Find nannies in Enumclaw, WA

I raised 5 of my own children, 4 boys and 1 daughter, from birth to adulthood. I also have 2 granddaughters 5 and 7 years old. I have lots of patience, tons of energy for many activities children love to do, and a lot of love and caring to give. Children are such a blessing and a great joy. I will always carry out your wishes for your family because you have sacrificed, and your role and wishes are very important. I do really love animals, and I have cared for two dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds, that were part of my family. If someone asked me what I would do, if their child did not do as they were asked while I was caring for them on a babysitting job, I would tell them… I would like to have had a conversation with the parents before they left their children in my care, as to how they wanted me to handle that situation. I would like to follow what the parents wishes are, because you cannot make a child do anything. although you can make the parents happy by following their wishes. I have had two previous jobs working with seniors in the past. The first one was mostly companionship, but I also cooked, took her to appointments and to run errands, we would also go walking for a little exercise, and to keep her agile and able to have balance and strength. She had great stories that I would listen to, and we would connect over them… she was a great lady. The second job was working with a gentleman who needed driving to appointments, grocery stores and to the gym. He had macular degeneration so he could see, but not enough to drive. I was very patient and understanding with him, as he did suffer from some age related dementia (he was in his early 90s). I would help him with household cleaning, chores and companionship, he liked to share his life over lunch that I would prepare for him. I also helped him with his finances and writing checks to pay his bills. He was very spunky and entertaining, and he liked to talk about his life when his wife was still alive.

Hi there! My name is Em, and I am an experienced, compassionate, and energy-loving individual who is dedicated to the world of childcare and development. With a background in child development and theater, I aspire to provide the space our children need to grow confidently, blending knowledge and teaching moments with silliness and empathy. I had the privilege to practice exactly this in my year-long experience at The Little Gym, where I worked as an instructor for ages ranging from 1-12. My specific experience lies primarily in ages 1-5, as I taught the classes involved with parents learning alongside their kiddos, as well as the independent preschool classes. Never a dull moment in these classes! We were always on our feet, learning with our bodies and brains simultaneously. My passion lies in child development, meaning that I am aware and understanding of the varying levels and differing needs of every child, no matter the age. I can identify and apply my knowledge of development and education to a wide variety of scenarios, whether it be tailoring a meal plan for our picky 2-year-old, (I cook too!) or developing a homework system together with our curious 3rd grader. I believe myself to be particularly skilled in allowing children to feel listened to and seen, ESPECIALLY in tough moments involving big emotions. On top of this, I also come with the skills of activity-planning, culinary arts, crafts, and my certifications in First Aid and CPR. I also feel it’s important to mention that I have specific knowledge and skills in children with special needs, as I was raised alongside a brother with severe ASD and grew to be very familiar with what it looks like and the special care it requires. Above everything, it is most important to me that you know that I deeply care about our kids and that there is nothing I want more than for you to feel comfortable with who you’re leaving to care for your little ones. I want you to step out that front door feeling confident that you’re in safe hands. No matter if your kiddo is at the stage where they’ve just recently made the miraculous discovery of travel by feet, perfecting belting their ABC’s to proudly show off to their school companions, or navigating the awkward independence of impending teenage-hood, I can guarantee I will be prepared for all of it every step of the way. I hope to meet you and your family soon!

Hi! My name is Alicia, I’m 24 years old and was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington. My ethnicity is Native American, Korean and White. I graduated from Chief Leschi Schools and have always been active in sports, especially basketball and volleyball, which I still enjoy today. My current hobbies include going to the gym, video games, and cars. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as a licensed and insured driver. I would describe myself as fun, caring, dependable, patient, clean, organized, and highly communicative. I have 3 years of paid childcare experience, but caregiving has been part of my life for much longer. Growing up, I helped care for my three younger siblings due to my mother raising us as a single parent. Helping with younger children from my teenage years taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and loving environment. I genuinely love caregiving and being someone families can trust and rely on. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, stay active, and feel comfortable. I understand every child has different needs and personalities, and I enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents. Seeing children happy, supported, and safe in my care is something I find very rewarding. I have experience caring for up to 3 children at once for 8-hour days, with ages ranging from 11 months to 5 years old, but I’m comfortable caring for older children as well. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, meal preparation, activities, and everyday childcare responsibilities. In addition to childcare, I’m available for pet care, including watching dogs and cats, walks, feeding, and bathing. I also genuinely enjoy cleaning and staying organized, so helping with light household tasks such as dishes, laundry, vacuuming, mopping, and tidying up is never a problem. I take pride in creating a safe, caring, fun, and organized environment for children, pets, and families. I understand how important trust, communication, and reliability are when allowing someone into your home, and I strive to be someone families feel comfortable depending on.

Hi- my name is Amanda and I’m offering childcare for any age, your house or mine. I don’t mind driving to activities or appointments. I am mostly interested in occasional jobs but will consider a steady few days a week as well. I have been a stay at home mom for 15 years. My three children are now 11, 13 and 15. I recently turned 50, and miss those younger years with my kids so much. I love to laugh and dance with little ones. I enjoy coloring and crafts, even school work. I am CPR certified and I have received a background check through volunteering with Puyallup School District. I also have a Wa state Food Handlers Card.

I have two years of experience assisting lead teachers in organizing and managing classroom activities. I also have the skills to maintain a safe environment for children through careful supervision and adherence to safety protocols, and I have experience supporting children's social and emotional development. I am able to interact with children, parents, and quickly resolve conflicts or problems. I am able to create engaging and educational activities that foster a love of learning in children.
