Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on a neurology floor, and I’ve been caring for kids since 2018. I started babysitting back in high school and have worked with children of all ages: from newborns to teens. I’m currently in nursing school, so I take babysitting jobs for date nights and occasional needs. I’m CPR and Basic Life Support certified, calm under pressure, and experienced with medical situations. I’ve worked with infants as young as two weeks, toddlers, school-age kids, pre-teens, and children on the autism spectrum. I love creating a safe, happy, and structured environment where kids feel comfortable and parents can fully relax. A little about me personally: I’m married to my amazing husband, and we have a sweet cat named Oscar. I enjoy doing crafts, reading stories, going outside for walks, cooking simple kid-friendly meals, and helping with homework. I also have reliable transportation and am comfortable with pets. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with; many families describe me as warm, dependable, and great with kids. Whether it’s bedtime routines, bottle feeding, playtime, or simply keeping the evening running smoothly, I’m here to help! Looking forward to supporting your family for date nights, special events, and occasional babysitting needs!

ā€œVery involved and engaged.ā€

I have returned to full-time, school-based work as a Certified Behavior Technician, and I’m passionate about helping children grow into confident, curious, and independent individuals. 🌱 As a caretaker, I love creating a calm, playful, and creative environment where children feel safe to explore, learn, express themselves, and build independence at their own pace. I believe meaningful growth happens through everyday experiences—spending time outdoors, connecting with the community, trying new things, being creative, and having a trusted adult nearby to offer encouragement and support. I am trauma-informed and BLS- and CPR-certified, and I bring patience, compassion, and thoughtful care to every family I work with. Although my professional background as a Certified Behavior Technician informs the care I provide, I do not offer CBT or any other in-home behavioral therapy or services through this platform or any other. When caring for your family member, I am working specifically in the role of a nanny or caretaker. I simply draw on my experience and training to provide informed, compassionate, and attentive care. My current availability is Fridays beginning at 1:45 p.m., as well as all day Saturdays and Sundays. I’d love to chat, learn more about your family and what you’re looking for, and see if we might be a great fit! ā˜€ļø

ā€œBrandi was awesome with my kid. She came on time and kept him engaged.ā€

Hi there! I like to go by Andy. I am three years into a graduate program in School Psychology and I am well-versed in child development and education. I'm caring, patient, flexible, and I love working with kids! I have combined seven years of experience babysitting, tutoring, and working as a peer mentor for school-aged kids, including neurodivergent youth. I have also been counseling and teaching social-emotional lessons to students through my program. I am working full time at an elementary school this year, but looking for part time summer gigs with kids in the Tacoma area between June-Aug.

ā€œAndy was fantastic with our daughter. We appreciated his attention to detail, great communication, and taking the extra effort to tidy up our hectic home. Our kid can’t wait for Andy to come back again.ā€
