Jodi $31 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jodi, and I’ve been a nanny since 2020 after spending nearly 30 years working in the dental field. Making the transition to childcare has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made, My specialty is caring for infants and toddlers, particularly babies from 5 months to 3 years old. I love watching little ones grow, reach new milestones, explore the world around them, and develop their own little personalities. There’s nothing better than helping a child feel safe, loved, and happy! I understand how important it is for parents to feel completely comfortable leaving their little ones in someone else’s care. I strive to provide a nurturing, attentive, and laid back presence while building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with. A little about me personally: I’ve been happily married for 25 years, and my husband and I have a daughter who is almost 18 and a senior in high school. Family is very important to me, and I bring that same caring, patient, and thoughtful approach to the families I work with. I also have great references

Booked by 3 families in Black Diamond, WA

Hi families! I’m Dakaysia (Kaysia), I have one child (7 years old) and I’ve spent many years babysitting and caring for kids of all ages including handling multiple children at once. I’m a calm, patient person who genuinely enjoys being around kids and creating a fun, safe space for them. I also have personal experience caring for my autistic nephew, which has helped me learn how to be extra understanding, flexible, and supportive with different needs and personalities. I’m really good at reading the room, keeping routines smooth, and making sure every child feels comfortable and included. With my background in serving and bartending, I’m great at multitasking, staying organized, and keeping things running even when it’s a little hectic. Whether we’re doing crafts, homework, playing games, or winding down for bedtime, I show up with a positive attitude and a lot of patience. I’m reliable, easy to talk to, and always try to make things easier for parents. Whether you need occasional help or more regular support, I’d love to connect with your family. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your little ones! I have plenty of professional and personal references I can provide upon request.

“Kaysia is calm, protective, professional and sweet person who came in and care for our newborn as if she known us for a long time. Hard days or good days, she showed up and will get it done so I can work and keep my little one close to me during the precious time. Booking her if you want someone care for the kids as her own. Ans she stays calm even on the chaotic days! Thank you Kaysia!”
