Booked by 46 families in Mountlake Terrace, WA

Hi, my name is Emma! I work as a social worker and babysit/nanny on the side. I love getting to know families in the area. I am most often available for date nights/evening babysitting and live in the Wallingford area (but I have transportation and am happy to travel outside of this area)! Before I pursued a Masters of Social Work, I worked with children and adolescents for 8 years as a nanny, K-2 Spanish teacher and educational assistant. I also worked for several years as a mental health specialist with youth experiencing severe mental illness. My experience as a babysitter and a teacher has given me the ability to confidently set up activities and supervise children so that they can have fun and be safe. My background in mental health has given me the ability to manage behavioral challenges and conflict. I’m happy to provide references upon request! I just don’t list them here to protect their privacy. I look forward to getting to know you and your kiddos! Please reach out if you have any questions.

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.

With over 10 years of experience in early childhood education, I have dedicated my career to fostering the development of young children. I have a strong background in creating engaging educational content and books, with over 5 years in content development tailored for infants and toddlers. Additionally, I have spent more than 3 years training fellow educators in play-based learning techniques, emphasizing the importance of interactive and nurturing environments. My comprehensive expertise equips me to provide exceptional care and educational support as a nanny, ensuring each child's growth and happiness.

We are so happy we met Soyeon. She was so engaged while playing with our kiddo. She offered new games and gave us a nice book as a memory. Thanks Soyeon:)
