Hello my name is Haely I'm a dental assistant offering child care & household services. I'm 21 years old and have 10+ years of experience caring for children from ages newborn to kids. I’m attentive to children’s needs, enjoy creating fun and engaging activities, and understand the importance of safety, routines, and clear communication. I’m responsible, organized, and happy to help with meals, light household tasks, homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. I treat every child with kindness and respect and strive to create a safe, positive environment where they can feel comfortable and have fun. I have my license and CPR Certification.
Hello, my name is Noemi I have over 10 years of childcare experience, this includes, babysitting, nannying, tutoring, and teaching English in Spain. I am kind, patient, and reliable. I am skilled in providing a safe and nurturing environment and implementing creative and educational activities. I am comfortable working with children of all ages, cooking and preparing meals, and organizing craft and education activities.
Hi! I have a wealth of experience working with kids, mainly in a school setting. I've been an Elementary School Teacher for the last 10 years: including 5 years as a kindergarten teacher, experience in 1st grade, 3rd grade and even middle school. I've also been an art teacher for K-4 and taught adventure sports summer camps for 10-15yo. I'm also a father of two terrific girls, a grown 21yo and a 3yo toddler. That gives me lots of recent hands-on experience with infants and toddlers.
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. I have been employed at University Place Latchkey since 2015 when I was hired on as a teacher’s assistant. Looking for a family to help out during the day in between my splits.
A Little About Me ❤️ My name is Jahmina (JJ) Mom of 3 kiddos 23, 15, and 7. Born and raised in Washington State, I’m a compassionate, nurturing, and dependable person who has always had a natural gift for caring for others. Being a caretaker isn’t just something I do for work—it’s a part of who I am. I’ve always believed that everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, respected, and loved, whether they have two legs or four! With a professional background in adolescent psychiatric and behavioral health, I’ve gained valuable experience supporting young people through emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. My work has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, understanding, and meeting each individual where they are. My caregiving experience also includes childcare, senior care, and pet care, including supporting individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Whether I’m helping a child learn and grow, providing companionship and support to an older adult, or making sure a beloved pet feels safe and cared for, I approach every responsibility with genuine love and dedication. Outside of caregiving, I’m a down-to-earth Washington girl who values family, kindness, connection, and the little things that make life special. I believe sometimes the greatest difference we can make is simply showing up, lending a helping hand, sharing a smile, or making someone feel less alone. My goal is to provide more than just care—I want to bring comfort, trust, companionship, and peace of mind to the people and families who welcome me into their lives. Because to me, caring for others isn’t just a job. It’s a calling, and it comes straight from the heart. ❤️

"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!"
