Aurelia Bethesda
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! my name is Aurelia, I'm currently a student at Cambridge University and have lived abroad in both England and Germany for the past three years, but I was raised in Bethesda, Maryland, where I also completed high school—so I'm very familiar with the area! I have my own transportation, a clean record, and a strong background working with children. I spent 3 years coaching kids with autism on my weekends through the ACEing Autism tennis program and served as an assistant teacher, tutoring children with learning disabilities during my junior and senior years of high school. I've babysat on and off throughout my life, caring for children ages 3 to 10. I'm reliable, experienced, and passionate about creating a safe, fun environment for kids!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Natalie, and I am offering childcare services part-time! I have over 40 years of experience. I love working with infants & young ones. I had this family that I worked for 30 years that I started when their first child was 2mos. old & had their 2nd after 2yrs. Kids grew up with me & believe it or not, I still worked for them part time coz’ they don’t want to let me go. I speak Tagalog as well as English, and I hope to be a stress reliever when it comes to leaving your child at home!
