Brittney $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Britt, and I'm a kind and reliable caregiver based in Everett, Washington. I have 10 years of childcare experience, including 6 years as a full-time nanny and household manager to a family with 3 children. I bring with me a range of experience, caring for newborns through age 16. I offer live-out nanny/sitter services on an occasional basis. My goal is to establish relationships with a few local families who need a trusted person as-needed, or as a backup in a pinch. My experience will bring you peace of mind that your kiddos are in caring hands. I strive to help parents by providing a safe and playful space for their kiddos, ensuring needs are met. I understand that each child is a unique individual who needs to be met where they are at. I have experience with children who are highly sensitive, have ADHD, and high-functioning autism. I am CPR and first-aid certified, and have experience in crisis prevention and intervention. Whether its reading stories, making art, exploring the outdoors, building with Legos, or snuggling up for a movie, I am enthusiastic and ready to engage in whatever ways your child enjoys. I love implementing creative activities and encourage curiosity through play and hands-on learning. If you need a dependable, trustworthy caregiver, feel free to message me. I would love to discuss your needs and the way I can help your family.

Sara $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Stanwood, WA

Hi! I'm Sara, a mom with over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to 18-year-olds. I offer babysitting, errand-running, and house-sitting services, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids. In my free time, I love working out, swimming, reading my Bible, and going for walks. I also have more than 10 years of experience in healthcare and have received CPR training multiple times. Caring for children has always been a passion of mine, as I find joy in nurturing their curiosity and watching them grow. My experience ranges from babysitting for family and friends to volunteering in community programs, where I learned the importance of patience and creativity in engaging young minds. As a parent myself, I have a deeper appreciation for the challenges and rewards of raising a child. This personal journey has only strengthened my commitment to providing a supportive and loving environment for all children in my care, fostering their development and helping them flourish.

Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Stanwood, WA

I grew up in a big family, and from a young age I was able to gain experience in child care. It would later be something that I really enjoy and continue to want to do. I’ve generally worked with toddlers and younger kids but I love kids of all ages. I love taking them outside to play in the sun or creating art indoors. In my free time I like to read, workout, and spend time with family and friends. I mostly have availability during the weekends and some occasional week nights

My 2.5 yo had a great time with Grace! I would definitely love to have her back!
