Booked by 3 families in Annandale, VA

I got my most experience from raising my three kids, and I always loved being surrounded with children even before having my own. so after graduating from college I worked as a pre-school teacher for 2 years in my country where I enjoyed creating fun activities for children, teaching and playing with them. In the last few years working as a part-time babysitter for children ranging from infants a few months old to 13-year-olds gives me a broad view of child development and a strong foundation for managing different age groups. As a mom, spending time with my kids was and still so precious to me, and I assure you that I will treat your kids and take care of them like they were my own. I am available early morning and afternoon , and the whole day on Thursday and Sunday, and I will be more than glad to help in taking care of your kids during these times. I have First Aid/CPR/AED certification, & up to date on flu vaccine. *References available upon request.

“We had a wonderful experience with Fatima. She arrived on time and was very friendly. My son has a hard time when we leave and she handled it really well. I will definitely be using her again in the future. ”

Hello families! I am a new user of UrbanSitter so allow me introduce myself: My name is Maria, I am from Colombia, and I am studying biology on a pre-medical track! I have been in childcare since the age of 14 when I would help out at a family member’s daycare during the summer.
