Anya $30 per hour for 1 child
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.

Hello my name is Marley! I went to school for Music Education. I have been working with children for over ten years. I am grateful for each opportunity to learn what makes kids excited about learning, and exploring the natural world. I have been a camp counselor, a private flute teacher, and a music intern in two elementary schools and one middle school. I will be student teaching next fall 2027. I would love to be able to help care for the kids in the community.
“Marley was wonderful with our 4-year-old! She is so patient and really knows how to play with kids — she even brought her own toys, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our daughter had a blast and by the end of the visit they were like best friends; she didn't want Marley to leave! We'd happily book her again.”
Christine $25 per hour for 1 child
I am a mother and a grandmother. I raised my three children with love, devotion, a sense of humor, surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. They are all well adjusted adults. I have also been a caregiver/babysitter for two of my four grandchildren as a regular job, on Bainbridge Island and have taken care of all my grandchildren throughout their lives on many different occasions. I have also been a caregiver for the elderly for the past 6 years for a company that just closed its doors, unfortunately. I have two cats and have had cats all my life. They love me and I love them.

Hi! 😊 Hi! My name is Sandra. I have been living in the United States for the past year, where I worked as an au pair in the Seattle area. I am currently a student in the US and looking for babysitting/nanny opportunities in my free time to earn some extra income. I have one year of hands-on childcare experience as an au pair, caring for two children: a baby from birth until the age of 2 and another child from 3 to 5 years old. I also have an educational background in Early Childhood and Primary Education, including school internships and classroom experience. I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, play, grow, and feel safe and loved. A bit about me: * Responsible, caring, patient, and trustworthy. * One year of au pair experience in the US. * Experienced with newborns, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. * Fluent in Spanish and English. * Comfortable with daily routines, meal preparation, homework help, and creative activities. * Flexible schedule (evenings and weekends). I would love to support a family looking for occasional babysitting or a regular nanny. References available upon request. Feel free to message me if you think I could be a good fit for your family!
“She was on time and did an incredible job with our son. He loved spending the day with her! She accepted our job even though it was super last minute and was a huge lifesaver for us! Very professional and courteous.”
