Reliable, Fun, and Safe Care for Kids and Pets

Hello! My name is Ella Threet, and I’ve lived in Washington State my entire life. I have over a year of hands-on experience working with children as a preschool coach at Gymnastics Unlimited, where I support young kids in a fun, safe, and structured environment. Before that, I worked at a community center and as a dog walker, giving me experience with both children and pets of all ages and temperaments.

I currently attend Stadium High School and am a Running Start student at Tacoma Community College. I am a senior graduating with the Class of 2026 and plan to major in nursing, as I am passionate about caring for others. I am CPR and First Aid trained and always prioritize safety.

I truly love working with kids and animals and enjoy creating a positive, supportive, and engaging environment. I am responsible, patient, and reliable, and I would love the opportunity to help care for your children or pets.

Hi! I’m excited to be able to give a helping hand whether it’s helping with your pets or children. I’m a 21 year old in my 4th year of college going for a degree in the sciences to pursue a job in the medical field, I am responsible and consistent as well as someone who is reasonable and has common sense, I do what needs to be done. I have experience dog sitting since I was a preteen as well as taking care of kids including watching over them, cooking, school work etc. and have worked with autistic children as well. I’m willing to work for 15 an hour, I do this as a side job with school so I’m not expecting typical pay like 20 an hour especially because of the seasonal type of schedule I have.

I have six years of hands-on childcare experience, including working as a YMCA Child Watch Attendant, camp counselor, cheer camp coach, and children’s ministry volunteer. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, supervising multiple children at once, bottle-feeding, changing diapers, and helping with age-appropriate daily care routines. I can prepare and cook meals, assist with feeding, clean up after meals and activities, wash dishes, tidy play areas, and maintain a clean and organized environment. I am comfortable following parents’ instructions and established schedules for meals, naps, playtime, and other routines to provide consistency and stability for children. My experience also includes planning and leading age-appropriate crafts, games, and educational activities, managing groups of children, and keeping kids engaged through creative, hands-on play rather than electronics. I have experience working with children with special needs and am fluent in sign language, allowing me to communicate with Deaf children. My background has prepared me to handle a variety of childcare responsibilities while adapting to each child’s age, abilities, and individual needs.

Pet Sitter & Babysitter with Real-Life Experience (and Lots of Practice)

I’ve been looking after pets and kids pretty much my whole life. We always had animals at home, and I spent a lot of time helping with my little sister. So I know how it goes — the energy, the mood swings, the “I’m not hungry” then suddenly starving, the endless negotiations. I’ve also done some first aid training, which comes in handy when things get a bit unpredictable. Happy to look after your dog, cat, or kid and keep them safe and content while you’re out. Feel free to message me if you want to book an appointment.
