Tatiana 3 reviews
Washington
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have well over 5 years of experience working with youth of all ages as a babysitter, coach, assistant teacher, and through additional childcare roles during college. I have experience tutoring, helping with homework, light cleaning during services, cooking meals, caring for pets, and assisting seniors. I bring both personal and professional caregiving experience. I genuinely love children and believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where they feel supported and valued. I’m flexible, respectful of different parenting styles, adaptable to each family’s needs, and I always bring a positive, caring attitude. I also have experience caring for children with disabilities.

Tati has been watching my daughter for almost two years now, almost once a month and I trust her completely with my busy 3-year-old. My daughter loves her, which means everything to me. She’s very attentive and careful, especially since my daughter has multiple allergies, and she treats my baby girl like her own. As a girl dad, it’s not easy leaving your child with just anyone but Tati has earned my trust. She’s reliable, honest, and dependable. On a scale of 1–5, I’d give her a 6.

Hello! My name is Bitania (Bee-tan-ya) and I would be happy to help any family in need of a caring sitter! I have experience caring for infants and children below the age of 13 from taking care of my little cousins and younger brother (since birth). I worked in my church's nursery for 4 years, which had children aged 1-8 years old. I love to get creative and make games/activities for the kids I care for. I am energetic and can keep up with kid’s high energy! I am currently working in child life and development and have been trained to do activities with babies that support their mental development and physical growth. I am also CPR certified and was trained as an emergency medical responder. I am a recent college graduate and can assist with homework assignments or tutoring! I have no problem preparing meals and helping with a bed/bath routine as well. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and don't mind wearing a mask in the house if that's your preference. Thank you for reading my intro :).

Booked by 2 families in Edgewater, MD

Hi there! My name is Kyra-Marie, I’m 21 years old. I’m a warm, creative, and responsible caregiver with 6 years of experience working with children of all ages. I currently work in classrooms and hold a DCPS Clearance, as I’m contracted by a third party to work in schools. This makes me comfortable supporting kids in both learning and play in and outside classrooms A little about me: I love listening to music, reading, playing piano, traveling, and dancing. My favorite color is pink, and I absolutely love springtime! I am Pediatric First Aid and CPR certified. I’m confident in caring for children with special needs, including ADHD, autism, asthma, anxiety, food allergies, OCD, tics, and visual impairments. I enjoy engaging kids through drawing, reading, crafts, music, and fun games. I’m also happy to help with cooking, light chores, and homework. I also am comfortable with taking children on walks during the day exploring the neighborhoods, going to museums, and going to playgrounds. If you’re looking for an empathetic and dependable babysitter who will care for your children like family, I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Kyra is punctual, responsible and fun to be around. My kids had a good time and will invite her more.
