CPR/First Aid Certified After-School Childcare (North Lake Samish)

I am a single, 32 year old female with more than 20 years of babysitting and child-rearing experience. I have a small house on Lake Samish, and would like to open my home to provide after-school care for children in my area. My home is clean, I run air purifiers throughout, and I do not smoke or use drugs. I can fix snacks, help with homework, take your kids to play in the big grassy area right by my house, and just be an adult present to ensure their safety until you arrive. I am honest and intelligent and will follow whatever rules you set out for your kids, regarding what they can and cannot do or eat. If you need me to keep them later, I can provide dinner. I am very flexible, so just email me and tell me your needs, and we can try to figure something out. I am also available for childcare on evenings, weekends (though I go to church on Sunday morning) and during holidays from school.

I am not a licensed childcare provider; this is strictly a "babysitting" gig from someone with many years of common sense and childcare experience.

I look forward to hearing from you.

~Blessings~

A list of some of my experience: At age 11, I was the sole nursery attendant at my church for choir practice nights, and sometimes babysat up to 10 kids at one time; granted, the parents were in the sanctuary, but we never once had to go get them for anything. :) I began babysitting regularly for families in Junior High, and after High School was very involved in the raising of my baby Godson, and ultimately 3 Goddaughters. I have been a third parent to raising the girls, now ages 8, 10, and 14, since they were born. My niece is 2.5, and I have been actively involved in her life since birth also.

A home away from home childcare (Lynden)

I am a Mom of one and have been a Nanny for the past three years. I have seven years of childcare experience including working with children with special needs. I am starting my own daycare from home and looking for a few special kids to join my family. I am First Aid and CPR qualified. I am dedicated to creating an atmosphere that is stimulating, encouraging, safe, loving and adaptive to each child's individual needs. I have over 15 acres for your child to play, learn and grow. I have two full time and one part time openings starting in December. I would like to keep my number small so that I am able to spend one on one time with every child. If you are interested please email me with your contact information and a little bit about your child. I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: person looking for childcare in Ferndale

I am the babysitter who "flaked" out on her. I was never paid, nor did she hold to the agreement of paying something over the dshs $2.15 an hr to help compensate for my gas to take her son to school, pick him up and drop them off at different locations for sports, appts etc. To date I am out $1000 in pay plus about $350 in gas (out of my own pocket)
So, since she decided to dodge responsibility and put this all on me on CL, I wanted to warn anyone who may be thinking of answering her ad. If she tries to claim she has paid me, ask to see the canceled checks or dshs document proving so. She hasnt and I now have to file in small claims.
If you can afford to work for free, then by all means, answer her ad.
I cannot afford that any longer. It has cost us tremendously.

toddler looking for another toddler friend (3-year-old) (2712 Iron St.)

I take care of my 2 1/2-year-old grandson almost full time and our toddler friend has moved away. We so want at least one more friend; if more than one, need to be in the same family due to child care regulations. As you can see in the photos below, the house is devoted to kid live. I am very tolerant of 2-year-old mess and noise, the yard is fully fenced with organic 2-year-old grass, great play spot with water and dirt as well as a sand box. Rohan is very active, very verbal, loves people and his whole life is about play. My background is as a day care center social worker, then as a home day care operator for 5 years when my kids were young, wrote "A House Full of Kids: Running a successful day care in your own home" published in 1984 by Beacon Press. I returned to graduate school and worked as a family therapist for several years before retiring (due to the take over of the field by HMOs) and then turned to art, opening The Artifactory and Bead Lounge in Seattle for several years and now oasisbeadlounge on-line in my free time. I also do bronze sculpture and spend lots of time with my family. Come by and visit us to see if this might be a good fit for you and your toddler(s).

Stressed Out Mothers (Bellingham)

Are you a stressed out mom? Do you wish you had someone to talk to? Do you think therapy might help you deal with the stresses of parenting and of life in general? Is seeing a therapist or counselor impossible because you are home taking care of young children?

I know that childcare is expensive, children are unpredictable, transportation costs money, and time is limited, so I have been providing therapy online and by telephone to mothers of infants, toddlers and pre-school children. I have been told by moms that it has been a great relief and very helpful to have the option to talk to a therapist without needing to find childcare and without having to leave home, schedule appointments days ahead of time, arrange transportation, etc.

My name is Laurie and I am a licensed therapist with ten years of experience working in person, online and by phone with mothers and other women. This non-traditional method of therapy is a welcome alternative for mothers who feel isolated, are frustrated, feel stuck, or just want to talk to someone who will understand, empathize, and offer concrete advice and creative solutions.

I have a sliding fee scale and a flexible schedule, and I am a Molina Provider. I also meet with people at my Fairhaven office.

If you think I might be able to help you, please send me an email and I write back to you as soon as I can.
You can also leave me a voice message at 1-877-548-6547 and I will return your call within 24 hours.

Early Morning Care Needed (Alger)

We are in need of a reliable, caring female to watch a 11 year old girl early mornings. Mom has to leave for work at 5am and the bus doesn't come until 8am. We are looking for someone long term at least 1 year so we don't have to try to find someone new right away.

