Hello! I babysat through most of college, primarily ages 18 months to 4 years but up to 9 years. In high school, I occasionally babysat an infant, toddler, and preschooler over the course of about two years. I really enjoy spending time with little ones and getting to help them develop their skills. I currently work as a case manager for foster youth and I'm looking to pick up occasional evening shifts to help me through grad school.

Elizabeth 1 review
Tacoma
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have been caring for children since I was 12. I genuinely enjoy being a caregiver—one child I sat for told his mom, "She actually PLAYED with me!" I'm excited to connect with new families to provide engaging and reliable care for babies, children, and seniors. One of my greatest assets is nearly 20 years of professional experience in medicine. This background ensures I bring an exceptional level of safety, patience, and medical awareness to every family I work with. Additionally, I have extensive experience with house and pet sitting, caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, leopard geckos, hissing cockroaches, and a variety of other exotic and regular family pets. I am passionate about pets of all kinds and am happy to assist with house and/or pet sitting as well. I am dedicated to accommodating your family’s specific needs, ensuring a seamless experience—from school pickups to running errands.

Elizabeth was extremely reliable and professional. She showed up in a timely manner and helped with meals and light clean up. My child had fun with her and liked her as a sitter. I felt she safely looked after my child and was interested in and happy to help with every day extras that may come along. She is a terrific sitter with experience with babies and todlers too.
