Booked by 2 families in Preston, WA

Hello :) I am a mother of two teenage daughters. I have a degree in Elementary Education and over 10 years experience as both a Preschool Teacher and Nanny/Caregiver. I have worked with children of all ages and am passionate about fostering each child’s interests and development through thoughtful and loving care. I also enjoy supporting families with additional needs so am happy to help with pets, light housekeeping, organization, errands, etc. In addition, I am currently a Care Driver for HopSkipDrive (a ride-share service for school children) so am qualified and comfortable with driving your children to/from activities. I am patient, kind, respectful, reliable and fun! I consider it a privilege to be welcomed into your family and look forward to meeting you all!

Our toddler warmed up to Holly faster than I expected and was excited to play and read with her the entire time. Holly also had excellent communication about the booking and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Hi, I’m Valeria — a babysitter and proud mom of two boys, ages 7 and 10, living in Lake Marcel Carnation. I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your children — because I’ve been in your shoes. With both personal and professional experience, I bring patience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility to every family I work with. I tailor each interaction to your child’s unique personality and needs — from fun, imaginative play to calm bedtime routines. I’ve worked as a teacher’s assistant in elementary schools, which gave me valuable experience supporting children’s learning, routines, and social development in classroom settings. My native language is Spanish, and I’m currently improving my English every day. Being bilingual allows me to connect naturally with Spanish-speaking families and help introduce the language to children in a fun and engaging way. As a mom, I know how valuable it is to feel peace of mind when you’re away. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment where your little ones feel happy and cared for. And if your family has pets — even better! I’m also a trained veterinary assistant with a specialization in pet care, so you can rest assured your furry friends are in good hands too. Let’s connect and see how I can support your family with love, flexibility, and trust. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’d love to meet you! Warmly, Valeria

Engaged our toddler the entire time with play and books. Highly recommend!
