I am a stay-at-home mom to a 4-year-old and 10-month-old. I have a background in IT Risk & Compliance, Bookkeeping, and Early Child Development.

Things we love include, library visits, playground time, arts and crafts, baking, visits to the Y, and even mini history lessons— I try to make everyday moments fun and educational. Services I offer: • Babysitting (children) and companion sitting (seniors) (can incorporate Spanish) • Light cooking (simple, easy meals) • Errands • Light cleaning (cleaning products provided by client) A bit more about me: I’m passionate about traveling, music, soccer, going on walks, and trying new activities — especially with my kids.

Taralee $22 per hour for 1 child

For the summer, I am an empty nester as my 4 own children are at Grandparents in Alaska. I have a degree in Elementary Education and Educational services. I like to get outdoors and explore the parks and beaches Tacoma has to offer, as well work on art projects. I have worked in all age classrooms and youth of all ages. Being a mom of four means being on your toes, and knowing each child is different. I have current CPR and first aid credentials and used to working with youth. I have been a girl scout leader the past 9 years and I love dogs.

Kinna $20 per hour for 1 child

I'm a single woman from Chicago who lived overseas in Europe for years and worked as a live-out full-time nanny for 4 years as well as many years of babysitting toddlers and school age children. I speak English and French, but have a basic understanding of Spanish, German , Dutch, Mandarin and Russian. School runs, outside activity/class runs, in-home activities, meals and light errands are all ok! I have a background in both dance and studio art (as well as a psychology degree), so creative fun is an easy ask.
