Booked by 2 families in Stanwood, WA

Hi there- my name is Olivia and I’m currently active duty Navy stationed right here in Bremerton I am offering child care for all ages and household services. I love my day job but find myself missing what I had before the navy which was taking care of children. I am no stranger to all ages and I’m very flexible to fit the needs of you as busy families. I am the oldest of 20 children within my immediate family and have been taking care of children as long as I can remember. I am CPR certified, and am very reliable in emergency situations. I also work as a tutor for elementary students weekly. I look forward to meeting you!

Olivia is probably one of the best babysitters you could ever hire! My son loved spending time with her and was so sad when she had to go. We loved Olivia because of her willingness to understand our family values when taking the job so that she could tailor to our family's needs. She took such great care of our son, and gave us so many laughs about the times they shared before she left. We can't wait to hire her again! She honestly is the best!! ❤❤❤❤

Booked by 2 families in Stanwood, WA

I have a long experience working with children all ages. I love being around kids, playing, teaching and having fun with them. I’m a very responsible, caring person that you can depend on me while you’re away.

Lubna did a great job with our daughter, engaging her, redirecting her when needed, and chatting with her. We also appreciated her quick responsiveness and willingness to come at the last minute when we had another sitter cancel. We would definitely recommend her to other families!

Hi! I’m Leila, a student at the University of Washington with several years of experience working with children. In high school, I completed a 3-year childcare career pathway program where I worked closely with kids of different ages through activities, learning, and care. I also have hands-on experience caring for my two infant nieces and younger cousins, so I’m very comfortable with routines, playtime, meals, and helping children feel safe and supported. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like crafts, games, reading, and outdoor play.
