I began babysitting when I was a teenager. I cared for infants, toddlers and school aged children. I had my own child and never hired a babysitter! I was fortunate to be able to stay home with her and homeschool her and I loved every minute of it! I volunteered at a forest school for 3 years, helping and having fun with 3-5 year olds and conducting nature projects with the the 6-14 year olds. I have also helped care for 5 of my grandparents, running errands, helping with projects and playing lots of board games! They were some of my favorite people! I have done pet sitting in their own home and also on our farm. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, chickens, llamas, horses, goats ducks, geese and even a python! I love animals! I have managed my own home as well as a vacation rental. I am flexible, reliable and willing to follow instructions as well as improvise when needed. I am looking forward to working with you!

Hello! I currently work with the Clover Park school district as a Para-educator. I supervise recess and lunch for elementary students as well as one on one help in kindergarten classes. So lots of experience with a lot of different kinds of kids! Momma of a 14 year old kiddo so I’ve been through that whole ordeal too. I also have a wide experience in animal care as I operate a small farm with chickens rabbits ducks fish cats frogs and crabs - and a Peahen! Experience with dogs as well.

Hi, my name is Renatha, I'm 29 and I'm from Brazil. I've been here in the US for almost 7 years. I have a 3yo girl and a 18mo boy. I can either bring one of them as a playmate or they can stay at home with grandma. When taking care of kids I like playing and interacting with them, reading books and sometimes I try to teach some Portuguese. Arts and crafts is usually their favorite, along with going to a playground nearby.. I like letting the kids explore and have fun, even if that means they get a little dirty (of course, with the families that are okay with that). My favorite thing to do is hiking and learning about plants. Every hike I bring along my plants book and I always find something interesting and new. I've learned some plants are eatable, some are medicinal and some are poisonous. Now I know which plants to stay away and which to have it around. My favorite hike was an amazing 3 day hike, 37 miles round trip to a blue glacier right in the middle of the Olympic national forest. That was amazing! *** I do have a bad review, I had to cancel short notice. My car was just not starting and jumping didn't help it. Since then I've got it fixed and I have no more problems with it. ***

She’s been awesome! We’ve hired her long term after the first few days we had hired her. She goes out to play, crafts and food for our little one and she loves her!

Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on a neurology floor, and I’ve been caring for kids since 2018. I started babysitting back in high school and have worked with children of all ages: from newborns to teens. I’m currently in nursing school, so I take babysitting jobs for date nights and occasional needs. I’m CPR and Basic Life Support certified, calm under pressure, and experienced with medical situations. I’ve worked with infants as young as two weeks, toddlers, school-age kids, pre-teens, and children on the autism spectrum. I love creating a safe, happy, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and parents can fully relax. A little about me personally: I’m married to my amazing husband, and we have a sweet cat named Oscar. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going outside for walks, cooking simple kid-friendly meals, and helping with homework. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable with pets. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with; many families describe me as warm, dependable, and great with kids. Whether it’s bedtime routines, bottle feeding, playtime, or simply keeping the evening running smoothly, I’m here to help! Looking forward to supporting your family for date nights, special events, and occasional babysitting needs!

Very involved and engaged.

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!
