Sittercity helps Newcastle families find the best nannies

Hello families! My name is Daikwan (however, I do go by Ryan). I am currently employed through Bellevue School District working as an educator for 3rd and 4th grade students. My prior experience working with children include working as a TA in a middle and elementary school setting, summer camp/after-school educator, and 2 years of prior nanny/babysitter experience as well. I have been in the Seattle area for about 1 year and 3 months currently and I have loved every second of the being in the PNW. Originally from the east coast, I started my chapter in Washington last September to embrace a fresh start, establish and develop new connections, and to work towards completing my last year of nursing school.

Hi there! My name is Delaney. Thanks so much for visiting my profile. I’d love to share a little bit about myself. I recently graduated with my Bachelors in Public Health from University of Washington. I currently work as a preschool teacher at a play-based forest school that is child-led and fully outdoors. I have several years of experience as a nanny and babysitter and plan to further my education in Early Childhood Development. I firmly believe that each child deserves to feel safe and deeply cherished. I believe in play, especially in outdoor spaces, as one of the best places for children to build nourishing and sustainable connections with themselves, other children, and the environment around them. I firmly believe in fostering an environment where children feel empowered, trusted, and seen. My childcare philosophies center around mutual respect and understanding through processes that encourage flexible thinking and decision making, rather than judgement, shame, or punishment. I am creative, compassionate, energetic, and warm. I’m engaged and will actively encourage and facilitate games, crafts, and adventures. My goal is to sustain the magic of childhood during such a critical part of each child’s life. As a person and as a childcare provider, I deeply value curiosity, compassion, and reciprocity. I hope to be a person that your child and family finds trust and support in. Please let me know if it sounds like our values align and I could be a good fit for your needs!

Hello Everyone, My name is Karen. I just completed my 11th year of teaching Special Education teacher for the NYC Board of Education. The last 4 of the 12 years I taught Art specifically 🎨. I worked primarily with students diagnosed with Autism but have experience babysitting/tutoring/nanny-ing children of all ages and abilities ranging from 1 to 16 years of age. I've taken a little pause on teaching this year to explore some exciting creative endeavors, as well as go on a fun adventure to the West Coast! However, I would still love the opportunity to work with children in some capacity 😊 I would describe myself as a very loving person, honest, kind, I am a huge animal, passionate about loving our planet, and above all a big kid who likes to be goofy and fun. Please reach out with any questions you may have! Hope to speak with you soon. Warmly, Karen

We moved from Austin, Texas, to Bellevue, WA, on June 14, 2023. We love it here. About my background: I home-schooled my children leading to their acceptance into Rhode Island School of Design (full scholarship,) Columbia University and Princeton University. Subsequently, I obtained my bachelor's, master's and PhD degrees in political science, the latter degree at the age of 55. Starting in 2017, I made 17 trips around the country to serve as a sitter educator for my granddaughter. After that I was a nanny educator in Austin, Texas, for her brother. Occasionally I managed care and education for both brother and sister, together. We moved to Bellevue Washington in June of 2023 to continue part-time care for the two grandchildren. Since then, I am working also for other families as a nanny educator and enjoy all age groups. My work includes educating children of all abilities as well as taking care of basics, such as hygiene, meal preparation and story-telling. Through all of my childcare services, I encourage children to develop self-motivation.

I am a mother of 4, my youngest graduates from Univ of Wa. In june. I am a retired nurse and I have been working as a nanny for 8 years. I have been caring for twins as well as special needs children. I have a lot of first aid and cpr experience, both professionally and personally!

Hi I’m a UCSB graduate with a biology degree and i’ve worked in health care for years now (medical assistant, EEG tech, NICU/Birthing Center volunteer)! This has given me opportunities to further develop my attunement skills to others’ needs! I’m an older sister of 2 brothers, so naturally i’ve always grown up looking after them! My babysitting approach can be described as fun, gentle, and friendly. I’ve learned lots about attachment styles since being a part of a kid’s growing up experience is very special to me. I have experience working with newborns to middle schoolers! *unfortunately I am allergic to dogs and am not able to accept jobs with dogs in the home

I wanted to become a babysitter because I enjoy working with children’s and I find it rewarding to be able to provide care and being present in there life and support for families who need help. I also like the flexibility and variety that comes with babysitting, as every day is different and presents new challenges and opportunities for learning and growth.
