Meet Aida

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I retired early to enjoy being a grandma after raising five children as a single parent. Now I have eight grandchildren with another on the way. I babysit my grandchildren as needed from newborn to eight years old. Each gets special attention based on their personalities and learning styles. My youngest kids are twenty eight year old twins, so life was busy when they were younger. They all went to co-op preschools and I was able to take ECE classes at the local community college as well. All five are now grown and successful. I’m available as a backup sitter, date night sitter, or day sitter in Snohomish, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Marysville, Everett, Granite Falls, and Arlington. I believe children learn through play and spend my time with them doing just that while making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. My husband and I enjoy travel, so I’d Read more love to be your backup sitter, last minute substitute, date night sitter, or the one you can call when you just need a break to run errands hands free. My hobbies include caring for my many chickens (and a couple of roosters), playing with and walking my two dogs Porter the chocolate lab and Hank the golden retriever, quilting, gardening, and baking. I’m happy to answer any questions or meet to see if I would be a good fit for your family and look forward to meeting you and your little one/ones. References available. Please let me know if you’d like me to send to you.

Aida was stupendous. She is flexible, accommodating, and available. We ran into last minute plan changes and she was able to roll with them easing our worries of possible cancellation. She was engaging with the kids and they had a great time with Aida. I will not hesitate to hire her again next time and you shouldn't either. Thank your Aida for your help.

We are so happy to have found Aida! Our son took to her right away and I was so happy to see she brought some interactive books he would like. I could tell they got along great and everything from scheduling to communication was 5 stars. We're already planning to use her again :)

Highly recommend Aida!! She did an amazing job with our two boys. She came well prepared with activities and books and kept them entertained with those and play the whole time. Would definitely look to have her watch our boys again! Thank you Aida!!

She’s the best! Treat her well! If we could hire her full time, we would do so in a heartbeat. Aida is a dream with our 5 & 2 yr old girls. She keeps them engaged by playing games, reading books, and has even brought over fun activities! Aida has watched our girls during the day and gets them down for bed at night. Our littles hate to see her go. She send pictures & updates while we’re gone. Aida is on time & great at communicating. She’s even recommended local businesses when we were in need of home repair! She goes above & beyond. A rare Diamond in the rough on this app.

Aida has been wonderful for all the times she has watched my little girl! She pays special attention to her wants and needs. She comforts her when upset and they invent cute games to play together so my daughter is always engaged and never bored! I feel more than safe leaving my little one with her and look forward to her watching my newest addition too when they are born! Aida is reliable, cheerful, kind and patient. Thank you, Aida!

Aida has watched my two boys (1&3) on multiple occasions for very long days. She is able to handle their energy and rebellious spirits with ease. At the end of the day the boys don’t want her to leave! She handles their dietary needs and sleep schedules with care so I know they are being taken care of with love, kindness and the same way I would be with them. You will not go wrong trusting Aida, she has the patience to handle anything thrown at her!

My (7yo) kiddo won’t stop talking about how much fun they had with Aida and if my 18mo could talk, I think she’d say the same! Aida is excellent with children, a natural, kept the kiddos engaged, fed, and oh so happy! They played together and they did fun activities too. She also actively kept us updated on how things were going which was so comforting for us and leaving us able to enjoy our date day/night! Huge thank you to Aida for everything!

Aida was incredibly kind to my daughter and followed direction well in meeting her developmental goals we stated before we left for our date night. Aida practiced numbers and colors with our 1 year old daughter and upon getting home we were delighted to hear our daughter saying numbers.
