$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Gig Harbor, WA

Hi I’m Sara! I have a natural passion for helping others, which is why I find joy in babysitting. With multiple years of experience caring for children, I strive to provide more than just supervision—I aim to be a supportive mentor and a helping hand for your family. Whether it’s assisting with homework, preparing healthy meals, or engaging playtime, I am dedicated to making sure your children feel safe and happy. I love baby sitting because I get to hear all of the cute things kids say and watch them learn. I have over 10+ years of customer service experience and love to cook!

Sara responded to our last minute posting, and did a great job taking care of our 5 year old, who requested that we have her come back. She was very professional, helpful, got all of our daughter's bedtime routine done, and conversed well with her. We would recommend her to other parents, and plan to ask her to come take care of our daughter again.

Shalyn $18 per hour for 1 child

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.

Perry $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have a wealth of experience working with kids, mainly in a school setting. I've been an Elementary School Teacher for the last 10 years: including 5 years as a kindergarten teacher, experience in 1st grade, 3rd grade and even middle school. I've also been an art teacher for K-4 and taught adventure sports summer camps for 10-15yo. I'm also a father of two terrific girls, a grown 21yo and a 3yo toddler. That gives me lots of recent hands-on experience with infants and toddlers.
