Arianne W., Babysitter in Tacoma, WA 98433 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Arianne. I was a stay at home mom to my 10 year old daughter for the first 4 years of her life. During that time, I have been a nanny to 4 different families. I was with one family for a year caring for their 2 children, ages 1 and 9. With the second family, I cared for their infant, age 5 months, and stayed with them for 6 months. I left both families on excellent terms and have references. Once my daughter started school, I became a nanny full time. I have also worked with a few other families as well and have experience with children of all ages. I was with my most recent family for 5 years. They have an 6 yr and an 3 yr old. I started with the 6yr old at 18months and I’ve been with the 3 yr old whole life. I left this family in September because both boys are now in school/preschool. I am available immediately and I am looking for a full time nanny position in Olympia or the surrounding areas. I am fully vaccinated and still continue to wear masks in public and sanitize. I do like to let potential families know a couple things before we proceed just not to waste anyone’s time. Just in case values are extremely different. 1. I am have a lot of tattoos and some piercings. But I do not do drugs or smoke and I rarely even drink. I am open to drug testing and full background checks. 2. I am a lesbian. I know that may not be acceptable to all people so I like to let people know beforehand. 3. This is my sole source of income. If you hire me on, I will need guaranteed hours and if for any reason needs change, I will need notice a month in advance. Thanks for taking the time to read this. And if I don’t hear from you, good luck finding an amazing caregiver🙂

Emma S., Babysitter in Tacoma, WA 98433 with 13 years of paid experience

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! 😊

Catherine A., Babysitter in Tacoma, WA 98433 with 5 years of 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.
