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!”

I’m Princeton, a dependable and attentive pet sitter with hands‑on experience caring for both a dog and a cat in a home environment. Over the years, I’ve learned how to balance the different personalities and needs of each animal—whether that’s keeping a playful pup engaged with structured walks and enrichment or giving a curious cat the calm, consistent attention they prefer. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable routine that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. From feeding schedules and medication reminders to exercise, grooming, and plenty of affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is always to maintain their normal rhythm, reduce stress, and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and well‑cared‑for. Owners can count on me for clear communication, reliability, and genuine care that goes beyond the basics.
