Find an after school nanny in La Center, WA

I’m looking for a nanny position where I can build a consistent, long-term relationship with a family and become a supportive, dependable presence in the home. I bring several years of both informal and professional, hands-on childcare experience, rooted in a lifelong foundation of caregiving. Raised in a family of female educators, I grew up surrounded by teaching, mentorship, and patience, and these values continue to shape how I care for children today. My background includes work as a private babysitter, part-time nanny, elementary after-school aide, church nursery assistant, and camp counselor. I also come from a large, close-knit family with 11 nieces and nephews, where I’ve played an active role in caregiving, including managing daily routines, preparing meals around dietary restrictions, supporting nap schedules, and guiding play across developmental stages. My experience has shaped me into a calm, responsible, and dependable presence. I’m best suited for families with up to three children, comfortable with pets, and currently focused on roles with toddlers and school-aged children rather than infant care. I value consistency, trust, and open communication, and aim to create a home environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow.

I have 5+ years of care experience prioritizing the comfort and safety of everyone I encounter—human or otherwise.. I understand that each individual has unique needs and personalities, and l can adapt to give people the care they deserve. I am confident in my ability to give top quality care. Some of my experience includes: - transportation reliability - 5+ years of experience in animal care (pet sitting + volunteer work) - 3+ years child care - 6+ months senior care - disablity training - behavioral needs training I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate to the needs of clients. I am happy to be there when you need me to be.

I am a patient, down-to-earth, and reliable individual who values punctuality and consistency. While I may be quiet at first, I am very attentive and caring once I get to know people. My childcare experience began at home helping care for my younger brother, who is now 8 years old. This early responsibility inspired me to pursue professional experience, and I volunteered at a daycare in my home country to deepen my understanding of child development. After that, I worked as an au pair in the United States for two years, where I gained hands-on experience supporting children and families in a structured environment. These experiences have strengthened my responsibility, adaptability, and genuine love for working with children. I am happy to tell you more about all that as soon as we connect!

Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’m thrilled to be pursuing my passion for working with children as a nanny. I’m 29, and my love for kids started when I was a teenager babysitting. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in childhood counseling. After taking a detour to become a stay-at-home mom for almost two years following the birth of my daughter, I’m now excited to return to my passion and continue on this fulfilling journey. When I returned back to the workforce, it was in the insurance industry as a licensed insurance producer in Oregon and Washington. Although I enjoy helping people protect what matters most, the challenges of Corporate and the changing world has made me reconsider my path. After five years, I’m eager to once again pursue my degree in childhood counseling while working in a role that aligns with my passions.
