Hi! I’ve worked with over 40 families, including several long-term (over a year with some). I provide reliable, nurturing childcare and can assist with meal prep and light housekeeping when combined with child care (for an additional fee). I’m CPR/First Aid certified and happy to help with homework support. I’m currently looking for a long-term, part-time position with a great family. Previously, I lived in Colombia for 2 years, where I taught kindergarten through 2nd grade, and also led extracurricular classes for middle school students. Was teaching English for kids in some villages in Bali. I also worked as a personal assistant, so I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and family dynamics. I speak English, Indonesian, and Spanish, and I love animals so dogs and cats are always welcome. In my free time, I’m very active and love trying new sports , currently doing horseback riding and crossfit and I’ve also enjoyed archery, bouldering, and other adventurous activities.
Hello! My name is Kristi and happily looking forward to meeting you and your dear family as a member of Urbansitter. I truly enjoy caring for children of all ages with love, kindness, patience and safety being my #1 priority for every child in my care. I presently work a summer Mon-Friday 12-5pm job and welcome occasional evening and weekend care jobs, too. I live in South Arlington next to Penrose Square, drive to my jobs and I am a non-smoker. My hourly rate is $16.00. I thank you very much for your consideration. Kristi O.
Hello families. My name is Anne and I'm an experienced bilingual babysitter who enjoys working with children of any age. Kids bring so much joy to the world and it creates happiness to see them grow and to nurture their creativity. I always try to adjust to children's unique needs. As a former physical therapist I'm comfortable caring for children with special needs. Favorite babysitting activities include arts and crafts, reading, being outdoors, meal prep and clean up, bath time and bed time routines. I like to cook and do not mind doing household chores. I do have a drivers license. If you think I'm a good match I would be happy to hear from you.
“Anne was great and we would highly recommend her. She cared after our 10 months old during our evening date, she was extremely punctual, professional and calm. She was also very flexible. We trusted her fully. Thank you! Edit to add after 10+ bookings with her - Anne Kathrin is definitely the most reliable and caring babysitter in the area. She’s cared after our son many evenings from age 10 months to 19 months and she’s the best from infancy to toddlerhood! ”
Hello parents and guardians. I'm seeking a full/part time position to care for your love ones. I've studied nursing in university, have over 15 beautiful years experience as a nanny, in addition to being a part time summer camp leader. I'm CPR, First Aid and AED Certified. I’m also a certified cook, with several certifications. I can provide references upon request. I look forward to your response. Thanks.