So, we need someone who is willing to come at 4:45am M-Th and make sure she gets up and ready for school on time and then drive her to the school bus (about a mile away). Depending on your rate we would love to have some light household up keep done (sweep the floor, wash the breakfast dishes). There is also a possibility of exchange of childcare for a room. We have a furnished spare room - you won't have to get up so early!

There are dogs - labs. So you must be comfortable with dogs (they are allowed in the house). They are trained and very lovable but very active. Dog care is not a requirement of the job.

Please email with questions and rates.

Thanks,

Marci

I can do early mornings up until about 6pm. I charge $3 per hour, or $25 per day. Whichever ends up being less. Discount available for multiple children. Though I am only taking 2 more children at this time. My children have other transportation for school so there is no need for me to leave the house. I will provide most of the food but snacks would be greatly appreciated.

Response to RE:Price of Childcare (Bellingham)

I realize this is not a blog post, but I would like to respond to your comments. First of all, I have offered to pay minimum wage, which is very fair. Paying someone $10/hour to babysit is not a "proper wage." And I, like many single moms I know, work nights, which means that I can't take my kids to a daycare because they are closed. A nanny hired fulltime who is expected to do everything a parent would do, ie cleaning, cooking, chauffering to and from activities, bathing and everything else along with playing and teaching and who has training and education in childcare can demand a higher wage. But what I am finding vastly more of is simply students who want to babysit part time and have the parent work around their class schedule. And that's fine, but they shouldn't expect to be paid an arm and a leg to spend a couple of hours playing with the kids and then put them to bed and have personal time. I'm not going to pay someone $12 an hour to sit on my couch and do homework or watch cable while I'm at work and can only bring home 50 cents an hour after taxes and paying the sitter. It doesn't work that way. Parents who hire sitters and have incredibly high expectations about schedules and menus should pay higher, because they expect more. But a lot of us parents just want someone to play with our kids, keep them safe and be here when they are asleep until we can be home. Is that really asking so much?

RE: Prices for childcare (Bellingham)

I can agree that paying someone min. wage to $10.00 or more an hour to watch your kids is high, but,
If you want to have a person come to your home and watch your kid(s) every day, you have to understand
they are doing it as a living and should be able to make a proper wage. It is you that has decided to have
someone come to your house when you can cheaper go to a daycare home or center. Which runs a lot
cheaper. Instead prices are based on having more children and families involved. Home daycare are like your
child being at home and centers are more like being at school. Sometime homes can be a little cheaper then
centers, but both of these are under paid. And as far as watching kids in your home and being able to do what
you normally do is wrong, unless you are really not watching the kids and interacting with them. So, if your are
looking for a home setting choose a Home Provider that is licensed by the state, so you can get the comfort knowing
your child is being taken care of in a safe enviroment. And by all means if you decide on a nanny given them a
break they are only trying to make a living just like you are.

I am a single mother of two offering a trade. You get a free room, bathroom and all utilities plus food. I get a babysitter who is here whenever I have to work and occasionally so I can get a night out (once a week). My hours vary, but are part time, so you would only be required to be here part time, but if you live here it simplifies things. There would be some light housekeeping as well. Must be female, non smoker, non drug user and have references. Also, no alcohol in the house. Please email me if you want to know more. Thanks!

Experienced nanny/babysitter/housekeeper (Bellingham area)

Hi Everyone :)

I am an experienced nanny. It was by far, my favorite job that I have had. I believe in active babysitting. What I mean by that, is that I don't just sit kids in front of a television all day. I love the being outdoors, baking and arts & crafts. I probably enjoy those things as much as kids do! I can't wait to have kids of my own but in the meantime I would love to take care of yours.
I have reliable transportation. I am enrolled in the CPR/First aid class for November 4th, so I will soon have that certification. I have multiple references.
I don't smoke. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

I hope to hear from you soon! :)

Extremely experienced child/house/pet sitter! (Bellingham, WA)

My name is Jilian and I am a WWU Sophomore (almost Junior) majoring in Elementary Education and Sociology. I love music, dance, hiking, biking, meeting people, reading, writing, and staying busy and active.

Child Care:
I have over seven years of childcare experience, including being a long term nanny. I have watched children from newborns to 14 years old. I have watched up to five children in a home at a time but also been a teacher/director in a children's theatre school where I was in charge of 12-15 children. I absolutley love children, which is why I am studying to become an elementary school teacher. I am also currently volunteering in a fifth grade classroom with "at risk" students to inspire and encourage them to push toward graduating from high school and consider college. I feel that children respond very well to me because I am outgoing, creative, funny, and I know how to bring out my inner child. But I am also very responsible and take child care extremely seriously. I can provide many references for child care experience.

House/Pet Care:
I have been house and pet sitting for over five years. This past summer alone I watched three different houses. I take this job very seriously too. I have ultimate respect for the house and I follow the owners rules and guidelines to the T. I absolutely love animals so having the opportunity to play with and hang out with animals is wonderful for me. I've watched a huge number of different animals ranging from cats to Koi fish to dogs small and large (including an over 100 pound golden retiever "puppy.") I love going on walks and hikes and playing actively with animals.

If you are interested or have any questions please email me! I can provide references, resume, and ID. I also have very reliable trasportation and a relatively flexible school schedule!

Thank you for you time and consideration.
-Jilian
