Find a last-minute babysitter in Brush Prairie, WA

Hi, I’m Katie! My passion for supporting the growth and learning of children, combined with my experience in caregiving for both the young and elderly, allows me to offer a dedicated and adaptable approach. My experience includes raising my own child, assisting with the children of family and friends, and providing care for elderly individuals. I am adept at creating nurturing and engaging environments, and I am committed to providing compassionate and attentive care. Beyond my caregiving experience, I am an active and engaged individual with a variety of hobbies, including fishing, reading, hiking, road tripping, crafting, and camping. I believe my diverse interests contribute to my ability to connect with and support individuals of all ages. I'm excited to explore how my background and interests align with your family's needs. Thank you for your time and consideration. Enjoy your day!

I am calm, reserved and curious but I become a very bubbly, humorous and goofy person when you get to know me. I am nurturing and very sensitive to my environment, always cautious. I’ve worked at a day care and also as an au pair and would casually take babysitting gigs. I’ve worked with a varying group of ages but I’ve worked mostly with toddlers to preteens. I don’t mind working with pets as well as seniors.

The wonderful thing about loving your job is it’s easy to show up with a smile and a positive attitude. I really like working in the care sector and especially enjoy watching children grow, learn and become individuals. I live alone so I have flexibility with my schedule. I do have a cat if you are allergic. I am hoping to focus on childcare for all ages. In the past 14yrs I’ve cared for, and spent time with, children between the ages of 4 and 17, between 1[removed] I had experience with infants and toddlers. My niece and nephews are my greatest joy. One nephew is neurodivergent and my niece is special needs, I only mention this because it taught me patience, healthy coping skills and communication. Practically speaking, what I can offer: 1) I can cook and bake, focusing on vegetable heavy dishes. If you have a craving for spanakopita or NY cheesecake? I can provide. 2) I’m a very safe driver with a reliable car. I haven’t had a car accident or traffic ticket since 1995. I’m more than happy to drive to do errands, pick up groceries, do school pick ups & drop offs and trips to the soccer field. 3) I’m a VERY creative person! I have a ton of arts and crafts supplies that I can bring for everything from watercolors to polymer clay sculpture. I’m also good with stories, silly songs and funny dances. 4) I am happy to help with a little homework (familiar with Montessori teaching practices) playing games, reading nighttime stories and TALKING with children to develop vocabulary and communication. I should mention I’m open to being a support person for child birthday parties or group outings. I’d be thrilled to do elder care and am very respectful, soft spoken when appropriate, and would be just as happy playing cribbage as reading whatever is of interest to my client. I honesty enjoy looking at family photo albums and listening to THEIR stories. I volunteered for 11 years at a care facility painting the ladies nails and reading to male and female clients. Have experience working with clients who have dementia. And finally I can do cat and small dog sitting duties. I have had cats living with me for decades, and few dogs too. I’m very pet friendly. No housecleaning duties other than laundry, dishes, counters and picking up after play time. Hope this inspires you to message and/or meet with me to see if I’m the right fit for you and your family. Have a great day!

Hi! My name is Nataysia, and I’m a dependable, caring, and patient sitter who truly enjoys working with children. I have experience helping families create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids of all ages. Whether it’s assisting with homework, keeping little ones entertained, or maintaining routines, I always strive to make both parents and children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and excited to help families however I can!

I grew up caring for a lot of my younger cousins, so I know how to handle chaos. I find kiddos to be very intresting little people, and love the times I get to spend with them. I would love to help be a support in kids' lives that I knew I needed when I was younger. I live with three dogs and two cats, and in the past I've cared for guinea pigs, gerbils, fish, and lizards. No animal is too much for me to handle. I love them and I love being around them!
