Marie 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Hamilton, VA

Hi, My name is Marie and I am currently babysitting. I am offering child care. I have 3 children, with one in the spectrum. I worked in a child center with new born, infants, toddlers and toddlers. I also have experience working with special needs children age 4 to 15. I am a native French speaker and I love to teach and tutor children to learn and speak French while having fun.

“Marie was absolutely wonderful with our three-year-old. She is professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with. What really stood out to us is her experience with autism, she handled everything with patience, confidence, and care. From the moment she arrived, she connected quickly with our child and needed very little direction, which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell she genuinely cares and takes her role seriously. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family, and we’ll definitely be hiring her again!” ”
