Find a last-minute babysitter in Coupeville, WA

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.

As a mom myself, I know first hand how difficult (and overwhelming at times) it was to find a trusting babysitter or nanny for my boys when they were younger. The way I see it, there is no greater job than being a parent. And when you have to make it to your job and can't be "there" for your children, you want to make sure they are in the right hands. That's where I come in, to offer you the peace of mind that your child will be safe, well cared for, nurtured and encouraged to thrive. I have a long experience with child care, from newborn to school age teenagers. I have a Bachelors in Education Sciences, with emphasis in Child Development. I am current on CPR, AED and First Aid training, and I am certified in Defensive Driving. I am also a Washington state Certified Specialized Para-Educator working with my school district in the mornings during the school year. If you're reading this message it’s because you're in need of someone you can trust your child with. So, send me a message and I will respond promptly.

Hello, I recently worked for a local preschool and am working towards my STARS certification. I have a current food handlers card and child, infant, and adult CPR. I’m awesome with the elderly, children, and animals. Also very experienced in professional house cleaning. I am a current student in the Neuro Diagnostic Technologist program at Bellevue college. For the next two years. Looking for steady reliable employment:)

In addition to being a mother, I have enjoyed working as a Preschool teacher, Pre-K & Kindergarten Assistant, After-school Lead Teacher, Postpartum Doula, Mother’s Helper, Nanny for 7 families, Job Coach for disabled young adults, on-on-one Behavioral Tech for Autistic students, CNA for elderly and disabled adults, & a Tutor. In addition, I have experience working as a Household Manager, Real Estate Assistant, (including Event Planning and Execution/managing vendors and sponsors) Housecleaner, Professional Organizer & Home Stager, Floral Designer for weddings and events, as well as a Portrait and Real Estate Photographer.

I have always babysat and loved it. I mostly did family friends and neighbors but had work with people that I just met, too. I am too soft for my own good. It is good for the kids though. I have done services ranging from babysitting to cleaning houses. I always do my best to ensure a good experience to the one I’m caring for. I do love babies specifically and hope to get more experience with newborns.
