Hello parents! My name is Caitlin. I have over 15 years of experience in childcare, primarily with children in the 1-9 age range, including twins. I live in the Rockville area and work downtown during the week. Contact me for occasional evening and weekend childcare! When I babysit, I really enjoy getting to know you as parents and a family. I still remember the fun babysitters my three younger siblings and I had, and I hope to replicate that experience for your kids. I'm very interactive and love to take the kids out to play, either in the backyard or on an excursion to a park. Inside is always fun as well, whether it be hide and seek, play-dough art, or building a fort. More About Me: I graduated from American University with my Masters in 2014. Before coming to the area, I lived in my homestate of New Jersey Read more where I earned a Bachelors in Spanish with a concentration in Secondary Education. I started babysitting in high school and have continued to do so through college and beyond. I have extensive teaching experience from my studies in education; as a bilingual facilitator for a statewide child assault prevention program; and as an English as a Second Language (ESL) instructor. During undergrad I also served as a counselor in a traditional summer camp for youth with special needs. Since graduating I've worked full-time for a national nonprofit and volunteered on two boards. Why else should you consider me as your sitter? I am: - organized and considerate - patient and love to help with homework or projects - creative and enjoy arts & crafts - comfortable around animals - a safe driver and non-smoker - outgoing, fun, and an unforgettable babysitter!

Caitlin has watched our five year old son on weekends for about a year. She has done a fantastic job with him, reading books together, making up games, and playing with cars, dinosaurs, sidewalk chalk, stickers, and playdoh (and sometimes even bringing new toys). She arrives on time, is very responsible, and does a great job getting a picky eater to have dinner. We wholeheartedly recommend her!

We love Caitlin! She has been babysitting for us for over 2 years now and has been wonderful with our kids! She is very responsible, reliable and caring. My kids always have a great time with her when she is here (ages 3 and 1) :)
