My twins are 23 and one is in school and the other one is engaged, works and has my other gdtr that is now 3 years old & twins on the way! I am married. My husband is a contractor and works all over the state. I have a 23 year medical background working with infants all the way to adults. I am CPR and First Aid certified as well as a RBT which just means I’ve worked with kiddos that are on the autism spectrum/or have any other behavioral concerns.

Marisa C. - Seeking Work in Tacoma

Babysitter Available in Tacoma, WA: Marisa C.

In 2026 I purchased a home Freeze Dryer to have more options of meals while outdoors. I have camped with my charges (nanny children) in the PNW and enjoy stepping outside daily. I have my Wilderness First Aid certification.

I am at a beginner level of ASL. It has been useful in numerous instances.

Screentime is present, but extremely minimal. I strive for educational exposure over passive.

I don't have a Kindle. I enjoy library visits and reading aloud to children. SEL (social and emotional learning) books are utilized, I have all the Slumberkins books and kins. Daily affirmations are morale boosting, it melts your heart when you hear a child giving themselves a pep-talk.

Photography is a hobby and I enjoy getting on the creative side with arts, crafts, or woodworking. A squirrel picnic table for my Granny is one of favorite pieces. Process art vs Product art is what I like best.

One day I hope to work on a cruise ship, at Disneyland, as a travel nanny, and as a ROTA.
