I have also nannied for three families and have been an on call babysitter for five others. I live in the Issaquah/Newcastle area and would love to find families to provide childcare for!

Pet care only: I’ve lived with cats and dogs growing up so I love taking care of them. Currently working for a flexible company so my work hours are flexible.
“Yadi was able to take care of my cat on short notice. It’s been nothing short of a great experience - Yadi is great at communicating and updating me to make sure I felt comfortable! My cat also seemed to really enjoy his time with her 😄”

Hello! I am a student in the honors program at the University of Washington in Seattle. I have my drivers license and I am a very responsible driver. I am very creative and I love reading, playing games, doing art, and singing with the kids I babysit for! I speak English and Spanish and I am learning Mandarin. I have two younger sisters who I love and I have experience babysitting children ages 6 months to 14 years old. I am good at problem solving and hope to create a safe and grounded environment for your children. I like to have fun and I have a lot of energy but I also love to be cozy and chill depending on the needs of every family. I love animals and I have experience dog sitting and cat sitting. Let me know if I sound like a good fit for your family!
