Find a wedding babysitter in Granite Falls, WA

Howdy! My name is Kiara, and thank you for considering me to watch some of the most valuable beings in your life. I am 22 years old, and grew up as the eldest in my family with 2 significantly younger sisters, and several cousins, whom I have helped keep an eye on. Children bring a sense of wonder and curiosity many adults have lost, which is why I believe it is our responsibility as caretakers to responsibly foster these traits in a safe environment. I believe the best way to do this is to play, imagine, discover, and grow with those whom I watch. They have as much to teach me, as I do to them. Pets are family too, which is why I understand the love and compassion needed to care take for them as well. From walks, to playtime, or even cleaning up after accidents, I am here to care for them in your steed as you go on adventures of your own!

Hi - My name is Alison and I am offering child care and household services. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and school age children both in private homes and childcare settings. I also taught The Incredible Years parenting course and was recently certified as a Life Coach. For 10 years I was blessed to be a stay at home mom to a now 11 and 19 year old. I was also an admin for the local Buy Nothing group for about ten years and volunteered in other service capacities as well. I enjoy photography, hiking, and reading.

Hello! My name is Stacie and I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. I am currently an outdoor preschool teacher during the week but I am looking to work some occasional weekends or week night evenings to make a little extra money to help pay some extra bills. I received my teaching degree and a special education degree from Central Washington University many years ago but I continue to put it to good use everyday working with my preschool students. I consider myself a life long learner and I am continually learning new information about early childhood development, plants, cooking, sewing and gardening. My experience working with children spans 25+ years. My introduction to teaching was in high school when I worked at a Montessori Preschool. During my college education at Central Washington University, I worked with developmentally delayed adults who lived in the community and needed 24 hour support. I also lived with a female student who was a paraplegic but could still attend classes and who lived a very active life with the use of her electric wheelchair. My job was to assist her with meals, baths, bathroom breaks and all the little things in between. After college I had a wonderful time being the Education Director at the Boys and Girls Club in Bellevue for two years. After moving to Snohomish my daughter began attending the Snohomish Coop Preschool. I naturally began assisting my daughter’s preschool teacher and eventually was hired to teach due to the teacher getting injured in an accident. After finishing teaching at the Snohomish Coop preschool I was hired on at the Marysville Coop Preschool where I worked 3 years. From there I was hired at the Snohomish School District to teach in the Developmental Preschool program. I spent 3 years with the program and then switched to full time subbing for the Snohomish School District. Once my daughter graduated from the Snohomish School District I decided to try working with older adults living in adult family homes. I worked with a start up company that was hired by the adult family homes to go and provide the residents with music activities and art projects that would be interesting and stimulating for the residents. Eventually, I made my way back to teaching preschool but this time it was out in the forest. As you can see I enjoy working with people of all ages and abilities. There are so many people to meet and so many things to learn!

Hi - My name is Christina, I’m 30 years old and I'm currently in school to get a degree in Public Health. Once I complete my degree, I would love to have the title, “child and maternal health advocate”! I started working in child care 10 years ago as a lead teacher in a toddler classroom at a daycare. After a few years there, I moved on to becoming a nanny. I’ve been a nanny to two amazing families since 2016. Im thankful to have held long term positions. While my work week is filled with my current position, I do enjoy babysitting on the side. Im open to one time and occasional babysitting depending on the families needs. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since was 18 years old. My responsibilities as a babysitter have included bed time routines, prepping meals, cleaning up as well as entertaining the children. Naturally, I have a calm demeanor and a nurturing personality. I believe it goes hand in hand while being a caretaker. Although I am unavailable for for a full/part time position, I am open for date nights and such! Please feel free to contact I me. I can also provide my resume. *updated Aug. 2023

Hi Parents! If you have any questions after reading my profile, I encourage you to reach out to me, and I will do my best to get back to you right away. I have been caring for children since I was 11 years old, and I started working as a Professional Nanny/Household Manager/Mary Poppins when I was 17 until I was 33. At the age of 30, I opened the sought-after nanny agency in Seattle, The Nanny Consultant. During the course of my nanny career, I took dozens of classes supporting children in everything from sleep to development, and I feel like I have read every parenting book under the sun. Since then, I have had three children, who are now 4, 5, and 7, whom I homeschool. Years ago, I completed the basic skills exam from the INA with 100% accuracy. I have also completed the National Nanny Training Day in San Diego in 2013 and in Seattle in 2016, Nannypolozza in Orlando in 2015 and Vancouver Nanny Training in 2016 and spoke there in 2017. I most recently attended a newborn care specialist class. I truly love this profession as it is a true passion of mine. I am in it for the long run. I currently only provide back up care and date nights. My objective is to offer families the best and complete care for their children with love, nourishment, and guidance and to make sure the health, well-being, education, and safety of the children are never jeopardized. I undertake all tasks related to the care of the entire household. I support children by providing physical, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual play to ensure proper development. I always maintain good, open communication with parents and usually come with a nanny bag with books, coloring sheets, and a puzzle that is age-appropriate. "I have extensive experience in childcare and treat the children under my care as if they were my own. I have a natural ability to connect with children, and they tend to gravitate towards me (even animals too!). My priority is providing quality care to the children and creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them."
