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!

Hello! My name is Victoria. I am a certified elementary teacher with a Masters in Teaching from Seattle University. I have many years of experience working with children ages infant to 5th grade. I am flexible and easy-going. I have Montessori experience and I like to let the children lead the activities with me giving structure and guidance.
“Victoria was wonderful. Our kids loved her and were very sad when she had to go! We’re looking forward to our next babysitting opportunity with her.”

Hi. My name is Itu. I’m a very dependable babysitter, who knows how to provide exceptional care for your children. I have 8 years experience with children of all ages starting from infants to teenagers. I’m well-versed in creating a fun, nurturing environment that kids love and parents trust. I’m CPR and First Aid Certified. And also as all families are unique, I don’t really have a specific way of how I do things, you tell me what you need and I do just that, adding a little bit where I think it’s needed but otherwise I tailor my approach to fit your child’s needs and your household routines.. I’m dedicated to making babysitting time special for your children and stress-free for you. Thank you! Chat to you soon..

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
