A little bit about me

Have extensive experience caring for children. I babysat my own nephews and nieces from age of 10 years.
Then went into childcare for neighborhood families. I’ve worked for YMCA childcare drop off center, Pillsbury Neighborhood Community Center as a Childcare Assistant. I enjoyed courses in college on Child Psychology. I am a grateful Mom of 4 grown children.

Making food, meal time enjoyable, allowing them to join in, to stir if they want to, set the table.
Lots of positive talking and attention, during this whole time.
Books, encouragement for reading.
Encouraging to color or paint.
Enjoy rocking them, comforting them and helping to soothe them if they’re having a hard time.

The most important part about being a nanny...

In childcare, for me, the most important part is that the kids are cared for, safe and comfortable with me.
It’s a truly great feeling when kids seem to begin to bond and warm up to me, to ask me for help in getting them a drink or whatever, maybe to read to them, play with their favorite toys.
To me, that means they are beginning to have some trust building in me.
I believe it’s also extremely important as a nanny to reassure parents, to help parents be able to relax as much as possible and to know that their kids, that they’ve entrusted to me, are going to be well taken care of and safe.

My experience with special needs children...

Children at YMCA sometimes had ADHD.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Favorite childcare moment-Singing fun kid songs in a small group with my tiny group in my small home daycare. They were all so little and trying to say the words just right and of course, not getting them down. Very sweet. Happy memories.

Adrionna M. - Seeking Work in La Center

Live-In Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in La Center, WA: Adrionna M.

Hello! My name is Adrionna McClellan and I’m a Senior at Battle Ground High School. I’ve been a varsity cheerleader for the past four years, competition dancer, a part of ASB and assistant softball coach, so I absolutely LOVE kids and have always found a soft spot into my heart for children. As I’m graduating this June I’m trying to live it to the fullest. I will be moving out at the beginning for August to WSU in Pullman, so taking on a job as a nanny will allow me to get money for college and move into my dorm.

Ginger B. - Seeking Work in La Center

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in La Center, WA: Ginger B.

I am an experienced babysitter looking for part or full-time work (~20-30hrs/wk). I love working with children because children see the world in a way that I wish I still could! I love learning and I love teaching. I have a play-based philosophy when it comes to learning and teaching. It is important to me that a family shares my values: learning, compassion and time outdoors. I am a good cook and love to tidy, so I'll be happy to do meal prep and light house keeping while working with your family. I will be going on a trip to Scotland in September so will be available to start in early October. On a similar note, I have a small photography business with a couple of bookings this fall that I can’t reschedule (they were made over a year ago). Moving forward, these booking will be run by the family I work with to make sure schedules work for everyone :)
