Booked by 1 family in Annandale, VA

Hi family! My name is Ángela, I am 25 years old and originally from Colombia. I have childcare experience from my home country, caring for children of different ages. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment for them. I am responsible, patient, and reliable, and I always prioritize the children’s well-being and daily routines. I also love dogs and feel comfortable being around pets. I would love the opportunity to support your family.

“Angela helped us out last minute to babysit our daughter who was home sick from school. She arrived a few minutes early and immediately engaged our daughter. You can tell she is both an experienced babysitter and a lovely person. Our daughter reported that she was “so, so nice.” We look forward to having her over again! ”

Hi! My name is Danielle and I'm an elementary teacher assistant for Arlington Public Schools. I am offering child care during after school hours and weekends. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for children preschool-aged and older since middle school! I also have a few years of experience with infants and toddlers, and have worked in several childcare centers. I have my own car, am First Aid and CPR certified, and happy to share proof of my COVID vaccinations and background check clearance. Pricing is negotiable :)

“Dani was great with the kids and we will definitely work with her again and will recommend here to others.”

Natalie 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Caring for children has always been a meaningful part of my life. I began by helping raise my sister, who is 13 years younger than me, and over the years I’ve cared for cousins, friends’ children, and others in my community. I started babysitting in high school and continued for several years, both professionally and informally, developing experience with children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens (up to 12 years old). I am confident and capable in managing routines, playtime, meals, and the unique personalities of each child. In addition to childcare, I’ve worked in fast-paced environments such as law firms, World Bank events and high-end restaurants, which has honed my organizational skills, ability to multitask, and calmness under pressure. I’m family-oriented, creative and culturally diverse. English is my first language and I speak perfect Spanish. I’m also familiar with Arabic language and culture, allowing me to connect with children from different backgrounds. With a foundation in arts and hospitality, I enjoy engaging kids through creativity, interactive play, and making meals fun and appealing. I’ve recently returned to babysitting as a way to earn extra income doing something I genuinely love, and I take the responsibility very seriously!

“Natalie is incredible with my kids and is such a fun, engaging, and genuinely interesting person. She has a natural ability to connect with children in a way that feels both relatable and grounding, while still keeping things structured and functional. She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and responsible, and you can immediately tell that caregiving comes naturally to her. My kids adore her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they are in her care. Your children will be in excellent hands with Natalie.”

"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!"
