Find a babysitter in Granite Falls, WA

I grew up in an in-home childcare that my mother ran for about 12 years. I have four younger siblings as well. I started babysitting at 15 for the neighbors and by the time I was 19 I was doing overnights with a 3 month old baby girl, a two year old and ten year old. It was a lot but we did it! I’ve had a few other families over the years but it’s been some time as I am now a hairstylist and have worked in restaurants for the last 10-13 years. I am currently 37 years old and have my own 10 month old little boy who will be with me most of the time. He’s a very good, smart little guy and loves big kids. He has lots of older cousins he loves to play with. If you’re worried about it being too much for me to handle, please don’t. I am with him all day every day, we like to go outside and do things if you are comfortable with that. I am great with children.

I have always babysat and loved it. I mostly did family friends and neighbors but had work with people that I just met, too. I am too soft for my own good. It is good for the kids though. I have done services ranging from babysitting to cleaning houses. I always do my best to ensure a good experience to the one I’m caring for. I do love babies specifically and hope to get more experience with newborns.

In addition to being a mother, I have enjoyed working as a Preschool teacher, Pre-K & Kindergarten Assistant, After-school Lead Teacher, Postpartum Doula, Mother’s Helper, Nanny for 7 families, Job Coach for disabled young adults, on-on-one Behavioral Tech for Autistic students, CNA for elderly and disabled adults, & a Tutor. In addition, I have experience working as a Household Manager, Real Estate Assistant, (including Event Planning and Execution/managing vendors and sponsors) Housecleaner, Professional Organizer & Home Stager, Floral Designer for weddings and events, as well as a Portrait and Real Estate Photographer.

Hii, I’m Dayana! I’m a caring, responsible, and reliable person who loves spending time with kids. Im taking care of young children, 3 and 4 years old, and I really enjoy playing with them, doing fun activities, going outside, and keeping them happy. I speak Spanish, Ukrainian and English. I would also be very happy to work with families with dogs and cats! I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, and weekends.

I am a kind, loving, patient, and attentive caregiver with a genuine passion for play and connection. Over the past 20 years, I have gained extensive hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, always adapting my approach to meet each child’s unique personality and developmental stage. My background includes meaningful experience working with children with special needs, where patience, empathy, and consistency have allowed me to build trust and support their individual growth. I also bring specialized experience teaching children to swim, combining safety-focused instruction with encouragement to help kids build confidence in the water while having fun. I believe that play is one of the most powerful tools for learning, bonding, and emotional development, and I strive to create a nurturing, engaging environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to explore. Whether it’s through games, creative activities, or one-on-one attention, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable care that families can trust. I’m comfortable and familiar around pets and I’m willing to do personal assistant tasks, such as grocery shopping, dishes, children’s cleanup, etc.
