Hi! My name is Shannon and I’ve been in DC for 6 years. I offer babysitting services for families and at a local church nursery. I’ve always loved kids and have 3 nieces and 1 nephew. I love playing games with them and going to park whenever I am back home and spent a lot of time with them before moving to DC. I started babysitting in high school and also worked at a local gym in their Kid Zone. There, I’d create and lead crafts, organize games, and maintain and safe and fun environment. At the church nursery, I usually babysit kids under 2 years old. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages.

Megan was wonderful! She accepted the job last minute and jumped right in with my three kids. The next day they all agreed she was “so nice” and asked if she could come back again!

Here are a few things I bring to the role: • Extensive experience with multiple children and families over the years • CPR/First Aid knowledge (optional – let me know if you’re certified and want to add that) • Safe and reliable transportation – I have a clean driving record and my own car • Flexible, dependable, and punctual • Basic Spanish speaker – comfortable communicating and supporting bilingual children • Organized and proactive – I can help with after-school routines, homework, snack prep, and light tidying • Loving, calm, and attentive approach to every child I care for I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids, while also respecting the routines and values of each family. Please feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a trustworthy and experienced babysitter for your family!

Both our boys,9 and 3, had so much fun with Michaela. She played games with them, puzzles, read books, took them outside for a walk and prepared food for them. She communicated great with us the entire time - she also sent us several pictures of our boys playing together to keep us updated. She’s very engaging, communicative and friendly. Our boys absolutely love her (they were super excited to play with her again). We felt she became a very important part of our family. We miss her!
