I’m a site coordinator for a before and after school daycare center at one of the primary schools in the University Place school District.

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.

"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!"
