I am CPR certified Experience with dogs and cats Experience with grade school kids I enjoy helping people and intend to make a career in healthcare. I started a degree bachelor’s degree in psychology and intend on going into early developmental psychology. My sister and I grew up 9 years apart and I spent much of my younger years baby sitting. At 13, we all lived with my grandmother, uncles and nephews. Which meant we all went to the same school and I walked with them everyday and watched until someone was home My mother used to run a daycare out of our home when I was 15 and I spent a lot of time around the kids. After high school I did an electrical internship for some time and have experience with household assistance. Experience cooking with instructions.

Hi! I’m Lyndsay and I have been working in child care for the past fifteen years. I now have my own children, 6 year old boy and in first grade and a 2 year old girl who is my little sidekick. I am offering part time childcare. I have experience with all age groups! Before I became a mom, I was a nanny full time and even after that I continued doing a nanny share. That is also what I am hoping to find here! Things I love to do with kids both big and small are playing outside, doing art projects, gym classes, imaginative play and exploring new playgrounds.

As a mom myself, I know first hand how difficult (and overwhelming at times) it was to find a trusting babysitter or nanny for my boys when they were younger. The way I see it, there is no greater job than being a parent. And when you have to make it to your job and can't be "there" for your children, you want to make sure they are in the right hands. That's where I come in, to offer you the peace of mind that your child will be safe, well cared for, nurtured and encouraged to thrive. I have a long experience with child care, from newborn to school age teenagers. I have a Bachelors in Education Sciences, with emphasis in Child Development. I am current on CPR, AED and First Aid training, and I am certified in Defensive Driving. I am also a Washington state Certified Specialized Para-Educator working with my school district in the mornings during the school year. If you're reading this message it’s because you're in need of someone you can trust your child with. So, send me a message and I will respond promptly.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ilda! She was always punctual—often arriving a little early each day, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment she met our baby, it was clear she had a natural gift with children. Our little one instantly connected with her and was so happy and comfortable in her care. What really stood out was not only her warmth and patience, but also her depth of experience. She shared thoughtful insights about our baby’s development and what to expect in the coming months, which was incredibly helpful for us as new parents. It felt like she wasn’t just providing care, but also partnering with us in understanding our child’s growth. We feel so lucky to have found Ilda and would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, insightful, and experienced caregiver.

Hi - My name is Christina, I’m 30 years old and I'm currently in school to get a degree in Public Health. Once I complete my degree, I would love to have the title, “child and maternal health advocate”! I started working in child care 10 years ago as a lead teacher in a toddler classroom at a daycare. After a few years there, I moved on to becoming a nanny. I’ve been a nanny to two amazing families since 2016. Im thankful to have held long term positions. While my work week is filled with my current position, I do enjoy babysitting on the side. Im open to one time and occasional babysitting depending on the families needs. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since was 18 years old. My responsibilities as a babysitter have included bed time routines, prepping meals, cleaning up as well as entertaining the children. Naturally, I have a calm demeanor and a nurturing personality. I believe it goes hand in hand while being a caretaker. Although I am unavailable for for a full/part time position, I am open for date nights and such! Please feel free to contact I me. I can also provide my resume. *updated Aug. 2023

We hired Christina to take care of our 3 year old daughter for the afternoon/evening. She did a wonderful job with Eliana in engaging her, taking her to play at the park, and making sure she got all the steps to her bedtime routine done--always a challenge. She quickly noticed and cleaned up when our daughter almost started painting the wall while I was showing Christina around right after she arrived. She also cleaned up after our daughter had a potty accident. Christina was very professional, arrived early, and has a very calm, patient, and thoughtful demeanor. We highly recommend her to other families, and hope to have the opportunity to hire her again.
