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..

Booked by 4 families in Kent, WA

Hi! My name is Halima, and I offer childcare services. I recently applied to medical school with the goal of becoming a pediatrician as caring for and supporting children has always been a passion of mine. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, caring for kids of all ages, from infants to older children. As the oldest sibling in my family, I also gained hands-on experience by helping care for my younger siblings. My responsibilities have included meal prep, feeding, diaper changes, playtime, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I’m comfortable managing bedtime and nap time and can follow any routine you already have in place. Beyond babysitting, I’ve worked closely with children in educational settings. I’ve taught reading in an elementary school reading program, volunteered as a coach for a running program, taught at weekend school, led kids through fun science experiments, and tutored students in math. These experiences have strengthened my patience, creativity, and ability to understand how different children learn and express themselves. I make sure to arrive on time and prepared, keeping families informed so everything runs smoothly. With each child, I pay attention to what they need and respond in ways that make them feel heard and supported. I take the time to learn their routines, favorite activities, and personalities, and I adjust my approach so they feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m excited to meet your family and would love the opportunity to support you and your little one!

Hello! My name is Marian. I am 29 years old. I am currently at school doing a pre nursing program. I am from Colombia, so I speak Spanish! I have a bachelor’s degree as a Spanish teacher. I have been working with kids for over 6 years here in the USA, all ages! I have my own transportation. I considered myself a very responsible and respectful person. I am offering child care, but also I could watch your pet. Thank you for reading me.

Certainly! Here is a positive review you could use: I highly recommend Marian. She took excellent care of my kids, showing great responsibility and kindness. I will definitely be hiring her again soon!"
