Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m a special education teacher with 19 years of experience supporting students of all abilities. I’m also the proud mom of an amazing 15-year-old, and I understand how important it is to find someone who is dependable, patient, and genuinely cares about children. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds, including children with special needs, English language learners, and those needing extra academic and emotional support. My experience has helped me develop patience, creativity, and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. As both a teacher and a mom, I know every child is unique. Whether your family needs occasional babysitting, homework help, transportation, or someone to keep your children engaged with games, crafts, reading, or outdoor activities, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I’m reliable, organized, and calm under pressure, and I treat every child with the same kindness, respect, and encouragement that I want for my own. I look forward to helping your family and creating a positive experience for both you and your children!
A Little About Me ❤️ My name is Jahmina (JJ) Mom of 3 kiddos 23, 15, and 7. Born and raised in Washington State, I’m a compassionate, nurturing, and dependable person who has always had a natural gift for caring for others. Being a caretaker isn’t just something I do for work—it’s a part of who I am. I’ve always believed that everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, respected, and loved, whether they have two legs or four! With a professional background in adolescent psychiatric and behavioral health, I’ve gained valuable experience supporting young people through emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. My work has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, understanding, and meeting each individual where they are. My caregiving experience also includes childcare, senior care, and pet care, including supporting individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Whether I’m helping a child learn and grow, providing companionship and support to an older adult, or making sure a beloved pet feels safe and cared for, I approach every responsibility with genuine love and dedication. Outside of caregiving, I’m a down-to-earth Washington girl who values family, kindness, connection, and the little things that make life special. I believe sometimes the greatest difference we can make is simply showing up, lending a helping hand, sharing a smile, or making someone feel less alone. My goal is to provide more than just care—I want to bring comfort, trust, companionship, and peace of mind to the people and families who welcome me into their lives. Because to me, caring for others isn’t just a job. It’s a calling, and it comes straight from the heart. ❤️
“So warm and instantly connected with our 4 year old and 8 month old. Highly recommend ”
For many summers I worked as a camp counselor instructing campers in horseback riding, singing, arts & crafts, and more. I hold a BA in English Literature and I am patient, warm, and fun. In the past 4 years I have cared for infants and toddlers during the day and overnight and I welcome working with older children as well. I enjoy helping young people learn, grow new skills, have fun and regulate emotions. I grew up on a farm and I am more than happy to have dogs/cats in the home while caretaking if they are well-mannered. Thanks for your time!
Hello my name is Liana and I am a junior at the University of Puget Sound. I offer babysitting services for any age, pet sitting, and house sitting. My experience with kids includes being an assistant volleyball coach for middle schoolers, being an English tutor for a 5th grader, babysitting a 4 year old girl, and having a sister that is 10 years younger than me. In addition my experience for petting sitting + house sitting includes taking care of my cousins cat, dog, and house for 3 weeks. Some of the things that I value as a caregiver is being kind, communicative (with parents), engaging, patient, and having fun.
Hi I’m Sara! I have a natural passion for helping others, which is why I find joy in babysitting. With multiple years of experience caring for children, I strive to provide more than just supervision—I aim to be a supportive mentor and a helping hand for your family. Whether it’s assisting with homework, preparing healthy meals, or engaging playtime, I am dedicated to making sure your children feel safe and happy. I love baby sitting because I get to hear all of the cute things kids say and watch them learn. I have over 10+ years of customer service experience and love to cook!
“Sara responded to our last minute posting, and did a great job taking care of our 5 year old, who requested that we have her come back. She was very professional, helpful, got all of our daughter's bedtime routine done, and conversed well with her. We would recommend her to other parents, and plan to ask her to come take care of our daughter again. ”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
