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.
“Perla was extraordinary and everything you could ask for. We really enjoyed our time with Perla. She came prepared, she was kind and just overall amazing.”
I’m a proud mom of two and a very social person who loves caring for both children and the elderly. I have over 2 years of professional experience in early childhood education, in addition to years of caring for my own children. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, which means your little one will always be safe in my care. My passion for working with kids inspired me to start a nonprofit called Unik Cause, where I support orphaned and needy children back home in Senegal (West Africa). Through babysitting, I not only care for children with love and patience, but I also dedicate part of my time and earnings to helping those in need. What I Offer: Loving, attentive, and safe childcare CPR & First Aid certified care Fun playtime, reading, and creative games French-speaking caregiver (I can introduce or teach French to your little one if you’d like) Responsible, trustworthy, and committed to treating your child as if they were my own Why Families Choose Me: Children feel comfortable and happy around me because I make every interaction fun, warm, and full of kindness. My goal is to make both children and parents feel safe and supported. 💓 I’d be honored to become part of your family’s support system and care for your little one with dedication and love. I look forward to meeting you!
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.
I am dedicated and dependable with 10years experience as a baby sitter. Am flexible and adaptable with extensive knowledge of childcare and development. Am devoted to helping children in what they have a passion for. I love to help out in school work, light meal preparation and generally take care of the kids. Am fun, responsible and loving and at the same time know how to set boundaries and maintain decorum in the home at all times. However and unfortunately, I am not animal friendly
“She was wonderful. We came back to kids sleeping peacefully and a living room cleaned up from all toys and dinner. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”
