**My schedule is full at the moment** Hello! My name is Kimberly. I have raised 4 boys who are mostly out of the house, so I have a little free time to help others. I am transitioning from full-time mothering to working outside the home, and just completed clinicals as a nursing assistant. I plan to apply to nursing school in the next year, and I'm hoping to gain some experience as a pediatric Nursing Assistant - Certified before I apply. I have a BS in Health Education and a MPH in International Health. I speak conversational Spanish, and formerly taught piano lessons. I am looking for a hours on Fridays, or possibly Saturdays. Besides assisting with diaper changes, feeding, dressing, bathing, oral hygiene and wheelchair transfers, I can help with homework, house cleaning, rides to activities, simple meal prep, and just playing with kids inside or out! I'm use to looking after cats and a black lab, so I can help with pet care as well. I'm a good organizer if you need help with that too!

Kimberly did a wonderful job taking care of our four year old. She came up with games to entertain her, made origami with her, and was good at conversing with her. She was very professional and even did extra tidying up while she was here. We would definitely recommend her to other parents, and hope we can have her back to take care of our daughter another time.

Hi there! My name is Anya and I’ll be moving to Port Townsend in May. I would love to find a part time nannying/babysitting position! I’ve had a love for teaching children since I was 16, when I first started babysitting. Since then I’ve had many jobs in the field; Outdoor Ed Teacher, Summer Camp Counselor, Associate Toddler Teacher, Waldorf Kindergarten & Elementary school Teacher, and Nanny. I have experience working with a wide range of ages from newborns to teenagers. I have the most experience with ages 1-6 years old! I think it’s so fun getting to see their personalities come out and begin to explore life. I believe establishing trust with children is very important along with having fun and just being a kid! I have a Bachelor’s in Outdoor Education so I love going outside and exploring nature with the kids. I also love doing crafts, reading, coming up with new games to play, baking with them, & letting their imagination and creativity shine through! I am reliable, adventurous, trust worthy, attentive, caring, communicative, and have a very flexible schedule! I’m fine doing house hold chores and am comfortable with dogs & cats as well.

Booked by 1 family in Port Townsend, 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.
