Find a last-minute babysitter in Mountlake Terrace, WA

I would describe myself as having a calm and observant disposition. A clever sense of humor with a big imagination. Definitely a utilitarian thinker and likes to explore outside the box with art and play. I’ve always connected well with kids of all ages. It’s natural for me to communicate, play and be imaginative with them at their level while remaining in the present. Retired now but before I was a dedicated professional with over 15 years experience in providing comprehensive services to general/ special needs children of various ages mostly one to one. I also have a background in behavioral management and curriculum development. Eight years experience in pet/house sitting around the world. Six years of Camp Counselor and instructor in wilderness survival and camping with youth. In addition, I have 4 years of experience in Sailing Charters as a 1st Mate and 3 years experience in Landscaping/ general yard maintenance. Those are the large parts amongst many other hats I’ve worn throughout my years. I hold a MA in Special Needs Education specifically with the deaf and/or blind and a BA in Elementary Education K-6. The core of my person is organized/cleanliness, detailed oriented, mindful, loyal, honest, straight forward, and have integrity in anything I commit to, be it work or personal. I practice awareness in many areas and believe without this one cannot grow or learn how to improve themselves in communication and their person. Currently, I’m looking for part-time work for now that provides an environment that is stimulating to the mind and involves movement vs stationary. A multi tasking position with limited to no major self created chaos. Background information: I’ve been background checked and fingerprinted multiple times for educational purposes and licensing. I do not have any criminal background. I am NW born and grew up in Portland and Seattle area. At the moment I reside in Everett and have a vehicle. Thank you for your time in reading my profile and look forward to finding a good match. Best regards, Jenevieve

Hi!- My name is Hayaat I’m currently a student at University of Washington. I love taking care of children and have babysat many, including babies and toddlers, since I was 14. I have 4+ years of experience with responsibilities that have included in home things like meal prep, feeding children, changing diapers, playing games, and spending time with them. I’m familiar with bedtime and nap routines and can easily adjust to different ones. I also volunteer as a running and reading coach for elementary school students during after school programs. I’ve built a bond with all of my students through my patience, kindness and understanding of different behaviors and personalities. I’m an honest, people-oriented, and responsible person who loves meeting new people! I’m comfortable around all pets as well.

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.

I grew up in an in-home childcare that my mother ran for about 12 years. I have four younger siblings as well. I started babysitting at 15 for the neighbors and by the time I was 19 I was doing overnights with a 3 month old baby girl, a two year old and ten year old. It was a lot but we did it! I’ve had a few other families over the years but it’s been some time as I am now a hairstylist and have worked in restaurants for the last 10-13 years. I am currently 37 years old and have my own 10 month old little boy who will be with me most of the time. He’s a very good, smart little guy and loves big kids. He has lots of older cousins he loves to play with. If you’re worried about it being too much for me to handle, please don’t. I am with him all day every day, we like to go outside and do things if you are comfortable with that. I am great with children.
