Hi, my name is Aicha. I’m 21 years old and I just graduated from Montgomery College. I fluently speak French and English. I love babysitting because I enjoy making kids smile and keeping them happy.

Hello, my name is Isabel. I have worked with children for 3 going on 4 years. Currently, I work at a child care center . I have experience with multiple children at a time. I have fun, creative activities for the children so they're not in front of the TV. I love children and enjoy watching them play and learn new things. I always make sure that the children are comfortable in their environment. I'm available for date nights, an the occasional work days. I have a car and a clean driving record. Since I do work at a daycare I have a background check. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile , I hope I'll hear from you.
Hi my name is Sarah and I have been babysitting for approximately 15 years. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and young kids. I also am a mother of a 5 year old and often times, I babysit our cousins, my nephew and other friend’s children. I started babysitting at the age of 15. My duties include transporting kids to/from school, some tutoring, arts and crafts, and some household chores. I also used to work as a swim instructor and lifeguard. I mainly taught classes aging from 3-12. I was a swim instructor and lifeguard for approximately 6 years. I was also a caretaker for both of my grandparents. I assisted with cooking dinner, giving appropriate medication, and taking them to/from their doctor’s appointments. I am afraid of mid size- large dogs but I don’t mind small dogs.
I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys being around children. I’m a Certified medical assistant and CPR certified. I have experience working in childcare, completed coursework in Early Childhood Education, and grew up helping care for my younger siblings. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for kids, and I’m also a big animal lover!
