Find an emergency babysitter in Mountlake Terrace, WA

I have been a nanny for infants and toddlers for the past 3 years. Before this time, I worked as teacher's aide, after-school program teacher and administrative assistant. I have an Early Childcare Certificate, a current First Aid/CPR Certificate for Infants - Adults, Teaching English to Students of Other Languages (TESOL) Certificate, and Public Information degree. I care deeply about forming a strong bond with the children I care for and love introducing them to various experiences that build their awareness of themselves, others and the world around them. In addition, I believe in offering gentle guidance to children in a respectful, kind, instructive and even fun way. During my time with children, I do activities and engage with them in a way that sparks their curiosity, builds their knowledge and skills, follows their interests, helps them learn age-appropriate socio-emotional and communication skills. Based on several factors, I may use redirection, modeling what I want them to do or say, several reminders to reinforce behavior expectations such as washing hands after outside play and before meals, offering "first this, then that" or a choice of what to do first when both activities are required, advanced notice before transitioning to something else, and other age-appropriate caregiving practices. As a strong empath, I want to use my innate ability to connect with children (and all people) in a way that helps them feel understood, valued, worthy of kindness and attention, great for who they are JUST AS THEY ARE, and safe. I've found that I can't nurture children as deeply as I'd like and, in the case of very young children, to the degree I feel they need as they learn about themselves, others and their world.

I am married, a mother of four. A God fearing woman who is friendly and loves children, pets and seniors. I have a deep understanding and patience rooted in my values. I am currently working as Pre-k Teachers Assistant (4 years plus) in Shoreline School and as of now working in summer camp ages 3-12 years old. I preferred working close by my neighbor in Shoreline. I don't drive but can do public transportation or my husband can drive me to and from work.

Hi, I'm Victoria! I'm a mom to a 9-month-old son and have worked for a family helping care for their kids (now ages 3 and 5), whom I've helped care for since they were born. I've been the trusted go-to sitter in my circle for years. I babysat regularly throughout my twenties, all based on word of mouth to friends and new clients alike. I'm most in my element with newborns through age two, and happily watch children up to age 11. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs. I'd like to learn about your expectations and routines in your child's life. I'm CPR and first-aid certified, and I am up to date with all vaccines include 2026 flu and Covid boosters. If you are looking for weekday care, I would bring my son with me - a built in companion for your child! I'm available without him on evenings and weekends. I'd love to chat about what your family needs! I'd love to chat about what your family needs and see if we’re a good match!

Hi, I'm Nico! I have over 2 years of professional childcare experience, working with children aged 3 months to 10 years. I also come from a large family with many younger cousins that I have helped care for since I was young. Working in childcare has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I am truly passionate and excited about providing children with quality, compassionate, and fun care. In my free time, I make art with various mediums (jewelry/beads, drawing, sewing, crocheting, photography, and clay), playing video games, hiking and spending time with my 2 wonder kitties and my partner! I am looking forward to meeting you, and providing your family with the quality care you deserve!

Hi families! My name is Remi, and I am an enthusiastic childcare professional with over five years of experience.

Other relevant certifications include First Aid, Pediatric and Adult CPR US, and Food Handler Permit. I am deeply passionate about fostering diversity and creating inclusive, mindful environments for children.
