Booked by 22 families in Capitol Heights, MD

Hi! My name is Zoleiry, or Zol, and I have 15 years of experience caring for infants and children, including working at children’s museums and summer camps. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English and am currently learning ASL. With my extensive experience and CPR/First Aid certification, I’d love the opportunity to be your family’s next babysitter! I work full-time as a Hill staffer for an Illinois Member and have been living in DC since 2017. I currently live in the Union Market neighborhood and babysit and provide pet care on the side, both to help pay down my student loans and because it’s work I genuinely enjoy. In my free time, I love spending time with friends, knitting, and walking dogs. I’m passionate about education policy and child development research. Looking forward to connecting with you and your little ones!

“Zoleiry was wonderful! She was very responsive, punctual, and immediately connected with our often very shy daughter. We really appreciated her energy and enthusiasm and felt really comfortable having her watch both our older daughter and baby. We would definitely recommend her!”

Hi! My name is Megan I have several years of babysitting experience with children of all ages. I graduated from Tulane in 2015 and have lived in the DC area ever since.

Booked by 20 families in Capitol Heights, MD

Hello, my name is Michelle and I’ve taken care of kids since the end of my high school year. What I most like about babysitting is the environment the child makes by being creative and learning from each thing they do and it’s basically never a dull moment. My motive is to help out parents and give them a fresh start each day when coming back home from work. I also have experience with newborns. I am a recent college graduate and soon to transferring to University to get my bachelors degree.

Hello, I'm Perla. With 12 years of experience in child care, I’ve worked as an au pair in France, Switzerland, and Canada, caring for children from various families. I have experience caring for special needs children and am known for being professional, proactive, and adaptable to each family's unique needs. I speak Spanish, French, and English (currently learning Japanese and ASL). Since moving to DC in 2017 to work at the IMF as a childcare provider for senior French diplomatic personnel, I’ve had the pleasure of supporting local and international families in their children's growth and development. I’m Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED-BL certified, fully vaccinated and boosted. I love spending time with kids and enjoy nature, sports, food, art, and animals. Thank you for your trust and consideration. Perla A.
