Hi! My name is Julia I’m a wife, mother, auntie, daughter, artist and working professional. My daughter (she is 5 yrs old), will stay home with my husband while I come to your location. Naturally as a mother myself, I will treat your child(ren) with the upmost respect and professionalism. You can depend on me to follow your house rules, lead by example, and provide loving care with full integrity. Some of my alternate experience with children include but not limited to: camp leader for over 16 different weeks (5-6 graders), sunday school lead for infant room 2 years~ (0-2 yrs old), after school volunteer tutor 3 years~ (1st and 2nd graders), childrens paint parties (all ages) + tons of babysitting. I am punctual, and usually flexible with the end time. Returning home early or extending the shift is fine with me. I am adaptable, no judgement! I have a car, license and insurance. I have a clean background and credit. I am a non-smoker/vaper/drug free. I am fully vaxxed (CVID and TDAP). Certified in cpr/first aid. Thank you for reading!

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 39 families in Maple Valley, WA

I have been a nanny for over 12 years and about 8 years ago I transitioned into the corporate world. I am missing all the silly times with my little people and would like some occasional jobs to keep me engaged and having fun! I have a ton of energy and can keep up with any child or large families. I love animals as well! I have had quite a few cooking jobs and I don't sit very well for too long. So, if a baby is sleeping... I am cleaning or prepping food :) My minimum is 4 hours of work, so if you come home early, I still get paid for 4 hours. Thank you.

Tiffany is extremely warm, energetic and professional and clearly very experienced! She is one of the first babysitters we've used as first-time parents and we felt at-ease almost right away.
