I am 28 years old. I have worked with children from infants through school age. Former teacher at Kindercare, and am background checked through the Department of Early Learning. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant in the state of Washington. I am also CPR certified for infants through adults. I love story time and tasks that use the children’s imaginations. I have a passion for helping children learn new things and grow. I also love taking the children to the park, zoo, etc. so they can have fun and use up their energy in a positive way. I am also a mother of two and my oldest is level 2 on the autism spectrum and has adhd so I do have lots of experience with special needs as well.

I am the proud mother of two young adult children who are now making their way in the world, and I am still their biggest cheerleader. As a former federal employee, I bring reliability, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility. Gardening is one of my mini passions, and I currently do part-time gardening work. I also have many years of experience, caring for children and babies. If chosen, I would be honored to care for your children, and will make sure they are safe, supported, and having fun under my guidance.

Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m a special education teacher with 19 years of experience supporting students of all abilities. I’m also the proud mom of an amazing 15-year-old, and I understand how important it is to find someone who is dependable, patient, and genuinely cares about children. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds, including children with special needs, English language learners, and those needing extra academic and emotional support. My experience has helped me develop patience, creativity, and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. As both a teacher and a mom, I know every child is unique. Whether your family needs occasional babysitting, homework help, transportation, or someone to keep your children engaged with games, crafts, reading, or outdoor activities, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I’m reliable, organized, and calm under pressure, and I treat every child with the same kindness, respect, and encouragement that I want for my own. I look forward to helping your family and creating a positive experience for both you and your children!

$17 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a responsible college student that is looking for a part time job with some cool kids, pups, and cats :). I’ve worked at my mom’s daycare for two years with kids ages 2-7 at the same time, and loved it! I love kids and had even taught my little brother how to read his first book by reading him his favorite story every night until he read along! I was a also a trained life guard with CPR training and was very active in my high school swim team (taught my little brother how to swim too!). I love reading kids their books they bring and watching their favorite shows and movies. Snack and play time are one of my favorite parts of the day, fueling them then getting all their energy out with exercise and fun games. I have experience working in an assisted living home as a dietary aide (and an occasional dog walker to my favorite resident)…preparing and serving food as well as having a food handlers permit. I have plenty experience with cats and dogs (I own two of both!) and am eager to learn your routine with your fur friends!

Hi there- my name is Olivia and I’m currently active duty Navy stationed right here in Bremerton I am offering child care for all ages and household services. I love my day job but find myself missing what I had before the navy which was taking care of children. I am no stranger to all ages and I’m very flexible to fit the needs of you as busy families. I am the oldest of 20 children within my immediate family and have been taking care of children as long as I can remember. I am CPR certified, and am very reliable in emergency situations. I also work as a tutor for elementary students weekly. I look forward to meeting you!

Olivia is probably one of the best babysitters you could ever hire! My son loved spending time with her and was so sad when she had to go. We loved Olivia because of her willingness to understand our family values when taking the job so that she could tailor to our family's needs. She took such great care of our son, and gave us so many laughs about the times they shared before she left. We can't wait to hire her again! She honestly is the best!! ❤❤❤❤
