Find a babysitter in Glen Echo, MD

Friendly and reliable babysitter with 3–5 years of experience caring for kids of all ages. I’m passionate about creating a fun, safe environment, and I love dogs too! I have my own car, so transportation is never an issue. Looking forward to meeting your family!

I am a postgraduate adult with over six years of professional experience as a babysitter, complemented by more than fifteen years of hands-on caregiving as an older sister to my younger sibling. From an early age, I developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness, which has naturally carried into my work with children. My experience spans supporting children’s daily routines, fostering a safe and nurturing environment, and engaging them in age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. I am passionate about spending time with children and supporting their growth in a positive, caring way. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and traveling, interests that help me stay active, curious, and adaptable—qualities I bring into my caregiving approach. I value meaningful connections, clear communication, and creating experiences where children feel supported, understood, and encouraged to explore the world around them.

I have a ton of little cousins so I was the babysitter in my family growing up and have always been around kids of all ages, which is what got me into childcare in the beginning. Patients is key, in my opinion, and anything can be taught with both patients and determination. I grew up playing many different sports and think exercise is important but I my passion is reading and I love doing read alouds with the kids. It can surprise people how much some of the older kids appreciate being read to.
