Victoria 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Edmonds, WA

Hi, I'm Victoria! I'm a mom to a 9-month-old son and have worked for a family helping care for their kids (now ages 3 and 5), whom I've helped care for since they were born. I've been the trusted go-to sitter in my circle for years. I babysat regularly throughout my twenties, all based on word of mouth to friends and new clients alike. I'm most in my element with newborns through age two, and happily watch children up to age 11. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs. I'd like to learn about your expectations and routines in your child's life. I'm CPR and first-aid certified, and I am up to date with all vaccines include 2026 flu and Covid boosters. If you are looking for weekday care, I would bring my son with me - a built in companion for your child! I'm available without him on evenings and weekends. I'd love to chat about what your family needs! I'd love to chat about what your family needs and see if we’re a good match!

“Victoria was wonderful! She was on time, not at all phased by my kids dropping f bombs and jumping up and down on the kitchen table before I left 🤪 she was easy to communicate with while I was out and my kids had a great time. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for future needs. ”

Booked by 1 family in Edmonds, WA

Hello my name is Marley! I went to school for Music Education. I have been working with children for over ten years. I am grateful for each opportunity to learn what makes kids excited about learning, and exploring the natural world. I have been a camp counselor, a private flute teacher, and a music intern in two elementary schools and one middle school. I will be student teaching next fall 2027. I would love to be able to help care for the kids in the community.

“Marley was wonderful with our 4-year-old! She is so patient and really knows how to play with kids — she even brought her own toys, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our daughter had a blast and by the end of the visit they were like best friends; she didn't want Marley to leave! We'd happily book her again.”

Booked by 1 family in Edmonds, WA

Hi! I’m Yasmin and have been babysitting and nannying for over 20 years. I would describe myself as extremely outgoing, fun and bubbly! I am an avid traveler and have traveled to over 30 countries! I am fluent in Arabic and went to boarding school in Amman, Jordan. I have a huge family with over 60 cousins, nephews and nieces. I love kids and did my first year of university in Education. I did receive honors and after graduation I went on and received my certification in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). I am now doing a masters program and am looking to babysit part time. Both my parents are chefs/baker so I love to cook and feed nutritious meals to your kids. I’m clean, reliable and honest. I’m excited to connect, learn and help your family! Thank you!!
