Hi! I’m an experienced babysitter who really enjoys working with kids. I’ve been babysitting for about 5 years and have experience with toddlers, preschoolers, and grade-schoolers. I’m patient, responsible, and pretty fun, and I love doing things like drawing, reading, crafts, music, and games with kids. I’m also comfortable with pets and helping out with light chores if needed. I don’t drive yet, but I’m happy to babysit in your home. I’m currently in college and would love the chance to meet your family and help care for your kids.

Hi, I’m Braydon, and my heart belongs to the tiniest humans on earth.
With 4 years of dedicated experience caring for infants from newborn through 4 years,I’m not yet CPR or First Aid certified, but I am willing to get them if that brings more comfort. I follow every parent’s routine like it’s my own—whether that means cluster feeding at 2 a.m., tummy time marathons, or singing the same lullaby until those little eyelids finally flutter shut. I bring patience that doesn’t run out, hands that are gentle but confident, and a calm energy that helps even the most colicky babies settle.
Parents tell me they come home to happy, well-rested babies… and that’s the best paycheck I could ever ask for. If you’re looking for someone who will love your baby like family while you’re away, I’d be honored to be that person.
I’m local to Tacoma and ready to meet your little one. 💕”

Hi! I’m Zane. I started working with kids when I was 14, and found I could really connect with them. I grew up with 11 siblings, (most being younger than me) I see myself as a natural caretaker, and someone who works better under stress or pressure. I would love to be your nanny!
