Catherine A., Child Care in Gig Harbor, WA 98335 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.

Josie L., Child Care in Gig Harbor, WA 98335 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Josie. I have been a babysitter and nanny for various families since I was 12 (I’m now 30). I have worked with ages 8 months-15 years old. I love interacting with kids, and I like to keep them active and entertained without screens. I have my own car, and am happy to take them on outings to the park, the mall, or the pool! I am a swim instructor as well, if your kiddos are interested in learning to swim! My CPR and First Aid Certs are expired but I’d be happy to get re certified! If you are interested, I can help out with light cleaning and organizing. I love doing laundry too! I also pet-sit, so if you have pets that’s not an issue. Please reach out if you have any questions. I’m looking forward to learning more about you and how I can best meet your family’s needs!

Hollis A., Child Care in Gig Harbor, WA 98335 with 25 years of paid experience

This fall, I’m seeking one or two like-minded families to join my daughter and me for a slow, heartfelt rhythm of care, connection, and play 2 days per week in my cozy Northeast Tacoma home. Our days will unfold with outdoor play, paint-covered fingers, shared snacks, cozy stories, and open-ended exploration—all inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and a deep belief in the magic of early childhood. This is not a home-based daycare—just a tiny circle of little ones growing and learning side by side, cared for in the comfort of my home, with warmth and intention. I'm a WA-state certificated teacher, with 20 years of teaching experience and extensive training in the early years. I was a classroom teacher in grades Preschool-2nd grade, most recently teaching Kindergarten in Seattle Public Schools. I have my Master of Education from University of Washington, and completed my Masters project on the Reggio Emilia teaching modality. I’m hoping to connect with families who value slowness, creativity, and connection—who are looking for something rooted and real for their child’s early years. Ages: 18 months to 3 years Availability: Fall 2025 Location: Northeast Tacoma Group Size: My daughter + 1–2 children
