Hi, my name is Victoria. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids for 6 years. My responsibilities have included walking to/from school, easy meal prep, crafts, outside time, and cleaning up. I am also available for household services and I can clean, cook, and tidy up the house. I don’t have any allergies, and I’m comfortable being around pets. I’m responsible, pontual, patient, organized, flexible! * vaccinated COVID and Flu * I’m fluent in Portuguese and English.

We have worked with Vic for many years and she is exceptional. She is reliable, always on time, promotes active play, and is always a calm and warm presence. Our family adores her. No question, would hire again.

Ana 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, I’m Ana from Colombia! I really enjoy being a babysitter. I have over 4 years of experience of childcare from ages 3 months up to 11 years old. I like to take kids outside to parks, museums, and on other adventures especially when the weather is better. My past experiences include being a live-in nanny for a family with two children in Ballard. I provided full time care in this case including cooking, bathing, and playing. Recently for other families my responsibilities have included driving children ages 10 & 12 to and from school, extracurricular activities, medical appointments, and helping parents out with special events. I love animals, I grow up with dogs around. I have two cats, so I’ll be more than happy to work for a family with pets no problem! Fully vaccinated and open to answer any other questions prospective families may have! 

Ana is a complete gem! She cared for our twin infants and was everything we could have asked for - caring, responsible, and professional. She took care of bottles, laundry, and took them on daily walks. When I would work from home I would see her engaging them with play, stories and music. Our twins had regular physical therapy for gross motor development and Ana came with me to their appointments, learned all the exercises and did them with the babies regularly. She was a true partner in supporting their development. We feel so lucky that Ana cared for our babies!
