Hello there! Born in NJ, but from NY, I am a fun, bubbly, outgoing person who enjoys helping children learn and grow. I am a fully licensed and certified Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), with a background in working with children ages birth to school-age through early intervention and within public school systems in DE, MD, and DC. I also have experience in babysitting middle school age kids and toddlers. I enjoy reading, going to concerts, volunteering, hanging with friends, and chatting with my family! I am allergic to cats and dogs. Looking forward to helping you and your child/children!

“Very great with my daughter. Kind friendly and on time. Will definitely book again.”

$20 per hour for 1 child

I am married since 32 years with 2 beautiful children and 2 sweet rescue dogs. My husband was in the Army for 30 years where I maintained myself as a piano teacher moving every 1 - 3 years. I truly love kids and dogs very much . I babysit multiple kids and special needs kids since 8 years on care.com with fun and compassion by mixing reading, music, outdoor activities, German games, German songs, crafts and any activities the child likes and the parents approve. Babies giggle about my funny expressions and sounds. I am willing to drive up to 30 miles for date nights. Thank you !

“Bernice is an absolute delight! My 3 and 7 year old boys loved her and felt comfortable right away (which is not always the case). She is on time, responds fast to my texts, and my kids always seem to enjoy their time with her. She goes out of her way to play with my boys and keep them entertained. It feels nice to be able to relax and not worry about them, knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help! I’ll be reaching back out again soon.”

I am a recent graduate of Elon University, with a degree in Statistics with a concentration in Actuarial Science with minors in Asian Studies, Finance and Accounting. I was a Camp Counselor at the JCCSF several summers ago, have volunteered at The First Tee of San Francisco, The First Tee of San Francisco, Horizon's (an organization that serves underserved students) and have been babysitting for eight years for kids for a wide age range. 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!

“We loved that Samantha was very personable and easy going. Our son took to her immediately. She arrived on time and was interested in his routine. She asked good questions and was enjoyable to be around. We will definitely hire her again. As new parents, knowing that she’s infant CPR certified gave us extra confidence so we could really enjoy a relaxing evening out. ”
