Find a babysitter in Lakewood, WA

Hi! I have a wealth of experience working with kids, mainly in a school setting. I've been an Elementary School Teacher for the last 10 years: including 5 years as a kindergarten teacher, experience in 1st grade, 3rd grade and even middle school. I've also been an art teacher for K-4 and taught adventure sports summer camps for 10-15yo. I'm also a father of two terrific girls, a grown 21yo and a 3yo toddler. That gives me lots of recent hands-on experience with infants and toddlers.

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.

I’m a site coordinator for a before and after school daycare center at one of the primary schools in the University Place school District. I have been employed at University Place Latchkey since 2015 when I was hired on as a teacher’s assistant. Looking for a family to help out during the day in between my splits.

Hi, my name is Betty, and I provide child care, senior care, pet care, and household support services. I am a certified Home Care Aide (HCA) who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating a calm, supportive environment in every home I work in. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Over time, I have developed patience, strong communication, and the ability to adapt to each child’s needs and personality. I enjoy keeping children engaged through creative activities, helping with homework, and building routines that make them feel safe and comfortable. I have also volunteered in tutoring since high school, which has strengthened my ability to support children academically while keeping learning enjoyable. In addition to child care, I have experience in senior care through both training and personal caregiving. I have cared for my own grandparents, which taught me the importance of patience, respect, and companionship. I am comfortable assisting with daily tasks, cooking, transportation, and providing a supportive and respectful presence. I also have experience with pet care, including caring for both my own pets and pets belonging to clients. Since the age of 16, I have owned and cared for both cats and dogs, and I am comfortable supporting senior pets as well. I can assist with feeding, walking, companionship, and maintaining a safe and attentive environment for animals. In addition, I offer household support such as cleaning, organizing, running errands, and meal preparation. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and take pride in creating clean, organized, and peaceful spaces. I would describe myself as caring, reliable, and easy to work with. I bring both professionalism and genuine warmth into everything I do, and my goal is always to make families feel supported, comfortable, and confident in my care.
