Hello Everyone! My name is Emma and I am offering occasional babysitting services!

I am ONLY available for occasional/date night babysitting opportunities in University Place/Tacoma/Lakewood area! *I am fully vaccinated against covid* I am currently employed at University Place School District as a Para-Educator in the Transitional Kindergarten program! With that I am only available for date night care. I am the oldest of 4 kids with all of many different ages (22,13 and 12). Way back to 2011 my dad lost his job when the economy tanked he went back to school while my mom was the only working and we had 2 big surprises pop up! She had my brother and my sister durning this time which made me grow into a bigger role of big sister/babysitter/2nd mom. Therefore I have experience with all ages and even children with disabilities. For 3 years I worked at the Morgan YMCA teaching swim lessons to all ages (6months-adults), did lifeguarding and also participated in a swim program called Swimming for Exceptional Children. I am no longer certified still in lifeguarding. However, I am certified in CPR/AED, First Aid, and Oxygen. Through my previous job at the Morgan YMCA I have taking training courses such as child abuse prevention, sexual harassment, blood born pathogens, hazard communication, ALICE, listen first and much more. I am non-smoking, have references, have access to a car/have a license, as well as willing to take a background check or do an interview prior to occasional babysitting gig.

I have been an elementary school teacher for the past three years, worked for almost a year at a pre-school, as well as with infants and toddlers for almost 7 years in a church nursery on Sundays. I just graduated from Columbia with my Masters in Social Work. For my undergrad, I graduated from Duke, with a major in History, and a double minor in Education, and Psychology. I have babysat infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary aged children for years. I am responsible for taking care of their physical needs, including changing diapers, playing with them, as well as preparing snacks and meals. I love to get on the floor and play, as I am not a person who just sticks kids in front of the TV. I have helped with play dates, pick-up and drop-off at school, transported kids using the subway and bus, as well as taken kids to the park. I have also worked in an after school and summer camp for a little over 3 years, working with students in K-5. I taught swimming, tennis, and created art and craft activities for the campers. I am a very energetic person, and I am great with kids. I play tennis, and I am an excellent swimmer. I have my CPR and First Aid certification, as well as Lifeguard and Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certifications. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I have references available on request.

I used to work for a public school district for many years. I have previous experience working in the infant/toddler room and school age children at La Petite Academy Daycare. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which I believe is a plus point, since handling children requires a sitter to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. I am able to drive children to school and accompany them at medical appointments. I am well-versed in performing housework related to childcare, including washing clothes, cleaning up after meals, and tidying up play areas. I don't mind planning and preparing nutritious meals for children according to their tastes and nutritional needs. I enjoy playing with children and helping them develop skills by creating a stimulating environment. My goal is to provide a nurturing and safe environment for children. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I don't mind pets at all!

Catherine A.
- 5 years paid experience

Hello Parents and Guardians, My name is Catherine, and I am 26 years old. I have been babysitting since I was 10, taking care of children for family, friends, and neighbors. From 2014 to 2017, I worked as both a teacher and babysitter at my church, and I have experience as a teacher's secretary for kindergarten, first grade, and sixth grade. I am comfortable working with children ranging from newborns to 13 years old. My goal is to create a safe and enjoyable environment for the children in my care. I understand that children are incredibly precious to their parents, and being apart can be challenging for both parents and children, whether it’s for work, date nights, or personal time. That is why it is crucial to have a trustworthy caregiver. I want to assure you that I will love, care for, and protect your child as if they were my own. I will engage children in various activities, including reading books, having conversations, singing and dancing, doing arts and crafts, and creating games or pretend play, such as cooking or teaching. If needed, I can also prepare meals or bake for them. I am CPR certified and hold a food handler's card, and I have completed early childhood education certification. I am also comfortable working with pets around. Thank you for considering me! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
