Hello! If you are seeking a seasoned, kind, compassionate and highly intuitive caregiver, you have come to the right profile! My background in professional theater, education and special education have honed my innate talents in connecting with and providing positive and enriching experiences for the children and young adults with whom I have worked. My charges have included many children who are neurodiverse including those with Autism. I'm fit, active and energetic with "fun Auntie" or "cool (young) G-ma" vibes. But I'm also a more type B, caregiver who would be perfect for a child that needs a bit more of a nurturing presence rather than just a playmate. I also adore Dogs and am available to care for SMALL dogs.
Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a consultant living and working in Northern Virginia. I have experience babysitting children through my college town in Vermont and while growing up in Central Florida. I speak English and Korean fluently, can cook and clean efficiently, and I am very detail-oriented. I also do CrossFit, run, and played collegiate golf. I am committed to providing attentive care that meets the needs of your loved ones! I am very comfortable with dogs and cats, and would happily babysit in households with pets and children or outright watch either. I am also CPR certified!

“Laura is incredible! Laura is always on time and extremely flexible. She took great care of my two sons. She is kind and caring, while also helping to help my oldest (Timmy) with school! I would book her again anytime. Can’t’ wait for another night out with my husband!”
Hi! I’m Sam, a California native and a recent graduate from GW. I love staying active and going with the kids’ flow, whether it’s playing outside, doing creative activities, or enjoying a movie. I have several years of babysitting and tutoring experience with kids of all ages, and I'm skilled in morning routines, school drop-offs, and overnight care. I'm also a dog lover with experience in dog-sitting, ensuring pets get the attention they need while their owners are away.
I'm just a really cool guy. I'm also short of the 150 character minimum for this blob, so I guess I'll just keep typing random stuff until I reach th
“Took great care of my dog!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
