Hello, I am a semi-retired clinical instructor and practitioner in women's health care living in Birch Bay, WA. I am very responsible and clean, and do not smoke anything. I am very physically active, healthy, and do not have drama in my life. I love to landscape, work with plants, organize, and stage places. I am great with animals and people, trustworthy, and reliable for housesitting. Have considerable experience taking care of friends' and family members' homes while they have been away. In particular, I am looking for overnight sitting situations so that I can be away from the community I am living in during construction starting some time in March and lasting several months. I am also available as a patient advocate to support the care of others. I am willing to travel up to 60 miles for sitting multiple nights, and 30 miles for anything else.

HI! I am Peytin, an 18-year-old who dedicates her joy and passion to kids' growth and development. Currently residing in Mount Vernon with my mom and two sisters, I am a High School senior who is looking forward to graduate this month. My accumulated 5 years of working experience in the childcare industry stems from my aspiration to become an elementary teacher in the future. In terms of physical attributes, I am an active individual who enjoys hiking, running, and swimming. Another endearing factor about me is that I love animals, hence families with pets are welcome! Regarding my work ethic, I uphold a high standard of cleanliness and organization as I believe it supports my productivity in all aspects. I am available for babysitting, nanny, and nanny/housekeeping jobs either on a full-time or part-time basis. I'd prefer a live-out arrangement but can assure commitment and reliability as I have my own vehicle and a driver's license. Although I can't relocate, I am available to travel for work. My schedule is pretty flexible as I am available throughout the day, from mornings, mid-day, to evenings from Monday to Friday. You can also count on me on different childcare duties such as cooking, light housekeeping, running errands/grocery shopping, preparing meals for kids, transporting children, and doing children's laundry. Experienced with children of all age ranges from newborns to over 10 years, I am confident to care and work with up to three children. However, I should also mention that I am not equipped to work with children with disabilities. I have passed police checks and can confidently say that I do not smoke. An American citizen by birth, English is my primary and sole medium of communication. Ready to bring positive contributions to your family, I am able and ready to start immediately!

Hello, my name is Crystal. As a mother of three boys, and now a grandmother of three, I bring my experience as a compassionate and reliable caregiver. Adept in supporting children, seniors, and pets. I LOVE ALL BABIES, PETS, and GRANDPARENTS! Creative, playful, and patient with the kids. Dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing environment while meeting diverse needs. Strong communication and problem-solving abilities help me build trust with families. Always attentive, organized, and eager to make a positive difference. I have a background as an NAR, though I have not endeavored to renew my licenses as it requires a return to schooling. It was rewarding and I truly enjoyed this period in my late twenties and early thirties prior to my accounting career. I worked in both brain trauma and geriatric nursing long term care facilities. $22.00 for pet. Fees can be negotiable based on responsibility involved. Lighter workload = less $. Or shorter commute = less $. :)

Hello, my name is Eleanor but you can call me Ellie! I am a freshman at WWU and I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am the youngest in my family but I always wanted little siblings and I’ve always loved kids. I have babysat for a variety of age groups since I was 11 years old, beginning with my newborn next door neighbor. I also have experience in leadership and teaching, as I coached ages 2-5 in gymnastics for multiple summer camps, and was in advanced leadership in high school. I am familiar with how to correctly demonstrate and describe things to children and I prioritize safety, patience, and active engagement. I also took a number of helpful AP classes during school, like psychology, so not only do I have a good understanding how their little brains work but I work hard to make sure they feel safe and understood so I can solve any problems that may occur. I am CPR certified and working on getting infant CPR certified. I grew up with two cats and a dog, and I have dog now who’s my best friend, but I’ve always loved all animals. I have pet sit for two of my old neighbors, and a handful of friends. I am allergic to cats, but I take medication for it, and I have some experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents, fish and reptiles. I love cleaning and organizing, especially other spaces, and I have house sat for a number of families over the years. I also wouldn’t mind cooking or running errands.
