Hi, I'm Shavonne. I have a Bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development and have 10+ years babysitting experience. Besides babysitting I have various experiences working with children: I've worked as a youth tennis coach, taught Sunday school for 5-7 year olds, was a respite care worker for a child with special needs, interned in an infant classroom at a highly reputed lab school, spent almost 4 years teaching preschool and now I have been doing child development work for SF county for over 5 years. I have experience babysitting children ranging in age from 2 weeks to teenagers and families of up to 5 early childhood aged siblings at once. While babysitting, I enjoy engaging the children in arts and crafts activities; imaginative play; outings to parks and museums; and helping school aged children with homework. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, playing tennis, and spending time with friends and family.

Hello, my name is Michelle and I’ve taken care of kids since the end of my high school year. What I most like about babysitting is the environment the child makes by being creative and learning from each thing they do and it’s basically never a dull moment. My motive is to help out parents and give them a fresh start each day when coming back home from work. I also have experience with newborns. I am a recent college graduate and soon to transferring to University to get my bachelors degree.

Hello, I'm Perla. With 12 years of experience in child care, I’ve worked as an au pair in France, Switzerland, and Canada, caring for children from various families. I have experience caring for special needs children and am known for being professional, proactive, and adaptable to each family's unique needs. I speak Spanish, French, and English (currently learning Japanese and ASL). Since moving to DC in 2017 to work at the IMF as a childcare provider for senior French diplomatic personnel, I’ve had the pleasure of supporting local and international families in their children's growth and development. I’m Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED-BL certified, fully vaccinated and boosted. I love spending time with kids and enjoy nature, sports, food, art, and animals. Thank you for your trust and consideration. Perla A.
