Hi, I'm Shavonne. I have a Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development and have 10+ years babysitting experience. Besides babysitting I have various experiences working with children: I've worked as a youth tennis coach, taught Sunday school for 5-7 year olds, was a respite care worker for a child with special needs, interned in an infant classroom at a highly reputed lab school, spent almost 4 years teaching preschool and now I have been doing child development work for SF county for over 5 years. I have experience babysitting children ranging in age from 2 weeks to teenagers and families of up to 5 early childhood aged siblings at once. While babysitting, I enjoy engaging the children in arts and crafts activities; imaginative play; outings to parks and museums; and helping school aged children with homework. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, playing tennis, and spending time with friends and family.

Hi! I work for DC Public Library and have been working in libraries for over 7 years now and I love it! I'm happy to get back to sitting occasionally to spend time engaging in fun activities like park visits, imaginative play, reading, kid-friendly cooking, and music/art! I don't have kids of my own so getting to spend time and care for others is a joy and privilege that I don't take for granted. I enjoy being a caregiver and sharing the present moment with kids. It feels less like work and more like an escape from my daily routine! My schedule varies as I work every other weekend and one full weekend a month (both Saturday and Sunday). I also have Thursday mornings off if anyone needs help then! I've worked with children aged 1 to 12 and infants (3 months+) locally since 2011. Before DC, I went abroad to au pair for a family with two young children (2 and 4 years old when I arrived). My duties have included: Meal prep/ Feeding (bottles, babyfood etc.) Light housekeeping Drop offs/ Pick ups Caring for sick toddlers and infants Medicine Adminstration Activities and Outings Supervision and chaperoning in various settings (home and away) Tutoring and homework help Help caring for pets (dogs and cats) My longest full-time childcare job was working abroad as an au pair. I stayed with the family for over a year and a half, working afternoons, all day Wednesday (off-school day), and the occasional evening, weekend, or vacation sitting.

“Aimee connected with our girls right away. She was on-time, and had great communication throughout. Would definitely recommend!”
