Shalyn Port Orchard
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Shalyn! I’m a psychology major at CWU and am getting my degree through their online program so my schedule is very flexible. My dream job is an elementary school counselor. I am offering childcare, pet care, help with household needs and running errands. I have a car and a spotless driving record. I am wilderness first responder certified, which includes emergency first aid, rescue training and CPR a certification. I am the oldest kid of my parents friend group and the oldest grandchild so I have been watching after my younger sister, cousins and neighbors most of my life, but I have officially started babysitting (aka getting paid) since I was 14. I have worked with kids from ages 2 to 12. I have experience with potty training, changing diapers and children with allergies. I also have experience with working with kids with additional needs. I am knowledgeable and capable of creating fun craft projects and educational activities suitable for ages 2 to 12. My family has had dogs and cats my entire life and I’m extremely comfortable around them and love them a bunch. I am also comfortable around any other animal. I have experience cleaning and generally upkeep of a house. I also have a lot of experience cooking and baking and I have been told that I am very good.

Sherise Port Orchard
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a responsible college student that is looking for a part time job with some cool kids, pups, and cats :). I’ve worked at my mom’s daycare for two years with kids ages 2-7 at the same time, and loved it! I love kids and had even taught my little brother how to read his first book by reading him his favorite story every night until he read along! I was a also a trained life guard with CPR training and was very active in my high school swim team (taught my little brother how to swim too!). I love reading kids their books they bring and watching their favorite shows and movies. Snack and play time are one of my favorite parts of the day, fueling them then getting all their energy out with exercise and fun games. I have experience working in an assisted living home as a dietary aide (and an occasional dog walker to my favorite resident)…preparing and serving food as well as having a food handlers permit. I have plenty experience with cats and dogs (I own two of both!) and am eager to learn your routine with your fur friends!

Hi there my name is Kim and I live in West Seattle area. I am currently a Kindergarten teacher in the Renton School District. I have BA of Interdisciplinary Studies, a MA in Education and teaching certificates for the states of TX, CA and Washington. I relocated to Seattle from Texas where I taught Pre Kindergarten in a public school as a certified teacher for 5 years. I also taught PreK in California and worked at various schools in Orange County, California as a substitute teacher. Other experience includes Kinder Care preschool teacher where I worked with 2 year olds and infants, and part time babysitting over the years for families with kiddos of all ages especially infants. As a certified teacher I have many hours of training and experience using positive discipline focused on redirection and respecting relationships. I have many fur babies myself so pets are a plus. I look forward to meeting you.

Booked by 4 families in South Colby, WA

Hi!, I’m Maryam, and I have over five years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. My mother owns a daycare center, where I have spent years helping and building strong skills in childcare, from infants to school aged kids. These experiences have given me a deep passion for creating safe, loving, and engaging environments for children to learn and grow. I am a caring, energetic, and patient person who loves being active and creative with kids whether that means playing games, helping with schoolwork, or encouraging them through arts, crafts, and outdoor activities. I take pride in nurturing children while also supporting their development and independence. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with light housework, organizing, and running errands. I am also trained in CPR and first aid, ensuring I can respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations. My love for children goes beyond caregiving I truly enjoy being part of their growth journey and forming positive, trusting relationships with families. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills, experience, and passion for childcare into a supportive and nurturing home environment.

Maryam has been an amazing sitter for my daughter. She's extremely reliable, communicates often and clearly, and my daughter loves playing with her. Absolutely would recommend.
