Hello! Currently I'm a student at Western Washington University, and am looking for babysitting jobs to keep me busy throughout the year while in Bellingham. I have been babysitting since around 12yrs old after I took my first babysitting class! I have spent three summers volunteering at our covenant camp working with children ranging from 2nd grade-9th grade. And before college, worked my junior and senior year as an after school teacher at Bellevue Montessori Preschool. Young children are my passion, but am able to work with all ages of kids! My regular family has three very rowdy children who are now 6, 7 & 9 (started watching when the first was only 4) and after working with them for so many years I feel as though I can handle whatever comes my way. I have never ending energy which seems to work in my favor when playing with kids, Read more whatever we might chose to do always have a blast! Arts and crafts, building forts, swimming, playing at the park, all a favorite of mine. I would love to meet some new families, contact me if you think I would be a good fit. Thanks!

We highly recommend Kara. She worked as our nanny this summer. She is 100% reliable and great with the kids. The house was always cleaner than I left it and the kids loved doing art projects, playing outside, board games, etc. She responds right away to email/texts and is a mature, professional and loving influence on the kids. We will sure miss her when she goes back to school.
