I am a diverse caregiver. I have 8 years of experience with children from ages newborn to 8 years of age as close relations and as well as experience with 10-15 years of age with short term care. I have a son of my own who is now 8 months and I look forward to having more children. I enjoy cooking and living/ working in a clean space , I was also a RA as a full time job. I am a warm positive person with a unique perspective in challenging situations. I enjoy fun activities such art projects, book reading , and math equations. A future goal of mine would be to own a business that can cater to family’s in need.

Elizabeth $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been babysitting and working with children for most of my life, and am at a place where I'm ready to start working for new families again! I have a Masters in Public Health and am finishing up my job running food access programs with the YMCA, where I have been working for the last five years, and am about to go back to school for a nursing degree! I previously have worked as a preschool teacher, before-and after-school childcare provider, and nanny for families with children from infants to teens. For years had families I regularly did date night sitting for, and I looking to get back into that. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and have taught both gymnastics and swim lessons to all ages. I miss working with kids, and am looking forward to getting back into it! I also have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats (and love both!), and am happy to provide pet care as well.

Booked by 1 family in Olalla, 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.”

cameo $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Cameo, and I am a devoted caregiver with extensive experience caring for children and pets. I have three children aged 3 to 11 years, which has deepened my understanding of child development and the importance of a nurturing environment. Additionally, I helped raise my little sister from the age of 16, further enhancing my caregiving skills. I genuinely love working with children and animals, fostering a compassionate and engaging atmosphere for everyone in my care. I prioritize creating a safe and fun environment while promoting growth and learning. I am looking for clients who would also be open to me bringing my 3-year-old with me to jobs, as I believe in fostering strong family bonds and can provide care that accommodates my child’s needs. I am patient, nurturing, and dedicated to making every caregiving experience enriching for the little ones and pets I look after.

"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!"
