Hi! I have 17 years of baby-sitting experience starting with new borns and up. I was a full-time nanny through college and had a couple of families that I regularly sat for in the DC and Annapolis areas until I moved to the Silver Spring area. I have my own transportation, I am not a smoker, and I can happily provide references. I was laid off in September, got married, and now am casually looking to return to the workforce for a full-time position and baby-sitting is just for fun. I have always loved kids and enjoy their energy (before giving them back!). I am a fun, outgoing baby-sitter that likes to be goofy, play games inside or outside, read, conduct arts & crafts, or play sports. I enjoy playing music, encouraging dance parties, and making up other fun games. I'm patient and encourage the kiddo to try and figure out the Read more challenge or opportunity. I always ask parents about their house rules and how they want me to discipline - and any allergies I should know of, of course! PS. Background check pending and hope to have the badge up in the next few days. I also am married to a firefighter and safety is a big thing in our house!
