Hello! My name is Adreana and I a junior at Trinity University DC. I am currently looking for a flexible job that allows me to do what I love while also going to school! I am providing babysitting services as well as private education/tutoring. I have been doing both for about 4 years now and absolutely love it! I am currently a preschool teacher so I’m comfortable with working with more than one child and having a set schedule! I also don’t mind doing light cleaning and helping out in any way I can! During my time I will have set activities for the children, good habits never die and I love just having crafts and fun that work and mold the mind!
I am a goofy, smiley 26 year old who loves infants and children. I have 5 years of experience working with children and babysitting. I work as a CNA in Postpartum and Pediatrics. I am very comfortable caring for infants and young children (therefore very patient :)). I am also comfortable with pets, and am willing to help with small tasks around the house if asked!
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!

I love babysitting because I get to build relationships with the kids I babysit, and working with kids is something I love. I now currently reside in Alexandria, Virginia working at an accounting firm in their Advisory practice!
