Find nannies in Amboy, WA

Hello, I am a simple country boy growing up on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania. I am the youngest of seven children and all my siblings are married and live on farms. On many occasions, I sat for my 40-45nieces and nephews and took care of the farm work as well. I love children and animals.

I’m a dedicated first responder near Portland, Oregon. I have experience in being a certified Police Officer and a volunteer certified Firefighter while pursuing my bachelor’s degree at Chemeketa College. I’m certified in Adult/Child/Infant CPR, AED, EMR, and BLS and have a valid food handlers card. You will appreciate my calm, trustworthy, and caring nature, paired with an upbeat, outgoing personality that helps kids feel safe, engaged, and having fun! I have 6 years of experience caring for children from infancy through early adolescence, including ages 0–11 months, 1–3 years, 4–5 years, and 6–11 years. I’m comfortable supporting daily routines, preparing meals, helping with crafts, and assisting with travel or carpooling. I also offer swimming, walk and park supervision and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for kids of all ages. In addition to my public safety background, I also provide household cleaning and organization services. Whether it’s maintaining a tidy home, assisting with laundry, disinfecting surfaces, or helping with daily household tasks, I take pride in creating a clean, comfortable environment for families. I do not smoke or use any substances. I’m reliable, punctual, and always arrive 5–10 minutes early to ensure clear communication, directions, and an easy transition for your family. All forms of payment accepted.

The wonderful thing about loving your job is it’s easy to show up with a smile and a positive attitude. I really like working in the care sector and especially enjoy watching children grow, learn and become individuals. I live alone so I have flexibility with my schedule. I do have a cat if you are allergic. I am hoping to focus on childcare for all ages. In the past 14yrs I’ve cared for, and spent time with, children between the ages of 4 and 17, between 1[removed] I had experience with infants and toddlers. My niece and nephews are my greatest joy. One nephew is neurodivergent and my niece is special needs, I only mention this because it taught me patience, healthy coping skills and communication. Practically speaking, what I can offer: 1) I can cook and bake, focusing on vegetable heavy dishes. If you have a craving for spanakopita or NY cheesecake? I can provide. 2) I’m a very safe driver with a reliable car. I haven’t had a car accident or traffic ticket since 1995. I’m more than happy to drive to do errands, pick up groceries, do school pick ups & drop offs and trips to the soccer field. 3) I’m a VERY creative person! I have a ton of arts and crafts supplies that I can bring for everything from watercolors to polymer clay sculpture. I’m also good with stories, silly songs and funny dances. 4) I am happy to help with a little homework (familiar with Montessori teaching practices) playing games, reading nighttime stories and TALKING with children to develop vocabulary and communication. I should mention I’m open to being a support person for child birthday parties or group outings. I’d be thrilled to do elder care and am very respectful, soft spoken when appropriate, and would be just as happy playing cribbage as reading whatever is of interest to my client. I honesty enjoy looking at family photo albums and listening to THEIR stories. I volunteered for 11 years at a care facility painting the ladies nails and reading to male and female clients. Have experience working with clients who have dementia. And finally I can do cat and small dog sitting duties. I have had cats living with me for decades, and few dogs too. I’m very pet friendly. No housecleaning duties other than laundry, dishes, counters and picking up after play time. Hope this inspires you to message and/or meet with me to see if I’m the right fit for you and your family. Have a great day!

Hi there! My name is Alexa, I am 21 years old, and I would love to get to know you and your kiddos! A little about who I am and my experience: I am a 2023 WSU graduate with my B.S. in Psychology, and before I go on to continue my education, I wanted to take the time to get to know myself and my passions a bit more. One of the areas of psychology that I always thought I might want to focus on is child development - and I thought that babysitting/nannying during my break between school would be a wonderful chance to experience the wonderful hearts and minds of kiddos and see if that is something I should further pursue. I am the eldest child of my parents’ four children, with one sister being 8 years younger than me and one brother being 13 years younger than me. Much of my childhood was spent changing diapers, helping with nap time, playing with them, watching them while my parents were busy or out for the night, and generally being a big part of their early years. I also had experience working with children through my church, as we frequently volunteered at a local family homeless shelter where we would play with the kids and try to brighten their days just a bit. Through my church I also spent a couple weeks in Kosovo in the summer of 2019 where I helped teach the local children English. It was a wonderful experience and one that I would love to return to one day. For transparency, I will be candid and say that it has been a second since I have been actively involved in the child caring world. Because of covid during my last two years of high school, and because I was getting my Bachelor’s degree so young, circumstances made it so that I haven’t been able to care for children like I used to in a while. My siblings have also made it clear that they are now too old and way too cool to hang out with their older sister! I will completely understand if my gap in my child caring resume makes you feel uneasy or uncomfortable. I wouldn’t ever expect a parent to trust their children with someone unless they were 100% comfortable with the person- and I am very okay if that isn’t me. If you do think we will be a good fit, I am happy to speak at your convenience! Childcare is a wonderful, fulfilling job and I am very excited to jump back into that world again. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about me and for considering me as a candidate to take care of your kiddos :)

I am calm, reserved and curious but I become a very bubbly, humorous and goofy person when you get to know me. I am nurturing and very sensitive to my environment, always cautious. I’ve worked at a day care and also as an au pair and would casually take babysitting gigs. I’ve worked with a varying group of ages but I’ve worked mostly with toddlers to preteens. I don’t mind working with pets as well as seniors.
