Greetings Parent(s). I am a mom of three older children and I absolutely love children of all ages !! I have been a babysitter, nanny, tutor and a Pre-school teacher. I am certified to teach children Newborn - Kindergarten as well as CPR&First Aid certified(infants-adults). I’ve been babysitting for 20+ years and I truly miss the children & families. I’m open to cooking for the children, taking them to&from activities, caring for them overnight as well as coming as a travel nanny (once we’re all comfortable) and walks outside/outdoor play, etc.- I’m flexible on activities you may select. I am more than willing to get an additional background check or more training if it’s required. I am familiar with and able to do a nanny share as well.

Hello dear Parents: I am seeking full time or part-time position. Also, I am available on weekends or as needed. For the last 7 years I have been caring little ones from infants to pre-kindergarteners and elementary kids. I also enjoyed thoroughly working with first time parents caring for little bundles of joy. My last experiences are 15 weeks and 4 and 2-months old babies and now are years old or in preschool. My duties as a nanny are to feed (I can prepare food from scratch) their bottles of formula or breastmilk, change diapers, put them for naps, sleep training. I also play with the baby's toys to encourage them to grasp their toys and mentioning to them the colors, names, and sounds to promote cognitive development. I also put babies in tummy time so that their neck muscles get stronger day by day for later to roll over, sit up, and crawl. I have prepared healthy meals, and I am very organized and like to be active with the kids. I also help them to get ready for bed and wait until parents arrive from work. I currently have Child Development Certification, SIDS, CPR and AED certified as well. Thanks for reading my profile. Ysabel

I love being a sitter because caring for children brings me a sense of purpose and joy—I enjoy watching their personalities grow and creating a safe, fun environment where they feel supported.

Hi There!! My name is Madalyn ☆ I am a 25 year old student with a love for learning with and about children! For the last three years I have been gaining experience as a Lead Preschool Teacher in San Francisco, California, where I had my own classroom of nine children ages ranging 2-4 years old. Now, I am back in the D.C. area looking for a new opportunity! A majority of my experience lies within children under 10 years old, though, I am interested in gaining experience with all ages. I am currently working on my Early Childhood Education degree, and look forward to gaining my Masters in the future. I love to explore, exercise, create art, and to make music. All of these things are much more fun with a little buddy! I can offer all types of house work included in nanny services, as well as tutoring/homework help for third grade students and under.
