“I got stuck in DC because of flight cancellations and ending up with my 3 year old daughter and prep meeting with clients for an important next day meeting. Mary Beth arrived at the hotel promptly (in advance) and with only a request that afternoon. My daughter loved her. Indeed, she was able to do things with Patina that are hard for me -- get her to draw, tell stories, get her PJs on, and get into bed on time. Terrific.”

Hi, my name is Jennifer Vo and I graduated from the University of Virginia in May 2025 and I am working a full-time job. I am free after 6pm in the Tysons-Alexandria area and offering childcare services. I absolutely love working with kids! I know they can be a handful sometimes, but with the right patience, they're absolutely a joy. I have babysat for over 5 years and I've worked with kids of all ranges, including infants, toddlers, and kids. My responsibilities have been driving them to and from places, making them dinner, bathing them, and putting them to sleep, and taking care of them up to 9 hours.

“Jennifer was prompt, courteous, and my kids enjoyed their time together!”

Silvia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Silvia and I am thrilled to be your family's new caregiver. I love working with infant, toddles and kids watching them grown up. I have been babysitting kids since I was 15 years old! I have three kids of my own that I love with all my heart and watching my youngest son going to school makes me realize that I miss taking care of some little feet 😊 I am very passionate about taking care of kids, patient, clean and organized.
