Hi there! I'm a fun, energetic, and kind 33 year old professional woman with a degree in psychology. I've been babysitting (ages 6 months through 13) since I was 9 years old and have 3 years of experience as a full-time nanny. I'm looking for occasional evening and/or weekend babysitting opportunities. I always do my best to align my childcare efforts with the parents' wishes but my natural instincts lean more nurturing and child-driven than strict disciplinarian. Essentially I'm much more likely to enforce being kind to your little brother than making sure you finish that extra 5 minutes of violin practice. I would love to assist your children with homework, bake cookies, hang out in the park, drive to practices, assist with housework and do whatever else is needed to help organize your family.

Charissa has been sitting with our two children for almost two years, and she is without a doubt the most competent, caring, and engaged sitter we have ever had. She displays great maturity and patience, and she keeps our preschoolers entertained and happy -- even when they have been sick. She is reliable and has been a tremendous help with other tasks that we never expected or asked her to do -- cleaning the kitchen, putting toys back in bins, etc. We can't say enough good things about Charissa. Our children adore her. She deserves 10 stars. -- Heather K., Vienna VA
