Talles $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Talles, and I’m 28 years old with a college degree. I live and work in Bellevue, WA. My work hours are from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, so I’m available for babysitting in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’m a non-smoker, pet-friendly, and fully vaccinated for your peace of mind. I’m known for being calm, observant, independent, and enthusiastic. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love engaging them through cooking, arts and crafts, nature walks, and helping them find compatible friends and playdates. My Experience: Infants (0 to 2 years): This is the age group I’ve been working with the most recently! I’ve gained solid experience babysitting infants and have also worked as a nanny before starting my current job. I have excellent references available upon request. Toddlers and Older Children (3+ years): • I was a nanny for a toddler until he turned 6 years old. • I also worked as a camp counselor last summer for 3 months, taking care of kids aged 4 to 13 in different age groups. This included everything from morning routines to bedtime — a truly rewarding experience that taught me a lot! • At camp, I completed CPR/First Aid (Red Cross certified) and lifeguard training. I’m ideally looking for babysitting jobs after work hours and for date nights. I would love the opportunity to support your family — please feel free to reach out!
