Find nannies in La Center, WA

Hello! I am originally from Ethiopia. I have lived in the U.S. for 18 years now. I love learning and spending time with my loved ones. Amidst the pandemic, in 2020, I graduated from University of Portland with my Bachelor's degree in Biology minoring in Chemistry and Neuroscience. Ultimately, I would like to pursue a career in healthcare. Therefore, I have been working as a CNA since graduating. I enjoy being around people caring for the vulnerable, it is a true passion of mine. I love kids and have had previous experience working with children and their parents (i.e. at a preschool/childcare during high school). I believe that my background and skillset will allow me to genuinely care for you and your family.

Hi! My name is Cami, and I am offering childcare and senior care. I am currently a senior in college and will be graduating in a few months with a degree in psychology. I plan to continue my education to pursue an RN degree. I am CNA-certified through Washington State and am also CPR and first aid certified. I have been babysitting, nannying, and helping with childcare for about 5 years, and I truly love working with kids. I am delighted to help with homework, activities, light meal prep, transportation, and cleaning up after the children while I am caring for them. I have my own reliable transportation. I also have experience working in memory care as a caregiver, supporting older adults with daily routines, companionship, mobility, feeding, and toileting, and creating a safe, calm environment. My caregiving background has helped me become patient, dependable, and attentive to each person’s individual needs. I am comfortable with dogs, but I am allergic to cats. I would describe myself as caring, responsible, and safety-focused, and I truly enjoy supporting both children and older adults in a positive and compassionate way.

Dear prospective family, I'm a fun loving, caring, gentle person, while knowing when there is a need to set boundaries. I know I was out of this profession for awhile (14yrs), before I took a six month job with a family from Brilliant Nanny before the kids returning to daycare for the social aspect. MY down time has taught me with everything going on in the world, and if you don't love what you're doing find what you do. I remembered how much I enjoyed being a nanny, and the fond memories, and watching the children learn and grow into young adults. After a 12yr job with 2x children we are still in each other's lives after 20 years. My time in retail has taught me patience, to be calm, that every situation is different, and excellent communication is key. Which can be applied as being a nanny also. Each of these skills I think can be used while being a nanny. I'm certified by Northwest Nanny Institute so I have child development classes/ child education, age apprroitate activities, separation anxiety, nutrition, sleep routine, and more. For 2mo I was responsible for two 3yr olds. During are days together: I provided structured activities including arts and crafts projects, baking, walks, and physical activities, as well as reading time, building forts, child led play, and trips to the park. Also assisted with potty training.  I would prepare snacks, and meals. This was a short term contract due to school starting. Before that I cared for 6 months I cared for an 8 month old and 3 1/2 year old. Our days consisted of baking, arts and crafts, dance parties, imaginary play, and getting outside for daily exercise. Lastly I took a short term (2 month contract) with two 3yr olds. This was short term care due to children starting pre-school. During the days we would spend are time doing baking, arts and crafts, reading, child led play,, and outdoor fun. I'm looking to work 25-30 hrs in a 4 day period or less a week, and willing to travel NE, N, SE, and parts of SW. Thank you for your time.

Hi! I’m an empty nester and I’m beginning to explore the gig economy after a 23-year career in real estate. I bring a strong sense of responsibility, professionalism, and communication skills from years of working closely with families and managing high-trust client relationships. While I’m new to paid childcare platforms like UrbanSitter, I have hands-on parenting experience raising my son, which gave me a solid foundation in day-to-day childcare, structure, and staying calm and attentive in all kinds of situations. I’m currently focused on occasional babysitting, home help, and overnight care, not regular recurring schedules. I’m comfortable with late-night or overnight stays when needed and can be flexible for one-time jobs, date nights, or travel support. I’m also very comfortable with pets and would be happy to bring my small, non-shedding doodle along for overnight stays if needed. He is well-behaved, quiet, and used to being around children and new homes. Families can expect someone who is reliable, respectful of household routines, easy to communicate with, and attentive to both children and home environments. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks such as tidying up, organization,meal prep and cleanup, and keeping things orderly during my time in your home. Looking forward to supporting families who need trustworthy, occasional care.
