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!
Hi! My name is Amelia, and I’m a graduate student at the University of Washington who loves working with kids and helping families. With years of experience, I know how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children of all ages. In addition to childcare and tutoring, I can assist with household chores, cooking, organizing, even pet sitting. I’m happy to help make your home life a little easier while ensuring your children are engaged, happy, and well cared for. In my free time, I love doing pottery, hanging with my two cats, and enjoying the beauty of Seattle. If you’re looking for a versatile, dependable sitter who can support your family in multiple ways, let’s chat! I’d love to learn how I can best meet your needs.

I was born in Vermont as the oldest of five children. I have lived in Seattle for almost 20 years and I am the mom of two. My day job is as a Physician Assistant.

I am grateful for the opportunity to provide your family reliable and nurturing care that comes from a lifetime of experience.

"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!"
