Hi mom/dad! A little about me: I've been a caretaker for my younger brother for his whole life pretty much haha along with extended family members' children. I have experience taking care of children aged 0-13 for over. As for pets, I owned a few German shepherds growing up and loved and cared for them deeply, also fostered a bichon frise for a few months in 2022 and it was some of the best few months of my life! Adore animals with all my heart, especially dogs! Did not grow up with cats, but I do not shy away from giving them cuddles when given the chance. Love bunnies too! I'm also a rising junior in college working on personal projects and classes along with some free time on my hands, so availability for babysitting is fairly flexible during the week. A few hobbies of mine: going on road trips either with friends, trying out new places to eat, and thrifting. I'm always available for a video call so we can get to know each other and see whether we are a good fit for each other!
Hi! My name is Reyna. I am a paralegal by profession and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. My experience with childcare began through helping care for my younger siblings and children of friends and family over several years, starting with babies as small as three months. This experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. In addition, I am very active and enjoy hands on activities and being outdoors. I do work full time during the day so my availability is mostly evenings and weekends.
“Reyna was awesome with our two boys ages 4 and 2! They got to practice their Spanish and read books together. Our kids really liked her and we look forward to working with her again.”
Bringing eight years of experience working with children aged newborn to 11, I'm eager to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for your little ones. My background includes a college degree, coursework in Early Child Development, and experience as a Certified Teacher. I'm also certified in CPR and First Aid. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules. I will communicate with you daily, providing updates via text or phone and in person at pickup. Motivated by my positive experiences babysitting and a desire to support families, I'm happy to help with cooking and meal preparation. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my passion for childcare to your family and create a fun and safe space for your children to grow and learn.
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. I've been a babysitter for a few years now and I absolutely love it. I'm patient, creative, and always make sure kids are safe and having fun. I can't wait to meet your family and help out.
Hi! My name is Saira. I have been a babysitter since I was 15 years old, so taking care of children has always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for children from 3 months to 10 years old. I love creating fun and creative activities where children can learn, explore, and be themselves. I enjoy supporting them as they discover new things, encouraging their creativity and curiosity, while also helping them with their daily routines. Most importantly, I want every child to feel heard, valued, and confident as they grow. I am a patient, responsible, caring, and honest person. I am very organized and value clear and open communication. I also deeply respect each family’s parenting style and routines, and I am always happy to work together with parents to make sure their children feel safe, loved, and supported.
“Saira was on time and our 6-month-old and 3-year-old seemed immediately comfortable when she arrived and she jumped right into playing with them. She got our baby to sleep for the night and got our toddler ready for bed and read books with him before bed. At the end of the night our toddler went over to give her a big hug and told us he wanted to play with her again! ”
