Hi! My name is Sara, and I am a behavior therapist supervisor working with kids with autism full time during the week. I have worked with children with and without special needs for over 15 years now. I have a masters in early childhood special education, and my BCBA, but I have experience babysitting and working with infants-adults. Thanks for your time, and please let me know if you have any other questions!
Hello families. My name is Anne and I'm an experienced bilingual babysitter who enjoys working with children of any age. Kids bring so much joy to the world and it creates happiness to see them grow and to nurture their creativity. I always try to adjust to children's unique needs. As a former physical therapist I'm comfortable caring for children with special needs. Favorite babysitting activities include arts and crafts, reading, being outdoors, meal prep and clean up, bath time and bed time routines. I like to cook and do not mind doing household chores. I do have a drivers license. If you think I'm a good match I would be happy to hear from you.
“Anne was great and we would highly recommend her. She cared after our 10 months old during our evening date, she was extremely punctual, professional and calm. She was also very flexible. We trusted her fully. Thank you! Edit to add after 10+ bookings with her - Anne Kathrin is definitely the most reliable and caring babysitter in the area. She’s cared after our son many evenings from age 10 months to 19 months and she’s the best from infancy to toddlerhood! ”
I have 25 plus years of experience caring/teaching children and managing a home. Besides raising three children of my own, I have also taught swimming lessons for 20 summers, substitute taught, homeschooled, cared for twins, managed diabetes, am CPR/AED/First Aid certified, Newborn Care Specialist cert, Birth and Postpartum Doula certs, held live-in and live-out positions in the MD, VA, DC area, and have excellent references. I enjoy taking children on fun outings to the zoo, library, parks, museums, live music, puppet shows, feed the ducks, etc. I am also very active and play or have played most sports. In addition to having fun with the children, I am very educational minded and I teach them at all stages of development--sitting, walking, talking, ABC's, numbers, colors, shapes, reading, manners, respect, thankfulness, kindness, sharing, etc. Kids love me and I love them! I do have a current background check and am happy to bring it with me or send to you by email.
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!”
Hello! My name is Lauren and I am 28 years old. I have a full time job as a financial analyst during the day and I’m usually free after work and occasionally on weekends. I love working with kids, being around children always puts a smile to my face. I have experience in babysitting for 5 years during college and a few years after. I’ve worked with kids in various ages from infant to teenagers. I love being outdoors and taking walks outside if the weather is nice, if not I have a variety of board games and movies to enjoy indoors.
