Booked by 16 families in Glen Echo, MD

Hi! My name is Azucena, but you can call me Suzy. I have over 7 years of experience providing child care for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I began babysitting in 2016, starting with an agency before transitioning to caring for families on a part-time basis and helping out on date nights. My past responsibilities have included school and summer camp pick-ups, as well as homework help. I’m a big fan of arts and crafts and love playing board games! I’m currently available for occasional babysitting and date nights, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family. Looking forward to connecting!

Booked by 76 families in Glen Echo, MD

Hi! My name is Grethel. I have been working with kids since I was 19 and really love be with them. My first job was in a school and I already have 6 years of experience as a nanny. I like to play with them, go to the park or the pool. Also, indoor activities. I'm a good driver with clean record. In my free time, I like to take long walks, read, take courses and roller blading. I got the covid vaccine.

Grethel was great. She got to our house on time and the kids had a lot of fun with her.

Hello parents! My experience spans from babies to teenagers and I have been working with kids as a nanny and babysitter for 8 years. I have a degree in Business Analytics from the University of Maryland and I’m looking for occasional babysitting jobs. While babysitting, I enjoy playing, reading, going to parks and libraries, exploring kids’ imagination/creativity, and having fun! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

Booked by 4 families in Glen Echo, MD

Hi! My name is Claire, and I'm a recent college graduate from Columbia University. I love working with kids, and have been tutoring, babysitting, and volunteering as a camp counselor since I was 14 years old. I've worked with youth of all ages, from kindergarteners to high schoolers, for about ten years. I am currently an English tutor and volunteer mentor to refugee high school students with the International Rescue Committee. I consider myself a friendly person who loves reading bedtime stories and crafting. I'm more than happy to help with homework as well. While I'm not a native speaker, I was a Spanish tutor in high school and would be happy to help little ones with introductory level language practice. I'm also more than happy to help care for any furry friends or elderly loved ones you have at home. I look forward to meeting you! Update: Hi everyone, thank you to all the lovely families with whom I have had the joy of working during my time in DC! I will be moving to New York in June to begin a new job, so I unfortunately will only be able to take on one-time jobs over the next month for families in DC. Thank you!

Claire was great! Our daughter kept talking about her the next day.

Booked by 12 families in Glen Echo, MD

Hi! My name is Gayatri and I'm a babysitter with ~10 of experience with children ages 1 - 14. I have a bachelor's degree in Economics and Creative Writing from UNC Chapel Hill (class of 2014) and currently work in Georgetown in branding / communications for non-profits and foundations. In my free time I like to read, write fiction, and cook! I love babysitting because it's fun -- I love getting to know children over games, arts and crafts, homework, and playing with their friends. I have experience working with boys and girls and enjoy babysitting actual babies as well as older school-age children :) I'm looking forward to meeting your family!

Our nine-year-old son had a great time with Gayatri! We'd definitely hire her again.
