I enjoy interacting with children ranging from infants to teenagers. I enjoy dancing, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and encouraging activities children are interested in exploring.
Hi!! I’m Jennifer but go by Jenny. I just finished my senior year at Bellevue High. I grew up taking care of my cousins of all ages, so I have acquired a great deal of patience. Recently I have volunteered at our local boys and girls club in their preschool (daycare) and loved every second of it! I enjoy creative activities such as arts and crafts. I’ve been told to have great charisma and to have an admirable presence :) I have been driving for a little over a year now with a clean record! In my free time, I love writing music or playing the piano, as well as spending time outdoors!
Hello families!! My name is Luisa, I am 25 years old and I am Colombian. I am charismatic, fun, responsible, respectful and most importantly: I have an excellent connection with children. I have more than 5000 hours of experience in childcare from 0 to 15 years old. I could provide you with numbers so you can talk to some of the families I have worked with. As for my skills, I am a very good cook, creative and I can teach your child about nature, your children will never get bored with me.
Hello Families! My name is Talles, and I’m 28 years old with a college degree. I live and work in Bellevue, WA. My work hours are from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, so I’m available for babysitting in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’m a non-smoker, pet-friendly, and fully vaccinated for your peace of mind. I’m known for being calm, observant, independent, and enthusiastic. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love engaging them through cooking, arts and crafts, nature walks, and helping them find compatible friends and playdates. My Experience: Infants (0 to 2 years): This is the age group I’ve been working with the most recently! I’ve gained solid experience babysitting infants and have also worked as a nanny before starting my current job. I have excellent references available upon request. Toddlers and Older Children (3+ years): • I was a nanny for a toddler until he turned 6 years old. • I also worked as a camp counselor last summer for 3 months, taking care of kids aged 4 to 13 in different age groups. This included everything from morning routines to bedtime — a truly rewarding experience that taught me a lot! • At camp, I completed CPR/First Aid (Red Cross certified) and lifeguard training. I’m ideally looking for babysitting jobs after work hours and for date nights. I would love the opportunity to support your family — please feel free to reach out!
I hold bachelor’s degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science and have years of experience caring for children of different ages. I previously worked long-term as a babysitter, worked in an after-school daycare program, and was a teacher at Bright Horizons. I’m detail-oriented, attentive, responsible, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and engaging environment for kids. I can also provide strong references if needed.
