Hi, my name is Talina Hall (pronounced Tuh-lee-nuh) and I am located in Tacoma. I’m 22 years old and currently majoring in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Child Psychology. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and Montessori teaching. I also hold a valid food handler’s card. I have experience caring for children ranging from newborns to 13 years of age. I can assist with: Sleep training Establishing and maintaining routines Homework help Activity planning Grooming (hair, clothing, and diapering) Cooking Light housekeeping A little more about me: During high school, I volunteered at my local Boys and Girls Club, where I created and directed a two-year program for 4th and 5th grade girls. I mentored them by providing a safe space for open discussion, organizing activities, and helping with homework. After that, I worked as a nanny for about three years before preparing to attend college. While in college, I worked part-time as a caregiver at a senior living facility. During school breaks, I continued nannying on and off. I also have occasional experience with dog sitting, which includes walking, feeding, and playtime. Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me. I hope to have the opportunity to provide the best care for your family! 😊

My named Lenexia! I started working with kids when I was around 14 years old. My first and longest experience has been with my now 7year old client. I’ve taken care of her since she was 1year old. She’s definitely given me the experience needed to supervise , maintain balanced meals and provide a set schedule for her. Ive also taken care of other children of varying ages and love working with all kids!

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's day through texts or phone calls, if desired, in addition to verbal communication at pickup. 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 childcare option for you.

Hello, I'm Myka! I'm a university student based in Tacoma, working towards my bachelor's degree in Developmental Psychology, which I plan to complete within the next year. Recently, I earned my Behavioral Therapy credentials and have had the chance to assist many families in the ABA community. As I return to school and step away from my role as a therapist, I'm hoping to find another family to work with during the academic year while I study full-time. With over seven years of experience caring for children of all ages, I have a strong background in childcare. I enjoy designing fun and engaging activities that promote learning and creativity, and I am always eager to help. I'd describe myself as outgoing, compassionate, and lively. In my free time, I love exploring the water with my golden doodle or trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon! :)

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

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! 😊
