Find a babysitter in Silver Spring, MD

Hi! I'm Lisa. I'm a dedicated, energetic, and personable mom of four who has been raising my family for the past 11 years - my children are 4, 6, 9 and 11. As the third oldest of eight, I have a lifetime of experience with babysitting, bonding with, and helping children. I don't shy away from household work, either! I am looking to get back into the workforce in a capacity that both suits my own schedule and allows me to highlight my strengths. In addition to my practical experience of being a mom and running a household, I have past experience in the professional workforce. Those jobs have included office manager, administrative assistant, file clerk, and similar positions. In each of my past jobs, there has been some element of at least some of these skills: organizing; maintaining and at times devising filing systems - both digital and traditional; maintaining calendars/schedules; training co-workers; writing manuals. Writing, proofreading, and editing are great strengths of mine and ones I enjoy utilizing. I have previously cared for others' children, as well as been a dogsitter and cat sitter. Understanding the demands of parenthood (and adulthood in general), I also understand the demands of family life. Need light housework, laundry, reorganizing/cleaning spaces, or other such tasks in your home or office? Lessening the weight of these loads will allow you and your family to function better. (I have a great interest in highlighting and growing my organizing talents!) Other qualifications that might be of help to you: *packing/unpacking before and after moves *switching out seasonal clothes *making donation lists/inputting into databases *organizing online files, folders, and photos *maintaining (and setting up if needed) filing systems for bills and other paperwork *helping elementary school-aged children with homework (possibly older kids too) *reading to children (and adults!) *planning and setting up for parties (and cleaning up afterward too!) I am personable, a fast learner, enthusiastic, sincere, and have a lot of experience interacting with people in various settings. Meeting families through this platform is an exciting prospect for me. I am open to other positions that I have not listed here and look forward to meeting you soon!

Hi! I'm Kathleen and have had sitting gigs/volunteer gigs with kids on and off since high school. I have eight nieces and nephews, so I am super comfortable with kids & there's not much I haven't seen!

Hello! I am friendly, creative, and have experience working with infants to school-age children. Additionally, I can also provide care for seniors, pets, and plants.

Hi! I’m Ava. I am in my early full time career following graduating college in 2024. Growing up as the oldest kid on my street by about 10 years & my mom being a full time nanny, I have plenty of experience working with children of all ages and behaviors. I have long been the go-to for my community in Northern Virginia, and I’m excited to spend my free time doing the same in the DC area. Aside from babysitting, I’ve spent 4 summers as a full time nanny to two different families with children ranging from 3 to 11. Before I kicked off my full time marketing career, I worked in marketing for a summer camp in DC, where I quickly became many parent’s point of contact and go-to when children needed additional support. I make a conscious effort to lead my childcare approach with empathy & patience and it is something I have so much fun doing. Looking forward to supporting parents in the DC community!
