Hello there, I have worked with teenagers and kids for years. I have been a scout at a modeling agency for close to 20 years now where I have successfully mentored and guided young aspiring models through their personal and professional journeys. I pride myself on being an open and effective communicator, and I am passionate about continuous learning and development. In addition, I have been a trusted housesitter for almost a decade, utilizing the TrustedHousesitters platform to travel while providing exceptional care for elderly pets. I am skilled in administering medication and dedicated to giving extra attention and nurturing to animals in need of special TLC. A compassionate heart, an unwavering attention to detail and a hard work ethic are my biggest strengths.
I am 28 years old. I have worked with children from infants through school age. Former teacher at Kindercare, and am background checked through the Department of Early Learning. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant in the state of Washington. I am also CPR certified for infants through adults. I love story time and tasks that use the children’s imaginations. I have a passion for helping children learn new things and grow. I also love taking the children to the park, zoo, etc. so they can have fun and use up their energy in a positive way. I am also a mother of two and my oldest is level 2 on the autism spectrum and has adhd so I do have lots of experience with special needs as well.
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!
Hi my name is Shalyn! I’m a psychology major at CWU and am getting my degree through their online program so my schedule is very flexible. My dream job is an elementary school counselor. I am offering childcare, pet care, help with household needs and running errands. I have a car and a spotless driving record. I am wilderness first responder certified, which includes emergency first aid, rescue training and CPR a certification. I am the oldest kid of my parents friend group and the oldest grandchild so I have been watching after my younger sister, cousins and neighbors most of my life, but I have officially started babysitting (aka getting paid) since I was 14. I have worked with kids from ages 2 to 12. I have experience with potty training, changing diapers and children with allergies. I also have experience with working with kids with additional needs. I am knowledgeable and capable of creating fun craft projects and educational activities suitable for ages 2 to 12. My family has had dogs and cats my entire life and I’m extremely comfortable around them and love them a bunch. I am also comfortable around any other animal. I have experience cleaning and generally upkeep of a house. I also have a lot of experience cooking and baking and I have been told that I am very good.
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. ❤️
