Rebecca $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Rebecca (I also go by Beck) and I am offering childcare and pet care services. I have been involved in various aspects of childcare for many years from volunteering in preschool and elementary classrooms to babysitting and being a stay-at-home carer for my nephews. In the past I have worked with children from young infancy to preteen age. For the last several years I've worked professionally in theatre costume shops and theatre camps so if you have a crafty kiddo I have a lot I can share! Pets have always been a part of my life and at one point I was studying to become a vet tech. I have the most experience with large dog breeds but I am comfortable with any breed. I am also available for cat sitting.

Christine $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother and a grandmother. I raised my three children with love, devotion, a sense of humor, surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. They are all well adjusted adults. I have also been a caregiver/babysitter for two of my four grandchildren as a regular job, on Bainbridge Island and have taken care of all my grandchildren throughout their lives on many different occasions. I have also been a caregiver for the elderly for the past 6 years for a company that just closed its doors, unfortunately. I have two cats and have had cats all my life. They love me and I love them.

Patty $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of four wonderful children and a grandmother of 13. When my children were small, I had a daycare business in my home so I could be at home for my own children as well. I have a deep love and respect for children and I delight in their pure and unique personalities. I also love older people and respect their significance and wisdom in the world. I am healthy and strong and would love to be of help to others.

Jennifer $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m a special education teacher with 19 years of experience supporting students of all abilities. I’m also the proud mom of an amazing 15-year-old, and I understand how important it is to find someone who is dependable, patient, and genuinely cares about children. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds, including children with special needs, English language learners, and those needing extra academic and emotional support. My experience has helped me develop patience, creativity, and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. As both a teacher and a mom, I know every child is unique. Whether your family needs occasional babysitting, homework help, transportation, or someone to keep your children engaged with games, crafts, reading, or outdoor activities, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I’m reliable, organized, and calm under pressure, and I treat every child with the same kindness, respect, and encouragement that I want for my own. I look forward to helping your family and creating a positive experience for both you and your children!

Booked by 58 families in Tracyton, WA

I have experience babysitting children ranging from 18 months up to 13 years, including kids with ADHD and ASD. I'm a pretty calm and easygoing guy, and always make an effort to engage with the kids I watch. I’m a pretty active person and like to get the kids outside when I can; bike rides, lava monster and soccer are frequent activities. While I personally enjoy physical activities, I'm always happy to take it easy and break out some table games or crafts for a quiet night in. I am comfortable with pets as well. P.S. I completed my bachelor's in March ’22, and am currently searching for work in the communications field.

"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!"
