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..

Itu is compassionate, friendly and our son enjoyed spending the day with her! She's very collaborative and tailored babysitting to our son well

Mayra stepped in as a backup care nanny for our 20-month-old son, and we couldn’t have been happier. She kept him engaged and entertained the entire time — he absolutely loved spending time with her. On top of that, Mayra was easy to schedule with and a pleasure to work with. We would gladly book her again and highly recommend her to other families!

I have had several years of experience working with children of all ages. Working with children is something that I am very passionate about. I graduated from Seattle University Law School and am available currently studying for the bar exam. I am looking for a part-time position and have flexible study hours.

10/10 would recommend! Kailey babysat our daughter along with two of our friends’ children and it went so well! The girls had a blast and felt comfortable with Kailey. It’s awesome that she charges a reasonable price for multiple kiddos. We’re all looking forward to next double date night knowing we have someone to watch the kids.

Booked by 2 families in Preston, WA

My name is Mary and I grew up originally in Sherwood, OR and I have nannied and babysat for multiple years for family and connections found through family/friends. I am currently in working part time and am looking to help families in my community with babysitting, running errands, nannying, chores, etc. to supplement student loans. I am a very upbeat person and I also believe in low screen time for kids especially under the age of 3. I love planning crafts, games, walks to the park, and any other activities mom and dad are on board for! I currently work part time as a Horticulturist and am looking for subsequent hours for Wednesdays-Sundays.

Mary is absolutely wonderful! She is so friendly and easy to talk to, not to mention great with my little one. So glad to have Mary taking care of my kiddo!
