Find a babysitter in Garrett Park, MD

I am an energetic and hardworking recent graduate with 10 years of experience of increasing responsibility in childcare. I have recently relocated from the Bronx NYC area, back to the Columbia Heights DC area! I am able to respond efficiently and creatively to unusual or difficult situations and am highly adept at planning and supervising children while constructing a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. Here is a bit of background about me: I grew up in the heart of Washington DC and have worked as a local babysitter for upwards of four years. In addition to having an impressive record of parent and child satisfaction, I am also highly proficient in structuring playtime and lessons to fit the needs of children under my supervision. I can efficiently cook for and feed children, actively engage children in exciting activities ( i.e. park visits, Lego building tournaments, dancing games), and perform light housekeeping if needed. Professionally, I have worked as a middle school math tutor and mentor. I've also worked as a camp counselor at Sidwell Summer and was responsible for creating and supervising daily activities, engaging campers, managing behavior, and maintaining a welcoming an exciting atmosphere.

Hello families! My name is Claire Guthrie. I am currently living in Idaho, but will be moving to D.C. in June for school. I am going to school for early childhood development, I will be doing classes online and will be attending part time. I am looking for an amazing family to work for as a nanny. I have about 1 1/2 years of experience at a daycare. I worked mostly with toddlers and infants but got a ton of experience with school age children as well. I currently work as a nanny for 18 month old twin boys. I’ve been working with them for 14 months, and enjoyed every moment of it. It breaks my heart to leave, but I need to further my career and get an education. I need to work full time to keep up with living expenses and ask for at least $25 an hour considering I am living by myself, and going to school as well. I am also open to date nights and other babysitting jobs as well! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Thanks, Claire

With over 12 years of professional childcare experience, I have supported children from infancy through adolescence by creating safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environments. My approach blends structure, compassion, and intentional teaching, ensuring children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to grow. In addition to hands-on childcare, I serve as a positive role model, consistently demonstrating emotional regulation, patience, communication skills, and respect. I help children develop strong routines, social skills, independence, and confidence through age-appropriate activities and consistent guidance. My background as a bilingual teaching assistant, combined with training including 40-hour RBT coursework and CPR/First Aid, allows me to support children with varying needs, learning styles, and temperaments. I model kindness, empathy, responsibility, and problem-solving while maintaining clear expectations that promote healthy development. Overall, I provide a blend of gentle leadership, educational support, and emotional stability, helping children feel valued, capable, and inspired to be their best selves. I have also served as a household manager for 6 years. As part of my responsibilities I managed daily operations, overseeing household staff (cleaning services, contractors, maintenance workers), and signing relevant documents while keeping a copy for record documentation. In addition, handled grocery shopping and inventory; meal planning/preparation when needed based on preferences and specific requests. Furthermore, I kept household supplies inventory (cleaning, office, laundry, tools and equipment, paper and waste products, etc). Ensured to drop off & pick up packages; as well as the drop off and and pick up of dry clean clothes. Finally, I was responsible for scheduling car cleaning services, filling up the tank whenever needed and taking the vehicle to the dealership, or preferred service center for maintenance.
