Hello! My name is Chloé, and I have a background in college-level engineering studies, with several years of professional childcare, tutoring, and after-school teaching experience. I am also stepping into a role as a paraeducator with Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). My experience ranges from infants through school-age children and includes recurring infant care, after-school care, transportation, meals, and bedtime routines. As someone with a STEM background, I'm also comfortable providing homework support. From March 2024 to October 2025, I worked as an after-school teacher at Lafayette Elementary with students from pre-K through fifth grade and provided French and math tutoring at Maryvale Elementary. I also speak English and French. My private-family experience includes infant and school-age care, multi-child care, school pickups and transportation, overnight and extended care, and supporting children with ADHD and autism. I recently provided care for an infant, beginning when she was two months old, including both full-time and recurring care arrangements. My responsibilities included feeding, diaper changes, naps, tummy time, teething support, developmental play, maintaining routines, cleaning and sanitizing bottles, toys, and baby items, infant laundry, and keeping the baby’s spaces clean and organized. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and prioritize safety, structure, and positive engagement. I’m calm, communicative, attentive, and comfortable following established routines. Because of my daytime school schedule, my regular availability is Monday through Friday after 3:30 PM, as well as fully open and flexible schedules on Saturdays and Sundays. I’m currently seeking recurring care during these afternoons, evenings, and weekends, with some scheduling flexibility depending on the family's needs. I’m also open to occasional evening, weekend, overnight, and extended care.
“Very attentive & keeps in contact throughout the job. ”
Hi! I'm Catalina, a caring, responsible, and bilingual caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages, from infants and toddlers to adolescents. I have a background in Psychology and experience working with children with special needs, as well as extensive experience as a nanny and childcare provider. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can feel comfortable and engaged. I love doing age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and creative activities. I’m also happy to support families with routines, homework, and bedtime when needed. I’m CPR trained, have reliable transportation, and can provide references. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and am comfortable working with both children and pets. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting in the afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I’m happy to help with date nights, occasional childcare, school pick-ups, or when parents simply need an extra hand.
“Catalina was an incredible caretaker for my daughter! My daughter warmed to her right away. Catalina had many ideas for crafts and activities to keep my daughter engaged for a full day - and what a fun surprise for me to see their artwork at the end of the day! Catalina is calm, friendly, and knowledgeable about children. It was a great experience!”
Hello There, I trust you and your family are well! You might notice my last review is from 2020, that’s simply because I’ve been fortunate to work long-term with a few wonderful families since then. My relationships often last for years, and many of the families I’ve supported have truly become like family to me. I hold a Master’s of Arts (M.A.) in School Counseling, & M.Ed in Education Policy and Leadership. I have more than fourteen years of private childcare experience ranging from newborn to 15 years of age. I support children's emotional and social development, encouraging understanding of others and positive self-concepts. My goal has always been to provide children with the necessary care. I am dedicated to creating an atmosphere that is fun,stimulating, encouraging, safe and adaptive to each child's individual needs. Should you have any questions, feel free to message me.
“A miracle worker. Absolutely amazing. Wish she lived in SF.”
Hi! I graduated from the University of Michigan as a Master of Social Work candidate, where I specialized in working with children and families. I have been babysitting for 10 years now, and have experience with all ages, including newborns
“Kate had great questions beforehand, arrived early, and was so warm + personable with the kids. Would certainly hire her again!”
Hi! My name is Carol. I have more than 6 years of experience in and out the country, with children of all ages, since newborns to teenagers. I also worked in a preschool for almost 2 years before I moved to United States. I love taking care of kids and empathize with them! Keeping them safe is my priority and making them happy is my best job!!🤗
“Carol is awesome! She has been working for our family four days a week for more than 6 months. She is incredibly reliable and responsible; she is an excellent driver, and she drives my kids to their after-school activities around Bethesda. She always arrives on time and has never missed a day. She is thoughtful and diligent about her work for our family. She is responsible for our two adolescent boys after school, she prepares meals for the kids, helps us manage the household, and she is responsive to any tasks we need her help with. She has been a tremendous resource to our family and I whole-heartedly recommend her.”
