Beth $10 per hour for 1 child

I am a stay at home mom and I have 5 little ones of my own Jana 7, Mason 6, Weston 5, Cecilia 3 & Olivia 1.5. I enjoy seeing kids having fun and smiling! Enjoying the simple things in life! It would be appreciated if I could babysit at my house if at all possible with having 5 of my own. But my kids are friendly and love to interact with other kids. I am very outgoing, caring, loving, friendly, my house is already busy with kiddos and would love to help others in need of babysitters because I know how hard it can be to find your little one a place to be at during work hours or errands to run or even a date night or night out! Please consider me, just want your little one to be comfortable here and hopefully would enjoy running around with my kids as well! Also we have a dog named Snowball she is really sweet.

$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 12 families in Kalama, WA

I am originally from Tennessee. I am the a proud mom of a 9 year old daughter, a 24 year old daughter and a 30 year old son! I have spent the majority of my life caring for and raising up children. I have nannied consistently for one family for the last 9 years, ranging over the years from full time to part time. When I started there was only one child and now there are 3! I am a lover of humans, tiny humans, animals, nature, gardening, and books. I use a peaceful, loving approach to childcare and love to just be silly! I would love to hang out with your little ones...i enjoy snuggling, hugs, reading, make-believe, language development, arts & crafts and music & dance. I am also willing and available to negotiate rates for help with any aspect of home management: be it cooking, caring for pets, cleaning, laundry or organizing! I am also open and accepting of blended families ♡ I owned a cleaning business for 10 years in Nashville, before moving to Washington. I have enjoyed many lovely, constructive interpersonal relationships with my clients throughout the years. I greatly enjoy networking in my community and building meaningful long-lasting relationships. I can also be flexible with my rates, depending on your budget. Finding the right fit and building authentic relationships are my utmost priority. I'm available for a part time schedule and can be super flexible. I would love the option to integrate my 9 year old into our care arrangements, although not necessary. She is very personable & enjoys making friends of all ages. I can provide abundant contact information for character references or you can have a look at my LinkedIn profile, where several of my clients have left professional recommendations. I would love the opportunity to meet and greet with you and your kiddos! I look forward to the enrichment of each of our lives as we join journeys :)

Dawn is fantastic! We will definitely hire her again.
