Hi families!!! My name is Vanessa and I am a 28 year old originally from Fort Lauderdale, FL. I have over 10 years of professional childcare experience with over 12 years of overall childcare experience. I have been a caregiver for my nieces and nephews with ages ranging from 9 months to 12 years old, non-consecutively, for 10 years. Tasks include meal prep/administration, bath time, nap time, pickup from school, homework and leisure activities: watching TV, playing with toys/games and outdoor activities. I have also worked with Jumpstart Americorps for one year with students in an elementary school between the ages of 4 and 6. There I facilitated afterschool activities such as reading, arts & crafts and dramatic play. I also spoke with parents about the behavior and learning patterns of their children. While living in D.C., I was also a verified sitter for Chime by Sittercity where I cared Read more for children six months to 12 years old. I have degrees in Biology and Epidemiology and I have always viewed each sitting as a unique experience to progress in the area of childcare through having each child's health and well-being in mind.

My first interaction with Vanessa was great. She was timely and provided updates while I was away like requested. My son enjoyed her too! I hope to use her services again in the near future.

Vanessa was our sitter for a bit over a year and she was great! She cleaned after the kids, played with them, and was always on time. The reason I can not give 5 stars is because I was very disappointed with her communication at the tail end of our arrangement. Without warning, she stopped taking my calls, texts, and voicmails. To this day we have not heard from her nor has she given us an explanation as to why she stopped communicating. That was very inconsiderate and unprofessional.

Vanessa is fantastic with the twins. What I love the most is how tidy she is with the house while they are in her care.

Vanessa was great! Very friendly and personable, got along with my 9 month old daughter wonderfully. They were best friends before my wife left home. By some miracle, Vanessa got her to sleep (not an easy feat). We plan to continue working with her!

I highly recommend Vanessa for babysitting. She took care of my 1-year-old daughter with very little notice and was reliable, responsive, and very pleasant when we met.

Vanessa was great - arrived on time, very friendly, polite, and competent. Would definitely recommend her to others and hire her again.

Vanessa filled a very last-minute position and did a great job watching my boys. She arrived early, was friendly and personable, played games and read to them, then put them to bed on time and tidied the house. All around great sitter.
