Sarah T., Child Care in Federal Way, WA 98023 with 4 years of paid experience

My name is Sarah, and I am a dependable childcare professional with four years of nanny experience working in long-term positions with families. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for children while helping families maintain a well-organized home. I am comfortable caring for children of various ages, including when they are sick or need additional support. I stay calm in stressful situations, multitask well, and adapt easily to changing schedules and family needs. Along with childcare, I am also comfortable assisting with household management tasks and working around animals. Before nannying, I worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor, which gave me strong knowledge of water safety, emergency awareness, and responsibility. I have been working since I was 15 years old at a recreation center, where I developed a strong work ethic and excellent communication skills. I am flexible with scheduling and willing to work early mornings, evenings, weekends, or late nights as needed. I also have multiple strong references available upon request. I truly enjoy building lasting relationships with families and providing dependable, compassionate care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and contribute positively to your home.

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!

Lenexia babysat our 14mo old toddler for the first time and it went great! He is always skeptical of babysitters (especially new ones) but he ate his dinner, and fell asleep at a good time. Lenexia was very communicative, and we never worried about him at all. Would happily ask Lenexia to babysit again. Thank you!

Hi there! I recently earned my degree in early childhood education from Skagit & Highline College, and I have been caring for children for 5+ years as a childcare provider. I work with all ages such as newborns, infants, toddlers, preschool, and school age. I love working with young kids as I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. I want to be able to provide parents with someone trustworthy to care for their children.

Tia J., Child Care in Federal Way, WA 98023 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm Tia — thank you for taking a moment to learn more about me. I currently work as a Family Liaison for my local school district and bring over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. My passion for childcare began early and has only grown through the years—both in professional roles and hands-on caregiving. I’m now looking to nanny during my summer break and would love to support a wonderful family during this time. In the past, I’ve had the joy of being a summer nanny to three adorable little boys. I truly cherished every moment—helping them grow, play, and thrive. My approach is nurturing, patient, and focused on creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, laugh, and feel secure. I’m also a proud mom of four amazing young adult children who are all currently in college, as well as a fur mom to two pups—Minnie (a Pomeranian) and Hewie (a Yorkie). This summer, I’m offering care from my home in peaceful Fredrickson, WA, which features a clean, child-friendly space, a fenced yard perfect for playtime, and a lovely neighborhood park just a short walk away. I’m also happy to provide care from your home if that’s a better fit for your family’s needs. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and compassionate caregiver who will treat your child like family, I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can support your family. With appreciation, Tia

Tia did an absolutely amazing job helping me clean and organize my home. From the moment she arrived, she was incredibly professional, friendly, and eager to help with anything that needed to be done. She not only completed all the tasks I needed help with, but went above and beyond in every way, offering suggestions, tackling extra projects, and making sure every surface sparkled. What impressed me most was her positive attitude and genuine care and willingness to help. She was thoughtful, hardworking, and truly took pride in her work. Thanks to Tia's dedication and attention to detail, my home looks beautiful, organized, and is more comfortable than it has ben in a VERY long time! I'm super grateful for all of her help and would highly recommend Tia to anyone!

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.

Jasmine K., Child Care in Federal Way, WA 98023 with 4 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to connect with others, whether it’s pets, children, or elderly individuals. There’s something incredibly rewarding about providing care and seeing those I look after feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I enjoy the flexibility of the job, too, as it allows me to balance my time while helping others with their needs. It’s fulfilling to know that I’m offering peace of mind to families or pet owners. have experience in [pet sitting/babysitting/elderly care], where I’ve learned to manage tasks like feeding, administering medications, and providing companionship. Over time, I’ve gained confidence in caring for different individuals, whether it’s keeping pets entertained and active or helping children with their daily routines. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with families on various occasions, which has improved my ability to adapt to different needs and preferences. I have strong communication skills, which help me interact effectively with both the individuals I’m caring for and their families. I’m also trained in first aid and CPR, which I believe is an essential skill for any sitter. I have experience managing schedules and routines, especially with children or pets, and I’m good at keeping everything organized. I’m patient, compassionate, and enjoy being proactive in addressing any challenges that may arise, whether that’s calming an anxious pet or ensuring a child feels safe and secure.
