I graduated May 2023 with a B. S. in music studies and psychology with a concentration in children and families with the goal of becoming a music therapist and working with children and adolescents. I have a 7-year-old sister who is my absolute favorite person, I spent a lot of time caring for her at the beginning of COVID especially. I am very active and I love working with children and animals. I enjoy spending time outside and doing arts and crafts. I worked in a Mental Health Residential facility for one year caring for teenagers between the ages of 11-17. During this time I became First Aid/CPR certified, MAT certified, and trained in food safety. I briefly worked with children diagnosed with autism as a behavioral technician in 2024. I am currently working as a full time nanny for an 8 year old girl. I am very passionate about working with children and adolescents who have a variety of needs. I am also comfortable with pets, I grew up around dogs for most of my life and even pet sit sometimes now. I love cats and currently have two of my own.
Hello my name is winy and I’m from Colombia. I’m a English and Spanish teacher recently graduated and I’m currently living in Alexandria offering child care, pet care and household services. I have previous experience as baby sitter, since I was 15 years old I’ve been watching infants, toddlers and even teenager’s. I’d love children and enjoy having time for games, make different activities and having fun. I’m patient, responsable and creative person. In addition I have work before as a teacher back in my country with groups of different ages in classroom and outside environments. So helping with Spanish lessons will be also include as part of my service. I’m pet lover so I can definitely work with family’s with dogs or cats. I can drive, cook or do other tasks.

My name is Kate and I am college student looking to obtain more babysitting jobs while home during the summer and winter breaks! I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience with a wide variety of ages, the youngest being 5 months. I have had the pleasure of working with multiple families when their children were babies and have continued watching them as toddlers and elementary schoolers. I am a reliable babysitter who is always on time and committed to giving my full attention to the children to ensure they are safe and happy. I love keeping the children engaged through games, art activities, playing outside, imaginative play, storytelling, and reading. I am also happy to help with homework or learning based activities. Finally, I am responsible and will always follow instructions regarding activities, meal times, and bedtime routines. I can also assist with housework including cleaning up toys, preparing meals, and doing dishes. Feel free to ask any questions!
