I work with families on the Eastside and Seattle areas during weekday evenings between 5pm-10pm. This is a wonderful time for support since babies are often fussier in the evenings and families appreciate an extra set of hands when they are feeling tired after a long day.

I require payment for hourly services at the end of each work week, and I accept cash, check, or Venmo.
