Hi I’m Sara! I have a natural passion for helping others, which is why I find joy in babysitting. With multiple years of experience caring for children, I strive to provide more than just supervision—I aim to be a supportive mentor and a helping hand for your family. Whether it’s assisting with homework, preparing healthy meals, or engaging playtime, I am dedicated to making sure your children feel safe and happy. I love baby sitting because I get to hear all of the cute things kids say and watch them learn. I have over 10+ years of customer service experience and love to cook!
“Sara responded to our last minute posting, and did a great job taking care of our 5 year old, who requested that we have her come back. She was very professional, helpful, got all of our daughter's bedtime routine done, and conversed well with her. We would recommend her to other parents, and plan to ask her to come take care of our daughter again. ”
For the summer, I am an empty nester as my 4 own children are at Grandparents in Alaska. I have a degree in Elementary Education and Educational services. I like to get outdoors and explore the parks and beaches Tacoma has to offer, as well work on art projects. I have worked in all age classrooms and youth of all ages. Being a mom of four means being on your toes, and knowing each child is different. I have current CPR and first aid credentials and used to working with youth. I have been a girl scout leader the past 9 years and I love dogs.
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 have been caring for children since I was 12. I genuinely enjoy being a caregiver—one child I sat for told his mom, "She actually PLAYED with me!" I'm excited to connect with new families to provide engaging and reliable care for babies, children, and seniors. One of my greatest assets is nearly 20 years of professional experience in medicine. This background ensures I bring an exceptional level of safety, patience, and medical awareness to every family I work with. Additionally, I have extensive experience with house and pet sitting, caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, leopard geckos, hissing cockroaches, and a variety of other exotic and regular family pets. I am passionate about pets of all kinds and am happy to assist with house and/or pet sitting as well. I am dedicated to accommodating your family’s specific needs, ensuring a seamless experience—from school pickups to running errands.
“Elizabeth was extremely reliable and professional. She showed up in a timely manner and helped with meals and light clean up. My child had fun with her and liked her as a sitter. I felt she safely looked after my child and was interested in and happy to help with every day extras that may come along. She is a terrific sitter with experience with babies and todlers too.”
Hello! My name is Katie. I am a dedicated Special Education teacher with a passion for child development and animals. Having transitioned from classroom teaching to in-home family support for toddlers with developmental delays, I excel at creating engaging, customized activities. With over four years of experience at a large Child Development Center and a lifetime of nurturing my own (now grown) child and fur babies, Jared and Marc, I bring patience, empathy, and reliability to every family I work with. My CPR Certification and BBP certifications are always kept completely current. I would love to use my free time to connect with your family—please reach out with any questions!
