“We hired Piangtawan for multiple days to take care of our child, and she did a great job every time. Our child was very happy playing with her, and she was very careful in watching our child during the early stages of learning to walk. In addition, she left the child's room very clean at the end of every shift.”
Hi! My name is Alice! I have experience with newborns, toddlers, as well as young, school aged children. I approach every family with compassion and the understanding that safety is always a number one priority. Every child is treated with the care that fits their individual needs, whether that means keeping them creatively engaged with a fun activity or providing homework help. I am also available to complete household tasks! My favorite activity to do with the kiddos: storytime and coloring!
Hi there! My name is Natalie and I was a babysitter in high school for 3 years. I babysat a little boy from age 2-5 years old over the course of high school. After graduating from Holy Names Academy, I finished my bachelors degree at Bellevue College. I currently work at a real estate office and would love the opportunity to nanny on the weekends and Friday nights! I love children and really enjoy being a reliable resource for families who are looking for childcare. If you have any questions or want to learn more about me, please feel free to reach out!
“Natalie is the best! My 2 little boys loved spending NYE with Natalie. She made the night so fun for them with smores and celebrations. I highly recommend! My boys keep asking when she can come over again. Thanks Natalie!!”
I LOVE being with children! Growing up in a huge family, I've always been surrounded by kids, so it's been a pretty easy task to take care of them. I started babysitting when I was 11, and then gradually it turned into a regular thing. I have been a part-time nanny, and now that I'm a full time Esthetician, I pick up babysitting shifts and date nights regularly! I baby-sit at least three times a month. I have watched children from the ages of new born to 11 years of age.

"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!"
