Booked by 9 families in Indianola, WA

Hi! My name is Christine! I am a mental health counselor desiring to work part-time/per diem for nannying and babysitting. I currently live near Green Lake. I very much enjoy working with kids, exploring new places (especially outdoors!), playing games, crafting, and finding creative ways to have fun with kids. Most of my professional and volunteer experience has been working with kids, and I desire to continue to work with children in therapeutic settings in the future. I have worked in preschool and nannying settings for the past year and half, and prior have worked with children therapeutically in an inpatient psychiatric setting, day and overnight camps, and babysitting, mostly with infants through 12 year olds. In previous nannying and babysitting, I help with laundry, housekeeping, and meal and snack prep, and am open to doing that alongside child care as well. Personally, I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, decorating, cooking and baking, and spending time with friends. I very much appreciate you considering me to work with your family!

Wonderful with our daughters

Booked by 3 families in Indianola, WA

Hello! My name is Camilia, I've been working in childcare for 7+ years as a nanny, tutor, and camp counselor. I have worked with kids ages 4-13+ including children on the spectrum and with ADHD. I love to play with kids through arts and crafts, educational games, or outdoors activities. As a nanny, my responsibilities included meal prep, bath time, grocery shopping, morning/bedtime routine, homework help, and extracurricular activities.

Camilia was great with our 2 kids (5 and 3). Would definitely hire her again!

Booked by 1 family in Indianola, WA

Hello everyone! My name is Sarra, and I live in Greenwood, Seattle. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Public Health Global Health from the University of Washington (Go Huskies!). I’ve been working as a full-time community navigator. A significant part of my job involves interacting with families and kids to create fun activities and events. I am wanting to work as a babysitter a few times a week with families who need help after school, weekends or date night! I’m musically inclined and believe that music has the power to heal any wound. I’ve always loved children and was the most trusted family member to watch over my little cousins. I have experience working with toddlers, young children, and teenagers aged 3 to 17. I’ve also worked with children on the spectrum. In my experience, I engage children in activities they enjoy the most and provide them with ideas to explore. I go out of my way to find the best activities to keep them occupied, such as learning a new language (I’m multilingual and speak French and Arabic), writing, drawing, or painting. The activities can vary depending on the child’s interests and passions. Some children love reading sessions, while others prefer singing, coloring, and drawing with music on, or simply playing board games like puzzles and interactive Lego construction games! Exploring the outdoors is also a fun activity to do if interested! I can help with homework and tutoring in various subjects, including English, Math, STEM subjects, and many others. I’m also a great cook and make all sorts of sandwiches, meals, and quick snacks that your children will love! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I’d be more than happy to answer them for you.

Hi there- my name is Olivia and I’m currently active duty Navy stationed right here in Bremerton I am offering child care for all ages and household services. I love my day job but find myself missing what I had before the navy which was taking care of children. I am no stranger to all ages and I’m very flexible to fit the needs of you as busy families. I am the oldest of 20 children within my immediate family and have been taking care of children as long as I can remember. I am CPR certified, and am very reliable in emergency situations. I also work as a tutor for elementary students weekly. I look forward to meeting you!

Olivia is probably one of the best babysitters you could ever hire! My son loved spending time with her and was so sad when she had to go. We loved Olivia because of her willingness to understand our family values when taking the job so that she could tailor to our family's needs. She took such great care of our son, and gave us so many laughs about the times they shared before she left. We can't wait to hire her again! She honestly is the best!! ❤❤❤❤
