Hello, I am a 33 year old professional that lives in Old Town and is looking to make a little extra money to help with upcoming travel plans. I am a former middle school teacher with 7 years experience teaching my own classroom. I have taught in some of the country's most respected public school districts including Ridgewood, NJ and Fairfax County, VA. I am available to babysit on weekends only since I work full-time as an IT Staffing Account Executive in Tyson's Corner. I am looking to make some extra money to help pay for all the destination weddings that are on the books this year and next. :) I am an energetic, friendly, silly, patient and organized individual. I am comfortable with babies as well as older children. I started babysitting/mothers-helping when I was 12 years old for families in my neighborhood. My love of kids and babysitting Read more continued through high school and college and beyond. I also babysat while I was teaching during volleyball's off-season. The hardest babysitting job I ever had was when I was in college. I was watching 8 of my cousins that were all under the age of 10 for 2 weeks at the beach. I went to bed spent every night! My favorite memory of babysitting was just a few years ago when on his mother's 50th birthday one of the sons I was watching lost his tooth. Together we found the tooth pillow, wrote a note to the tooth-fairy, created a map for his parents to find the pillow and took pictures along the way. I loved seeing how excited the son was to surprise his mom with the lost tooth and how happy she was that we made it fun and she was able to share in it! I am looking forward to getting to know you and your family. Please let me know if you would like any additional information about my background or experience.
