“I got stuck in DC because of flight cancellations and ending up with my 3 year old daughter and prep meeting with clients for an important next day meeting. Mary Beth arrived at the hotel promptly (in advance) and with only a request that afternoon. My daughter loved her. Indeed, she was able to do things with Patina that are hard for me -- get her to draw, tell stories, get her PJs on, and get into bed on time. Terrific.”
I am a Senior at Shenandoah University, where I play lacrosse and study Psychology, hoping to become a NICU/ pediatric nurse or a speech-language pathologist. I love kids and enjoy being active and being outside as well as cooking and baking. I have been both a nanny and an occasional babysitter for about 5 years. I also have dog sat as well as cat sat. I am also experienced in senior care, as I cared for my grandmother and did 40 hours of clinicals in a senior living center.
Experienced caregiver to children and pets! Looking for occasional jobs as needed. Would love to talk to you about my experience and how I fit your care giving needs! Please reach out with any questions.
I got my most experience from raising my three kids, and I always loved being surrounded with children even before having my own. so after graduating from college I worked as a pre-school teacher for 2 years in my country where I enjoyed creating fun activities for children, teaching and playing with them. In the last few years working as a part-time babysitter for children ranging from infants a few months old to 13-year-olds gives me a broad view of child development and a strong foundation for managing different age groups. As a mom, spending time with my kids was and still so precious to me, and I assure you that I will treat your kids and take care of them like they were my own. I am available early morning and afternoon , and the whole day on Thursday and Sunday, and I will be more than glad to help in taking care of your kids during these times. I have First Aid/CPR/AED certification, & up to date on flu vaccine. *References available upon request.
“We had a wonderful experience with Fatima. She arrived on time and was very friendly. My son has a hard time when we leave and she handled it really well. I will definitely be using her again in the future. ”
Hi! I’m Madison, a graduate student at George Washington University and employee at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. I have been doing childcare since middle school, including babysitting for families with over 6 kids, infants, church programs, and more! I would love to help out in any way possible, and I’m super flexible in activities and can transport kids, clean, or just entertain and watch kids! I also have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, chickens, and fish!
