Booked by 1 family in Lacey, WA

Hi ! My name Christina, currently offering childcare. Love to take care of and teach kids. I have worked with youth all ages in the Pierce County and King County in education for 10+ years. Makes me happy to also take care of my nieces, nephews, and Godkids 🫶🏼 Additional Services: Light cooking and cleaning 🍽 🧹 Basic American Sign Language and Spanish

“Christina has worked with our family since my son was just a baby; he’s almost 7 years old (I also have a 5 year old now). We first became acquainted because she was my colleague in higher education and I learned she also was a nanny/babysitter. During this time, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Christina better and seeing her nurture my children in such a positive way. I believe that she is well qualified and experienced to accept the challenge of any childcare position. When Christina first started, she watched my infant son so that my husband and I could go out on dates. 20 months later, our daughter was born and Christina soon began watching our two children. This meant her responsibilities increased to watching the two children alone, making meals for them, and taking them on short outings to the park, the swimming pool, the mall, etc. Christina is upbeat and positive but also able to set boundaries with the children. Whenever she cares for them they are very excited to see her. I have the utmost confidence in her judgment and maturity and have always felt comfortable leaving my children in her care. I recommend Christina without reservation.”

Betty $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Betty, and I provide child care, senior care, pet care, and household support services. I am a certified Home Care Aide (HCA) who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating a calm, supportive environment in every home I work in. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Over time, I have developed patience, strong communication, and the ability to adapt to each child’s needs and personality. I enjoy keeping children engaged through creative activities, helping with homework, and building routines that make them feel safe and comfortable. I have also volunteered in tutoring since high school, which has strengthened my ability to support children academically while keeping learning enjoyable. In addition to child care, I have experience in senior care through both training and personal caregiving. I have cared for my own grandparents, which taught me the importance of patience, respect, and companionship. I am comfortable assisting with daily tasks, cooking, transportation, and providing a supportive and respectful presence. I also have experience with pet care, including caring for both my own pets and pets belonging to clients. Since the age of 16, I have owned and cared for both cats and dogs, and I am comfortable supporting senior pets as well. I can assist with feeding, walking, companionship, and maintaining a safe and attentive environment for animals. In addition, I offer household support such as cleaning, organizing, running errands, and meal preparation. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and take pride in creating clean, organized, and peaceful spaces. I would describe myself as caring, reliable, and easy to work with. I bring both professionalism and genuine warmth into everything I do, and my goal is always to make families feel supported, comfortable, and confident in my care.

Alyssa-Marie $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone, I'm Alyssa and currently a student studying at UW. I mostly will be available T/Thursday mornings and M/W/F afternoons to evenings due to my school schedule. I do work another part time job at a hospital so my weekends have to be scheduled a month in advance, though sometimes I will have openings! I work best with shy and artistic kids as I used to be one myself. I am great at keeping an eye on kids, but not great with super high energy kids. I don't drive so I will typically show up 30 minutes in advance, and can't really transport the kids anywhere unless you're wanting me to Uber them. I'm great at winding down kids and getting them to bed, and would be willing to clean up your place afterwards if it's an overnight shift and you mention it. Will always make sure the messes the kids make get cleaned up! I have CPR and First Aid Training for adults. Thanks everyone! 😊

"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!"
