I adore children and have two boys myself which I feel is enough for me. I enjoy playing with them especially under 5 when they are cute and fun. But at the end at the day, I would prefer to return to their parents. I can be gentle yet firm for children that like to test boundaries- it allows me to be creative, playful and enjoy seeing their little wheels spinning when I interact with them. In addition, I like pets, but my household have allergy to pet dander so this is one way I can get my baby/ pet fix without having to raise them.
Hi! My name is Melinda and I have been babysitting for more than a year and a half. I am entering my freshman year at UW Bothell and I offer childcare. I also work at a summer camp during the summer in my local neighborhood. I work well with kids and know how to lead games and how to entertain them. I am also CPR certified from the training I went through to work at the summer camp. I communicate well and make sure that the kids are safe. I have my license as well and can help with watching kids after practices or extra curriculars. Please feel free to reach out if a babysitter is needed!

“My girls immediately took to Tiffany. There was no hesitation or shyness. Her background as a teacher shone through when she got them into arts and crafts right away. I came home to some beautiful artwork and two tired and happy kiddos! Tiffany is personable, respectful and kind. I will 100% be hiring her again.”
I grew up in a big family, and from a young age I was able to gain experience in child care. It would later be something that I really enjoy and continue to want to do. I’ve generally worked with toddlers and younger kids but I love kids of all ages. I love taking them outside to play in the sun or creating art indoors. In my free time I like to read, workout, and spend time with family and friends. I mostly have availability during the weekends and some occasional week nights
“My 2.5 yo had a great time with Grace! I would definitely love to have her back!”
