"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Hi there, I’m Ana from Colombia! I really enjoy being a babysitter. I have over 4 years of experience of childcare from ages 3 months up to 11 years old. I like to take kids outside to parks, museums, and on other adventures especially when the weather is better. My past experiences include being a live-in nanny for a family with two children in Ballard. I provided full time care in this case including cooking, bathing, and playing. Recently for other families my responsibilities have included driving children ages 10 & 12 to and from school, extracurricular activities, medical appointments, and helping parents out with special events. I love animals, I grow up with dogs around. I have two cats, so I’ll be more than happy to work for a family with pets no problem! Fully vaccinated and open to answer any other questions prospective families may have!
“Ana is a complete gem! She cared for our twin infants and was everything we could have asked for - caring, responsible, and professional. She took care of bottles, laundry, and took them on daily walks. When I would work from home I would see her engaging them with play, stories and music. Our twins had regular physical therapy for gross motor development and Ana came with me to their appointments, learned all the exercises and did them with the babies regularly. She was a true partner in supporting their development. We feel so lucky that Ana cared for our babies!”
Marcene $25 per hour for 1 child
I love spending time with kids, pets, and seniors. I have a Bachelors degree in Nursing and worked at Swedish Hospital until I had a family of my own. My children are grown and I like to watercolor, play board games, hang out in nature, line dance and cook.
Tanya $15 per hour for 1 child
My name is Tanya, and I am the mother of two (daughter 17 and son 3). I would like to put my name out there for childcare for your little ones. Ideally, your child(ren) could come to my house, but I can also go to yours. I do have my 3 year old little guy who would be there or come with me. I am located in Fairwood Greens community in Renton, WA, and my home is a smoke free and no pets. All of us (except my 3 year old) are fully vaccinated. I can help with date nights, or I am even open to exploring an ongoing thing if there is someone who works nights or weekends and needs help. I know it can be hard to find childcare for those off hours. I have every other Friday off as well so a daytime slot could work there as well. I am happy to go over timing in more detail though. If you are interested and would like to chat more and get to know me beforehand, feel free to message me. We could even meet up at the park for a little meet and greet before you make any decisions. 😊
