Booked by 26 families in Newcastle, WA

I'm a retired homemaker who has successfully raised three kids in this area. I live with my husband and 2 small dogs in Bellevue. We have three grandchildren under the age of 12, they live locally and we see them frequently! I love kids, people and pets and I like to help. I have many years experience as a parent, and have experience being a grandparent too. I can sit, tutor, play and cook. I enjoy running errands and I take direction well. Kids like me, and I'm good with babies too. In my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, board games, shopping, walking the dogs and babysitting.

“Dina was very professional and great with consoling my 3 week old newborn and spending time with my 3 year old. He really loved talking with her and was sad for her to go. It was so nice to have her help!”

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..
