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.

Booked by 20 families in Vaughn, WA

A Little About Me ❤️ My name is Jahmina (JJ) Mom of 3 kiddos 23, 15, and 7. Born and raised in Washington State, I’m a compassionate, nurturing, and dependable person who has always had a natural gift for caring for others. Being a caretaker isn’t just something I do for work—it’s a part of who I am. I’ve always believed that everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, respected, and loved, whether they have two legs or four! With a professional background in adolescent psychiatric and behavioral health, I’ve gained valuable experience supporting young people through emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. My work has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, understanding, and meeting each individual where they are. My caregiving experience also includes childcare, senior care, and pet care, including supporting individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Whether I’m helping a child learn and grow, providing companionship and support to an older adult, or making sure a beloved pet feels safe and cared for, I approach every responsibility with genuine love and dedication. Outside of caregiving, I’m a down-to-earth Washington girl who values family, kindness, connection, and the little things that make life special. I believe sometimes the greatest difference we can make is simply showing up, lending a helping hand, sharing a smile, or making someone feel less alone. My goal is to provide more than just care—I want to bring comfort, trust, companionship, and peace of mind to the people and families who welcome me into their lives. Because to me, caring for others isn’t just a job. It’s a calling, and it comes straight from the heart. ❤️

“Incredibly professional and caring. Would book again. My son had a great time and she was very communicative.”

Hello my name is Liana and I am a junior at the University of Puget Sound. I offer babysitting services for any age, pet sitting, and house sitting.

In addition my experience for petting sitting + house sitting includes taking care of my cousins cat, dog, and house for 3 weeks.

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 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.
