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.
Hi my name is Shalyn! I’m a psychology major at CWU and am getting my degree through their online program so my schedule is very flexible. My dream job is an elementary school counselor. I am offering childcare, pet care, help with household needs and running errands. I have a car and a spotless driving record. I am wilderness first responder certified, which includes emergency first aid, rescue training and CPR a certification. I am the oldest kid of my parents friend group and the oldest grandchild so I have been watching after my younger sister, cousins and neighbors most of my life, but I have officially started babysitting (aka getting paid) since I was 14. I have worked with kids from ages 2 to 12. I have experience with potty training, changing diapers and children with allergies. I also have experience with working with kids with additional needs. I am knowledgeable and capable of creating fun craft projects and educational activities suitable for ages 2 to 12. My family has had dogs and cats my entire life and I’m extremely comfortable around them and love them a bunch. I am also comfortable around any other animal. I have experience cleaning and generally upkeep of a house. I also have a lot of experience cooking and baking and I have been told that I am very good.
Hi! My name is Maddie, and I offer child care, pet care, senior care, and household support. I’m currently looking for occasional, one-off, or part-time work to supplement my income and support families who need a reliable extra set of hands. I grew up booked and busy as a babysitter and nanny, and caring for others has always come naturally to me. My experience includes driving to/from activities, organizing arts & crafts/fun learning experiences, tutoring/homework help, cooking meals, and keeping children engaged, safe, and happy. For 6 years I worked as a swim coach, coaching children ages 5 - 18 and introducing infants and toddlers (ages 1 - 4) to the pool. These experiences helped me develop strong skills in supervision, patience, communication, and adapting to different ages and personalities. Professionally, I’ve spent the last 10 years as an Executive Assistant to CEOs, where I honed my organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. I’m proactive, calm under pressure, and intuitive about anticipating needs - skills that translate into caregiving and household support. I’m also an animal lover through and through. I grew up with dogs, lived with a cat after college, and have no allergies. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic care, and giving pets lots of attention. Lastly, I was a caretaker for my grandmother for a short time - assisting with basic senior care including cooking, transportation to appointments, and companionship (I’m a great cribbage partner!). I’m dependable, respectful, and genuinely enjoy helping and supporting others. I was raised in a household where everyone pitched in, so I’m very comfortable with cooking, cleaning, errands, and general household help. Whether you need childcare, pet care, senior assistance, or help keeping things running smoothly, I’m happy to step in. I look forward to connecting!
I’m currently completing my pre-med while working per diem at a peritoneal dialysis (PD) kidney center. I’m CPR/BLS certified and live in Seattle near Alki Beach. I’m responsible and have five years of experience in childcare, working with children ages 2-15, as well as caring for my seven siblings growing up. I enjoy cooking, painting, and music, and I’m an outgoing person.
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!
