I am a caring, responsible, and patient babysitter with over two years of experience working with children in both public schools and childcare settings. I hold master's degrees in Linguistics and Political Science, and I enjoy helping children learn through reading, creative play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and educational games. I am reliable and committed to creating a positive experience for every family. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your children!

Hello! My name is Mary Elizabeth, and I am a recent college graduate who just moved to Washington, DC. I grew up babysitting for families in my church and was a camp counselor for many years. I also grew up on a farm taking care of dogs, cats, and horses! I am a dependable and responsible person with great attention to detail. I have experience with all ages. I was a cross country and track runner in college, so I love being active and I have plenty of energy to play with kiddos! I have experience tutoring as well, and would love to help out with homework.

Hi! My name is Betsabe, but everyone calls me Bet 🙂 I'm a loving, patient, and responsible caregiver. I might be a little shy with adults at first, but I'm completely silly and fun with children! I have 10 years of extensive childcare experience, including 1 year of professional caregiving here in the USA. My experience spans all age groups, from newborns to teenagers. My primary language is Spanish, so I'm happy to help children practice their Spanish language skills! Also, one of my personal goals is to improve my English, which makes me even more motivated to communicate clearly and engage. I truly enjoy making little friends and creating warm and loving connections with children. I focus on providing a safe, nurturing, and happy environment where children feel supported, cared for, and comfortable being themselves. I use my diverse skills in Photography, Arts and Crafts, Cooking, Sports (Running, Cycling, Soccer, Swimming), and Dance to encourage creativity, healthy habits, and fun learning in every interaction. I am also happy to provide homework assistance and tutoring. I have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record for safe transportation, if needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and am happy to help care for family pets (dogs, cats, etc.) as needed. Professional Credentials: • Red Cross - Advanced Child Care Training Course Certificate. • First Aid and CPR Certified. • Childcare Accident Prevention Promoter.

Hi! I’m Shannon and I've just finished my Master’s at the London School of Economics and recently moved back to Washington, D.C. I went to George Washington University for undergrad and have lived in D.C. for almost seven years, so I know the area well and love being back in the city. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have worked with kids of all ages, from tiny newborns to energetic middle schoolers. I absolutely love spending time with kids and finding fun, creative things to do together (whether that’s setting up a scavenger hunt around the house, crafting, dancing, or planning activities that match their unique interests)! In the past, I’ve also tutored and taught ballet, so I’m always happy to help with homework or come up with ways to get everyone moving and having fun. I used to do school and activity pick-ups (though I don’t have a car in D.C. right now), and I’m more than happy to help out around the house by cooking dinner, tidying up, or running light errands. I’m a big animal lover too! I have lots of experience with dogs and some with cats, and I even volunteered at an animal rescue for a few years. Families I’ve worked with in the past have described me as dependable, warm, and creative and I’d be happy to share references. My schedule is very flexible right now as I’m job-hunting, so I can easily adjust to what your family needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Nurturing young minds is truly a passion of mine. My two years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, has solidified my desire to support families by providing reliable care. I enjoy engaging kids with outdoor sports, board games, and even educational activities. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I communicate with parents through verbal updates, text, or whichever method you prefer. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I am allergic to cats but I am fine with dogs! I am a current student at Howard University where I study Political Science and Arabic. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I speak some Arabic and Chinese. I love school and really prioritize my schoolwork. I am able to help with school work and studying! I am fully vaccinated, have a valid drivers license, and clean driving record. I look forward to bringing my calm energy and love for learning to your family.
