A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Mikyla and I am a 28 year old Bellingham native with around 18 years of experience caring for children, 11 years professionally. I have 4 younger siblings (all of which I am at least 10 years older than) who I have helped raise, alongside my mother. I have been both a part-time and full-time nanny since I was 17. I have plenty of experience caring for children of all ages, especially newborns, infants, and toddlers. I have experience caring for multiple children at once, and am great at multitasking. I am extremely organized and love to cook and especially clean, so if housekeeping is a part of your needs, I can definitely help there! I am confident that I will be a great help to your family if you give me the chance! Please message me with any questions, I would love to get the chance to meet your family!

A little bit about me

I am a 23-year-old from Lynden, Washington. I have done volleyball, soccer, cheerleading and track. I have over five years of experience providing care for children, pets, and homes. I began babysitting my younger brother at age 14, which grew into a passion for nurturing others. I’ve babysat for families with 1-4 children, ages toddler to 13, and provided Spanish tutoring. I have also cared for pets of all sizes, watered plants, and assisted with housekeeping. Volunteering at Lynden Christian Healthcare Center, I enjoyed supporting elders through games, puzzles, and companionship. My natural nurturing ability and dedication to caring for others make me reliable and compassionate in every role I take on.

A little bit about me

My names Lila and I’m 22 years old, I’m currently taking some time to figure out which path I’d like to peruse before returning to college and because of my passion for childcare I thought it would be a perfect time to continue while I choose what my next move will be. In my free time I enjoy art, taking my dog on walks in our local parks or on the hiking trails around town. I’m located near Blodel Donavan park but do drive so location is not a problem. I’d love to work with your family and appreciate your consideration! 😊
