Sophia $20 per hour for 1 child

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!

Booked by 2 families in Springfield, VA

I'm a middle school teacher in the Georgetown neighborhood and living in Courthouse. I can also help with tutoring and have 5 years of experience as a math tutor at the middle school level. Being a teacher, I'm CPR certified. I've been a summer camp counselor and babysitter for over 10 years. Outside the classroom, I love spending time outdoors, baking and volunteering.

Renee was absolutely wonderful. We were in town for the weekend and were a little nervous about finding a reliable sitter for our kids in a new city. Renee cared for my kids two nights in a row, and they had so much fun playing games all evening that they did not want her to leave! We felt very comfortable leaving the kids in her care, as she is very responsible and professional, and has a natural rapport with kids. If we lived in DC, I would hire her regularly!

Nickname (preferred): Vicky I have many amazing experience with young children (toddler+), my true love is pup care!! In the past decade I've dog cared for dogs old and young, social and antisocial, and those between homes. In order to give each pup the unique care and experience they deserve, I primarily care for pups one at a time, and only those with whom I can form a genuine bond. Lunchtime and after work walks are my favorite, 1-2x/wk. Regularly scheduled care is preferred. I am fully employed but work from home, and so have flexibility. Whether you have a yard, live in an apartment, or need your pet crated, your pet will always be safe and sound in my care.

The best sitter I ever had, dependable, very caring, and attending to all needs. Highly recommended.

"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!"
