Hi! My name is Naleah, and I’m 18 years old. I attend Tumwater High School and have experience working with children as a former Teacher’s Assistant in a third-grade classroom at Southworth Elementary School during my junior year. I currently work at Olive Garden as a host, where I’ve built strong communication and responsibility skills. I love helping children, creating a fun and safe environment, and I hope to pursue a future career working with kids!

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.

Hello, my name is Jessica. I am a mother to a beautiful 7 month old baby girl. I have 2 dogs and a turtle and love to garden, cook, and read. I have over 25 years experience caring for children of all ages, children with disabilities, animals and the elderly. Most recently I have cared for a 4 year old boy with OI (brittle bone disease) and have provided hospice care for both of my recently passed grandparents. I am trustworthy, caring, empathetic, fun and responsible!

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 have a Master of Education and have been working with children for over ten years. I am kind and provide joyful experiences for kids while they are with me. I look forward to caring for your child/children while you are away.
