Booked by 34 families in Mc Lean, VA

Hi! My name is Monica, and I am a babysitter with several years of experience. I have cared for children between the ages of 1 and 10. My responsibilities have included walking children to and from school, playing games, reading together, and supporting evening routines, among other tasks. I have also worked with children in educational settings. During the academic year, I work full-time as a high school educator. I am currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting opportunities. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy spending time with dogs, reading, and running. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish for families interested in supporting dual-language learning.

Monica is lovely! The kids really enjoyed playing games with her, they went to bed on time, too :-) Happy to have Monica babysit again!

Hello! I’ve been providing childcare for a range of ages in the District for over 15 years. I am a social worker, artist, and love to be outside. I am high energy and find hanging out with children and entertaining them to be so much fun! I am very comfortable with animals as well, I love dogs! Currently I have some families I provide dog sitting for in their homes when they go on trips. I volunteer at an animal sanctuary farms and rescue shelters, comfortable with all types of animals. I use this app to connect with families to build good working relationships, and many families I currently work with have worked with me for many years. Unfortunately I cannot offer full time child care, but I am a great option for date nights or weekends.

Booked by 16 families in Mc Lean, VA

Hi! My name is Azucena, but you can call me Suzy. I have over 7 years of experience providing child care for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I began babysitting in 2016, starting with an agency before transitioning to caring for families on a part-time basis and helping out on date nights. My past responsibilities have included school and summer camp pick-ups, as well as homework help. I’m a big fan of arts and crafts and love playing board games! I’m currently available for occasional babysitting and date nights, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. Looking forward to connecting!
