Taralee $22 per hour for 1 child

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.

Kinna $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Ashjanay $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is AJ! I have one child, a 10yo boy, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe environment where they can learn and grow. I have 5+ years of experience working with children of various ages, from toddlers to preteens. I have worked as a CNA in a nursing facility for a few years as well. People often describe me as patient, energetic and dependable. I love activities like arts and crafts, reading time, and outdoor play. I take pride in being attentive and reliable, making sure parents feel confident while they’re away. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy cooking & baking, painting & crocheting, reading and long walks in nature. I often incorporate these into activities with kids as well!

"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!"
