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.”
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!
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.
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. ”
Hi, my name is Sara. I’m a mom to 2 great kids ages 11 and 9. I am offering childcare, senior care, pet sitting/care, and household services. I have a lot of kid experience, from raising my own, to volunteering at the elementary school, to watching my friend’s kids. I also used to work at an elementary school and with kids in a living history experience. I have been caring for pets through another app for 11 years and have worked as a veterinary technician. I am confident with all animals. I have cooked professionally since 2002 and can accommodate various dietary restrictions. I love kids and animals. With my own kids I try to keep them busy outside or with crafts, and off of screens as much as possible.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
