**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.
My name is Emylee. I am an incoming sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania interested in studying criminology and I am 189 years old. I am originally from Seattle, Washington, but my family moved to rural Idaho when I was in eighth grade. Before I graduated from high school I would constantly babysit my younger siblings, who were anywhere from infants to 10 years old. I have some experience with babies and I am very patient and do not mind crying or anything like that. I am willing to work with parents to figure out hours that will work for both of us. I have had pets including a fish, rodents, and a couple of dogs. I am willing to help with homework, clean, and do fun activities with those I am watching.
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.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ilda! She was always punctual—often arriving a little early each day, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment she met our baby, it was clear she had a natural gift with children. Our little one instantly connected with her and was so happy and comfortable in her care. What really stood out was not only her warmth and patience, but also her depth of experience. She shared thoughtful insights about our baby’s development and what to expect in the coming months, which was incredibly helpful for us as new parents. It felt like she wasn’t just providing care, but also partnering with us in understanding our child’s growth. We feel so lucky to have found Ilda and would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, insightful, and experienced caregiver.”
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:)
