Booked by 20 families in Tacoma, 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.”

Booked by 65 families in Tacoma, WA

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!

“Very involved and engaged.”

Booked by 4 families in Tacoma, WA

Welcome to my profile, I’m Kensy, a bilingual (English & Spanish) caregiver with years of hands-on experience supporting children from infancy through school age. I’ve worked as a nanny, daycare assistant, and currently serve as a paraeducator in a dual language elementary school. I’m confident caring for infants, including feeding, changing, naps, and soothing routines, and I truly enjoy helping little ones feel secure and loved. My approach is rooted in patience, creativity, and respect for each child’s individuality. I have experience incorporating Montessori-inspired methods that encourage independence, exploration, and meaningful play. Whether we’re doing arts and crafts, reading, or singing songs, I strive to make each day engaging and enriching. I’m also happy to support families with light household help and simple meal prep. If you’re looking for a dependable, nurturing, and experienced caregiver, I’d love to be a part of your child’s journey!

Booked by 6 families in Tacoma, WA

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. My experience with kids includes being an assistant volleyball coach for middle schoolers, being an English tutor for a 5th grader, babysitting a 4 year old girl, and having a sister that is 10 years younger than me. In addition my experience for petting sitting + house sitting includes taking care of my cousins cat, dog, and house for 3 weeks. Some of the things that I value as a caregiver is being kind, communicative (with parents), engaging, patient, and having fun.
