Hello Everyone! My name is Emma and I am offering occasional babysitting services! I’m your typically 25 year old trying to make some extra income.I have my Associates of the Arts degree, Associates of the Arts in Teachers Education as well as a certificate in business management. 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. Feel free to message me with any comments, questions or concerns! 😊

Sarahi was wonderful with our 3-year-old son! She was hired so last minute because we had a gap in our regular coverage and filled in seamlessly. Very professional and was even able to put our son down for his nap (which is sometimes difficult at this age). Thank you, Sarahi!

My husband and I have four children and six grandchildren! We believe that children are a gift from God, so nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's something I genuinely love to do! With 30 years of experience caring for children aged 0-17, I find immense joy in fostering their growth and development. My approach is patient, kind, and gentle, creating a safe and supportive environment for your little one. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and happy to provide regular updates on your child through texts or phone calls, if desired, in addition to verbal communication at the end of our time together. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I am First Aid and CPR certified as of December 13th, 2025. I am happy to help with carpooling and light housekeeping, and would love to babysit so you the parent/parents can get a day/night off. It would be my pleasure to support your family and provide a reliable occasional childcare option for you.

Sandra is patient, warm, and caring. My kids were blessed to spend time with her as she is very loving and kind. Sandra has a lens on safety and closely supervises as children play. She uses teachable moments to support social skills and positive character development. She is the only person outside of family that I trust completely with my children.
Silvia L.

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!

Hi there, I'm Chloe! I hope to provide a fun, loving, and safe environment for your little ones. I have about a year and a half of professional experience in childcare. I have cared for my niece and nephews regularly from birth through childhood as well. I am a Medical Assistant so I am certified in CPR and have first aid training. I believe my clinical experience caring for adults, babies, children, and seniors has strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and responsive. Currently, I am taking a step back from clinical work so I can go to school for nursing. I’m absolutely thrilled at this opportunity to get back into childcare! I'm patient, dependable, and happy to follow your household guidelines and communication preferences. I enjoy crafts, outdoor adventures, and can assist with light housekeeping, errands, and travel. I love cooking so I’d be more than happy to help out with meal prep, packing lunches, and providing snacks. I’m experienced with cooking vegan and vegetarian options if needed. I have a car with a valid license and insurance so I can assist with any transportation that may be required. I love animals of all kinds and sizes so I am more than comfortable if you have pets! Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you and your family! :)

Chloe watched our 16 month old son regularly for about the past year. Chloe is absolutely amazing! She is responsive, caring, and always leaves our home cleaner than we left it! Our son absolutely loves Chloe and just gets giddy whenever she comes over. You will not be disappointed!
