Hi! My name is Alicia, I’m 24 years old and was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington. My ethnicity is Native American, Korean and White. I graduated from Chief Leschi Schools and have always been active in sports, especially basketball and volleyball, which I still enjoy today. My current hobbies include going to the gym, video games, and cars.
I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as a licensed and insured driver. I would describe myself as fun, caring, dependable, patient, clean, organized, and highly communicative.
I have 3 years of paid childcare experience, but caregiving has been part of my life for much longer. Growing up, I helped care for my three younger siblings due to my mother raising us as a single parent. Helping with younger children from my teenage years taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and loving environment.
I genuinely love caregiving and being someone families can trust and rely on. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, stay active, and feel comfortable. I understand every child has different needs and personalities, and I enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents. Seeing children happy, supported, and safe in my care is something I find very rewarding.
I have experience caring for up to 3 children at once for 8-hour days, with ages ranging from 11 months to 5 years old, but I’m comfortable caring for older children as well. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, meal preparation, activities, and everyday childcare responsibilities.
In addition to childcare, I’m available for pet care, including watching dogs and cats, walks, feeding, and bathing. I also genuinely enjoy cleaning and staying organized, so helping with light household tasks such as dishes, laundry, vacuuming, mopping, and tidying up is never a problem.
I take pride in creating a safe, caring, fun, and organized environment for children, pets, and families. I understand how important trust, communication, and reliability are when allowing someone into your home, and I strive to be someone families feel comfortable depending on.
