Booked by 1 family in Mercer Island, WA

Hi - My name is Tracy and I reside in Bellevue, WA. I am offering child care, and household services. I am searching for something temporary or part-time due too my current enrollment at the Bellevue College. Working with children has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I spent over three years as a preschool teacher, managing my own classroom of approximately 10 children and creating a safe engaging, and nurturing environment for learning and growth. In addition to teaching, I have worked as a private nanny since I was 18 years old and have experience as a summer camp counselor. As the youngest of four siblings and an involved aunt, I've had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, from newborns to preteens. My childcare experience includes school and activity transportation, homework assistance and tutoring, meal preparation, bed time routines, and even working as a travel nanny. I am currently CPR certified and hold a valid Washington State Enhanced Drivers License, allowing me to safely transport children when needed. I also have a Washington State Food Handler's Permit and am trained in proper food safety and meal preparation practices. Beyond childcare, I have experience working as a household assistant and am happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, organization, grocery shopping, errands, and other household tasks that help keep a busy home running smoothly. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially hiking or paddle boarding. My perfect day includes a good book, a picnic, and body of water to swim in. I am easy going, dependable, and believe in finding joy in life's small moments. I strive to bring patience, positivity, and reliability to every family I work with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help make your day-to-day life a little easier.

Patient, kind, thoughtful and collaborative. My son took to her within 1 minute of meeting! Will definitely work with Tracy again!

Hi, I’m MJ, and I’m 29 years old. I have many years of childcare experience and have been caring for children since I was 15, working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids. Right now, I’m currently nannying for two children, ages 6 and 8, and I also provide backup care by covering shifts for a full-time nanny when needed. This has given me strong experience adapting quickly to different family routines, school schedules, activities, and household needs. In the past, I also cared for a baby from 3 months to 12 months old, so I’m very comfortable with infant care, including feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I enjoy engaging children through play, reading, educational activities, tutoring, and helping with routines such as swimming lessons. In addition to childcare, I can assist with light household tasks, organizing, errands, and pet care. I’m a dog owner myself, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets as part of supporting a busy household.

MJ is so kind & my boys had nothing but great things to say about her ! I would definitely hire her again! 10 out of 10 I really recommend hiring MJ for your family !

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
