Booked by 1 family in Dulles, VA

Hi, My name is Marie and I am currently babysitting. I am offering child care. I have 3 children, with one in the spectrum. I worked in a child center with new born, infants, toddlers and toddlers. I also have experience working with special needs children age 4 to 15. I am a native French speaker and I love to teach and tutor children to learn and speak French while having fun.

“Marie was absolutely wonderful with our three-year-old. She is professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with. What really stood out to us is her experience with autism, she handled everything with patience, confidence, and care. From the moment she arrived, she connected quickly with our child and needed very little direction, which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell she genuinely cares and takes her role seriously. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family, and we’ll definitely be hiring her again!” ”

BERNICE 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am married since 32 years with 2 beautiful children and 2 sweet rescue dogs. My husband was in the Army for 30 years where I maintained myself as a piano teacher moving every 1 - 3 years. I truly love kids and dogs very much . I babysit multiple kids and special needs kids since 8 years on care.com with fun and compassion by mixing reading, music, outdoor activities, German games, German songs, crafts and any activities the child likes and the parents approve. Babies giggle about my funny expressions and sounds. I am willing to drive up to 30 miles for date nights. Thank you !

“Bernice is an absolute delight! My 3 and 7 year old boys loved her and felt comfortable right away (which is not always the case). She is on time, responds fast to my texts, and my kids always seem to enjoy their time with her. She goes out of her way to play with my boys and keep them entertained. It feels nice to be able to relax and not worry about them, knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help! I’ll be reaching back out again soon.”

"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!"
