Find an emergency babysitter in Centralia, WA

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!

I have more than 20 years experience caring for children in both a home and school setting. I raised children of my own, and had a small home daycare before they were school age. I then began working in the school system. I currently work as a certified behavior technician in Pierce county schools. As a caretaker, I love creating a calm, playful, and creative environment where children feel safe to explore, learn, express themselves, and build independence at their own pace. I believe meaningful growth happens through everyday experiences—spending time outdoors, connecting with the community, trying new things, being creative, and having a trusted adult nearby to offer encouragement and support. I am trauma-informed, BT, BLS- and CPR-certified. I bring patience, compassion, and thoughtful care to every family I work with. Although my professional background as a Certified Behavior Technician informs the care I provide, I do not offer CBT or any other in-home behavioral therapy or services through this platform or any other. When caring for your family member, I am working specifically in the role of a nanny or caretaker. I simply draw on my experience and training to provide informed, compassionate, and attentive care. My current availability is Monday and Wednesday 3:30-12:00am, Fridays beginning at 1:45 p.m., and all day Saturdays and Sundays. I’d love to chat, learn more about your family and what you’re looking for, and see if we might be a great fit! ☀️

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. ❤️

Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on a neurology floor, and I’ve been caring for kids since 2018. I started babysitting back in high school and have worked with children of all ages: from newborns to teens. I’m currently in nursing school, so I take babysitting jobs for date nights and occasional needs. I’m CPR and Basic Life Support certified, calm under pressure, and experienced with medical situations. I’ve worked with infants as young as two weeks, toddlers, school-age kids, pre-teens, and children on the autism spectrum. I love creating a safe, happy, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and parents can fully relax. A little about me personally: I’m married to my amazing husband, and we have a sweet cat named Oscar. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going outside for walks, cooking simple kid-friendly meals, and helping with homework. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable with pets. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with; many families describe me as warm, dependable, and great with kids. Whether it’s bedtime routines, bottle feeding, playtime, or simply keeping the evening running smoothly, I’m here to help! Looking forward to supporting your family for date nights, special events, and occasional babysitting needs!

Welcome to my profile, I’m Kensy, a bilingual (English & Spanish) caregiver with years of hands-on experience supporting children from infancy through school age.
