Sittercity helps Tacoma families find the best child care providers

I’ve always had a passion for spending time with and working with children. I started my child care experience in high school and have been doing it ever since. I now have my degree in Early Childhood Education. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and have a cleared background check through the state as well. Additionally, I am vaccinated for Covid. I look forward to getting to know families and answering any questions you may have!

I previously worked at a childcare center where I was trained in positive guidance and many other things. I have a CPR and First Aid Certificate. I grew up in a big family and have always loved helping with the kids. I have been babysitting for over 6 years.

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!

I am 20, in college. I have been babysitting for the past 5 years of my life. I have 3 younger siblings, as I am the oldest. I am very passionate about kids. I love kids, so much that I want to be an Elementary Teacher, I am currently in college. I am about to start my 3rd quarter. As for my past jobs, I have cashiered, worked in restaurants, and babysat. I've found that babysitting is really what I would like to do as it brings me the most joy. I get really attached to the kids I babysit, so hopefully I can build lasting relationships and connections with your family. I have babysat kids with autism, special needs, anger issues, I've experienced it all. My siblings also those as well. My college schedule changes every semester. Starting September 23rd, I have an in person class Mondays and Wednesdays 12-1:30.

Hello Everyone! My name is Emma and I am offering occasional babysitting services! I’m your typically 24 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! 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! 😊

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!

Hello! My name is Natasha, I am 30 years old and live in Tacoma. A brief overview of my experience: I have six years of professional childcare experience and five of nanny experience. I have worked with a wide range of age groups, ranging from children as young as 3 months old to children as old as 13 years old. It is my passion to work with children, and I have had the pleasure of working with many wonderful families in the past. As of right now, I am taking classes to obtain a degree in elementary education. I am committed to continuing my education and professional development in order to provide the best childcare experience possible. I have open availability right now and am eager to work with a new family to create a positive and nurturing environment for the children in my care. On request, I can provide a copy of my records of first aid and CPR training. If you are interested in reviewing my professional resume and references, I would be happy to provide them.

Hello and Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. With over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience, I am a passionate and reliable nanny seeking a long-term position with a loving family. My journey in childcare began when I started watching my grandson on weekends while my daughter-in-law worked, and I quickly discovered this was my true calling. What started as helping family has blossomed into a fulfilling career that brings me immense joy every single day. ## Professional Qualifications & Experience I am certified through the Child Care Aware program with the military, demonstrating my commitment to professional standards and quality care. My extensive experience spans working with children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months old. I understand the unique needs of each developmental stage and adapt my caregiving approach accordingly, whether it's providing gentle care for newborns or engaging older children in educational activities. Safety and trust are paramount in my work. I have completed comprehensive state and federal background checks, as well as a current driving abstract, all of which I'm happy to share with prospective families. These clearances reflect my commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. ## What Sets Me Apart I believe in making life easier for the families I work with, not just caring for their children. My services extend beyond basic childcare to include light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and maintaining organized, clean spaces. I understand that parents have enough on their plates, so I take pride in handling these additional responsibilities to help create a smoother household routine. My approach to childcare is nurturing yet structured. I focus on creating engaging, educational experiences while maintaining consistent routines that help children feel secure and thrive. Whether it's reading stories, creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with homework, I tailor activities to each child's interests and developmental needs. ## References & Family-Friendly Approach I have excellent references from previous families who can speak to my reliability, trustworthiness, and genuine care for their children. Many of my relationships with families have lasted years, which speaks to my commitment to building lasting, meaningful connections. I'm completely comfortable with pets and understand they're often
