centers, where I supported children's development through play, learning, and nurturing routines. Becoming a nanny isn’t just a job for me — it’s truly a dream come true. I’m patient, dependable, and enthusiastic about creating a safe, caring environment where children can thrive. I’m excited to bring my energy, experience, and heart to a family that values kindness, growth, and a little fun along the way!

Hey there, I'm Crystal, a 24 year old female who recently was employed as an assistant teacher in early childhood education for 4 years where I obtained my food handlers, CPR AED, and other certifications and training. I left the school district due to moving for a job opportunity. I have also baby sat and nannied for many different families over the past few years. I am working around my current part time job schedule. I have a drivers license and clean record as well as my own car. I would prefer to meet in person prior to babysitting or nannying just to make sure it is a safe situation, as well as allowing me to learn all rules and safety precautions prior to caring for your child(ren).

I am a rising sophomore studying philosophy, theology, and outdoor leadership at Wyoming Catholic College looking for part-time summer employment, around 30hrs/week, until August 4th. I am very creative, patient, and have a friendly demeanor thus making me easy to get along with. Although I only have a year of formal childcare experience, I choose to continue in it because I greatly value the upbringing of children. I want to create a loving, secure, fun, and healthy environment for children to thrive in.

My name is Hailey and I‘m 30 years old. I relocated to Spokane from Tri-Cities to be closer to family about 6 years ago now. I have 10 years of experience working in childcare through previous nanny jobs, working in the infant room at KinderCare, as well as working as an assistant teacher at Children's Garden Montessori school. I have cared for children of all ages ranging from infant to pre teen through my previous jobs. I currently work night shifts a few nights a week at Sunshine Health Facilities. In 2017 received my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education through Columbia Community College. I have stayed up to date on my CPR and first aid certification when I received my nurse aid certification last year. I have 3 great references I can send you. I hope you will consider me when you are looking for care for your family!

My name is Sierra. I absolutely love making the kiddos happy by engaging them in age appropriate activities. I am a quick learner. I’ve been certified in child care for 6 years now. I also have my 5 year old daughter who comes with for most day time work, if you’re needing night time, date nights or weekends I can most likely leave her at home. She is amazing with all ages and absolutely adores the babies. I was the twos lead teacher and then quickly moved to manager at a daycare center for a year and have tons of experience with all ages (0-13). I have a clean driving record if pickup/drop off is what you need. I’m an animal lover. I’m also a clean freak so feel free to leave those pesky dishes in the sink!

Hello! I have 7+ years working with and caring for children of all ages. I love to spend time with kids and do activities they enjoy. I am able to care for any age and all needs. I’m a CNA and a certified behavior tech. I have licenses for BLS/CPR and first aid. My schedule varies throughout the week currently because I work in home health and make my schedule everyday, so please ignore my availability and if you have questions please feel free to talk to me and we can work something out hopefully!

My name is Rachel and I am 27 years old. I am the oldest of four siblings and Igrew up being their built in babysitter which is where my childcare experience started. I’ve always enjoyed working with children as it’s such a fulfilling job to watch them grow and see how you took part in their development. At age 16 and 17 I held a job as a referee for children’s sports during two summers from a range of ages (3 - 14 years). I also volunteered at my church’s ‘Vacation Bible School’ during the summer. I moved away from working with kids for a long while after that, aside from babysitting children of family members’ here and there. I mainly held jobs in customer service until August 2023 when I began working at Lilac City Early Learning Center in Spokane. During this time I underwent a background check + fingerprinting, renewed my cpr + first aid certification, took a 30hr STARS training course, received a blood borne pathogens certification, went through several conscious discipline modules and obtained a ton of hands on experience with ages ranging from infants to five year olds. We practiced conscious discipline at the center and I found it to be very aligned with my view of kids and how I want to parent my own daughter. I believe kids need help working through their emotions and to find constructive ways to do that. Working at the center gave me a lot of ideas for redirecting children towards better choices when experiencing big emotions. I went on maternity leave mid December and returned to the center in May 2023. My partner and I relocated to Shoreline at the beginning of June, thus I quit working at the center and began working for families as their nanny/occasional babysitter. Since June I have worked for two families full time and several families doing more occasional/backup care. Now my daughter is 11mo. I am very familiar with watching multiple children at one time since the classrooms at Lilac City would have anywhere between 4-10 children per teacher depending on the age group. I am looking forward to connecting with you and your children.

Hello! My name is Ireland Sutton and I just recently moved to the Spokane area after finishing my contract with the U.S. Army! Before joining the service, I spent my pre-teen and teenage years taking care of little ones (ages 2 months-11 years) through both full and part-time nanny positions. I recently resigned from working at Sacred Heart Medical Center as a caregiver, and am both CPR and BLS certified. I find my passion in providing the absolute best care I can through attentiveness, empathy, and compassion. I feel qualified as a nanny not only because of experience, but because I genuinely care about my work. I strive to provide and encourage a positive environment wherever I am placed.
