Find experienced nannies in Port Orchard, WA

I have been babysitting ever since I was 12 years old. I wanted to give back for all the years that I had been taken care of. I took a specific course to become a babysitter and started to babysit my neighbors. I had heard about a course specifically for babysitting, so I took it. After that I was good to go to babysit the whole neighborhood. It worked out perfectly while I attended UC Davis. I graduated with two degrees in Dramatic Art and Design, and two minors in Chicano Studies and Education. I love to teach it and create new things. I am also a Spanish native speaker. I was born in a town near Mexico City. I am very interested in teaching kids what I have learned and also try to have fun with them. Every time I babysit I like to teach the kids something new. Currently, I am a pre-K teacher. I am loving, fun, and entertaining to be around. Teaching kiddos is my passion. It’s the beginning of a new beginning in education. Please ask what my availability is for the summer! Gracias

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

Hi- My name is Dylan! I enjoy partnering with parents to ensure children receive the nurturing, consistency, care, and fun they need. I am a kid at heart and love to get down on the floor (or up in a play structure) to play with kids, encouraging their imagination, doing age appropriate science and art projects, adventuring outdoors, and facilitating their brain development through play, reading, and singing. It is important to me to model empathy, respect, and acceptance with the goal of empowering children to solve problems. Additionally, I am very skilled at multi-tasking and time management to ensure the safety and well being of all children in my care. Biggest strength: I give kids the attention they deserve! I am regularly referred to by parents as the 'kid whisperer' or 'Pied Piper.' While some believe I have magical powers (especially toddlers!), in truth, I am simply present and attuned to their needs and wants, through the laughter and tears. Experience: I have over 15 years experience as a babysitter and nanny for children birth to 17 years of age, providing care for up to 5 children at a time both in the family's home and traveling. The majority of my experience is with infants and toddlers. I have volunteered as a child care provider for Pinay sa Seattle, co-facilitating a childcare group during meetings and events for up to 8 children ages 8 months-7 years. Additionally, I have experience as a birth and postpartum doula. I have worked with single parent and blended families, have experience with twins, triplets, ADD/ADHD, autism, food allergies, trauma, and preemie infant health issues. Education: BA in Liberal Arts: Leadership & Human Services, Antioch University - Seattle, 2014 Somatics Practitioner Training, Generative Somatics, 2018 Embodied Social Justice Certificate, The Embody Lab, 2022 Newborn Care Specialist, DNT Network, 2025 Infant Sleep Consultant, DNT Network, 2025 Infant/Child CPR/First Aid, renewed 12/25 COVID/Flu boosters, Fall 2025 TDap, current Work History: 8+ years in social work directly supporting homeless youth and adults living with mental illness, substance use disorder, and disabilities

Hi, my name is Bahia, I am 34 years old and I have my master's degree in marriage, family, and child counseling. For the past 7 years I have been a nanny, splitting my time between multiple families, almost all of whom have had at least two children ranging from 3 months old to 7 years old. Before nannying I worked at an autism center for 5 years, first as a behavior therapist, and eventually as a clinical supervisor. At this job I worked one on one with children ranging from 18 months of age to 15 years old. At this job I was trained in methods of language development and behavior management. While working at the autism center and completing my master’s degree I also interned as a marriage and family therapist trainee for two years, and approximately half of my caseload consisted of children. I occasionally babysat while in high school and as an undergrad. I have also been a very involved aunt to a now 14-year-old girl and 12-year old twins. Saving my best experience for last, I am the proud mama to a sweet boy who was born in March 2021. I am currently looking for a part time job that I can bring my son to, or date night/weekend jobs when I can leave my son with his dad if needed. I have been bringing my son to work with ume since he was 6 months old, so he is very used to it. I will not favor my child while on the job, I see this as a great way to teach him to share toys and attention with other children. I hope that my extensive knowledge and experience with children will make me the right fit for your family.

Experienced nanny with a high-focus on building healthy attachment styles by creating a predictable environment, guiding emotional and mental development. While I do incorporate a lot of learning into our play from neuroscience books I've read, I prefer to keep it fluid and still allow the child to be a child. I follow a Montessori approach, so I don't feel comfortable forcing learning or being rigid with the methods. Particularly with toddlers, I allow them to take the lead through their interests to develop their independence and need for autotomy. This empowers them to manage nonnegotiable rules and boundaries with less meltdowns; in other words, we're building the foundational skills for compromising. WFH Families Unfortunately, I am not a good fit for this environment I have worked with lovely families and even then, found my introverted temperament type gets exhausted integrating into the nuances of a family dynamic.

Hi, I'm Sophia! Working with kids has always been a passion of mine. My journey began in middle school, volunteering at my elementary school and leading camps and lessons in Girl Scouts, which quickly led to extensive babysitting and nannying experience. I'm well-prepared for any situation, having completed multiple first aid and babysitting courses, and I've successfully applied this knowledge in real emergencies. My eight years in Girl Scouts, leadership roles in extracurriculars, and my experience caring for both children and pets have equipped me with strong responsibility and adaptability. I have worked with a wide range of kids including kids with neurodivergencies, argumentative siblings, sensory processing disorder, ARFID, and extremely anxious kids. I'm confident I could be a wonderful fit for your family! (The only day I consistently can't work is Saturdays)

Hi - I’m Jalyssa and I can’t wait to meet you and your family :) A little bit about me – raised in the Kent area. I love to cook, paint, sing/dance, even though I’m not the best at it lol My friends and family would describe me as outgoing, adventurous and youthful, which is a great trait for working with the little ones !! Ive been a nanny for about a 4yrs and baby sat for as long as I can remember. Children have always been my passion, I’m a nurturer by default and I wouldn’t change that for anything in the world :) I am certified as a Labor Doula with CPR/First Aid certification to compliment. Looking forward to meeting new families!! Thank you :)

Hwllo! My name is Valerie. I’ve been caring for little ones since I was 13 in my family’s church nursery, and for the past four years I’ve connected with amazing families through Sittercity. Now as a mom to my sweet 7-month-old, I understand firsthand the love, patience, and attention children need at every stage. I’m available during the day, including weekends, and I happily care for kiddos ages 4 months to 13 years. While I don’t offer overnight or sick care, I provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can feel right at home. I especially love taking kids outside for fresh air, baking tasty treats together, and getting creative with crafts
