Booked by 2 families in Sultan, WA

Hi, I’m Valeria — a babysitter and proud mom of two boys, ages 7 and 10, living in Lake Marcel Carnation. I truly understand how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your children — because I’ve been in your shoes. With both personal and professional experience, I bring patience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility to every family I work with. I tailor each interaction to your child’s unique personality and needs — from fun, imaginative play to calm bedtime routines. I’ve worked as a teacher’s assistant in elementary schools, which gave me valuable experience supporting children’s learning, routines, and social development in classroom settings. My native language is Spanish, and I’m currently improving my English every day. Being bilingual allows me to connect naturally with Spanish-speaking families and help introduce the language to children in a fun and engaging way. As a mom, I know how valuable it is to feel peace of mind when you’re away. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment where your little ones feel happy and cared for. And if your family has pets — even better! I’m also a trained veterinary assistant with a specialization in pet care, so you can rest assured your furry friends are in good hands too. Let’s connect and see how I can support your family with love, flexibility, and trust. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’d love to meet you! Warmly, Valeria

“Engaged our toddler the entire time with play and books. Highly recommend!”

Hello, I'm Alison. I have 25 plus years of working with children ages birth to school age. I have been recognized for the relationships I have built with families on an individual basis and within early childhood education environments. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Society, Ethics, and Human Behavior from the University of Washington and for many years participated in multiple STARS training courses. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy the process of holding space and supporting children and their families. Photography, hiking, and reading round out my life outside of work.

Hi! I’m Lyndsay and I have been working in child care for the past fifteen years. I now have my own children, 6 year old boy and in first grade and a 2 year old girl who is my little sidekick. I am offering part time childcare. I have experience with all age groups! Before I became a mom, I was a nanny full time and even after that I continued doing a nanny share. That is also what I am hoping to find here! Things I love to do with kids both big and small are playing outside, doing art projects, gym classes, imaginative play and exploring new playgrounds. I also to love help clean, cook and run occasional errands. Anything I can do to help you out!
