"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Megan $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Megan and I’m currently on summer break as a special education teacher in FCPS. I have a degree in Child Development & Family Studies with a minor in Special Education. I have been working with children since 2019 and can’t imagine doing anything else! I have experience with children of all ages and all abilities. I love planning activities and differentiating them for different skill levels so that no one is left out. Oh, I love all animals from fluffy to scaly too, so pets are not a problem!

I have been caring for children including my own even before Care & Sitter came around. I cared and sat for many children starting from 3 months to 10 year olds. I take my services very seriously and I care for children with professionalism. If you are looking for someone who has a lot of patience and dedication looking after your loved ones please know that they will be in the right hands
“I hired Yulissa to take care of my 23 month old daughter and they got along great! Yulissa was the first babysitter my daughter ever stayed with, so I was a bit nervous. However, my daughter took to her right away. Yulissa was punctual, responsible, patient, and caring. It seemed like my daughter had a lot of fun with Yulissa. She was comfortable with being around our dog as well, which was great. I would definitely hire her again for future babysitting needs and highly recommend her to others as well! ”

Hi! My name is Paula, and I have nearly 8 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns and infants to school-aged children and teenagers. I especially love working with babies and young children. I have experience with early stimulation and age-appropriate activities that support motor, cognitive, and language development. I enjoy teaching through play, including letters, numbers, colors, books, sensory activities, English and Spanish. I also have experience with potty training. I currently work full-time with a wonderful family Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I have cared for their daughter since she was 5 months old, and she is now 2 years and 5 months old. I also occasionally care for another little girl whom I have known since she was 6 months old and is now 4. I will soon begin a bachelor’s degree related to Early Childhood Development, a field that connects directly with what I love doing. I’m looking for additional babysitting opportunities outside my regular work hours, especially evenings and weekends. I’m open to occasional or consistent care if it’s a good fit for both of us. I’m responsible, patient, caring, reliable, and also a big animal lover, especially dogs. Please feel free to message me!
“Paula is amazing with my 18 month year old. She started working with us when she was 6 months and has been invaluable since. She has helped my daughter crawling and then walking. She is great handling my daughter and German Shepard. She is soo gentle and has soo much patience. keeps her active at all times and constantly challenging her to thrive. She takes her to the library all the time and likes to read. She give me peace of mind and I know when I have to go to work she will be in safe hands.”

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.
