I am a stay-at-home mom to two wonderful teens looking for some part time work. My boys have both been in school full time for 11 years, and during that time I have volunteered in their schools as well as taken on several different jobs through Sitter City. I have worked as a before and aftercare babysitter for pre-schoolers and elementary age students, but my most recent jobs have been with babies and toddlers (4 months-2 years). My own kids are in secondary school, so I am familiar with middle schoolers and teens as well. I graduated from Salisbury University in MD in 1999 with a BA in English Lit. I went on to work for a Naval Engineering firm as a Technical Writer/Software Tester until my first son was born. Being at home with my kids and working in the classrooms as a volunteer made me realize how much Read more I truly enjoy working with children. My children have both struggled with anxiety their whole lives. My older son has food allergies, and my younger son deals with Sensory Processing Disorder. Patience, kindness, understanding, and a sense of humor are qualities I count on. I grew up in Maryland and have lived in the DC area my whole life. I am very close with my family. I have benefitted from being so near to them: always having their support and available child care. I know that, especially in this area, not everyone has that advantage. I would really like to help out a fellow mom who needs some time to run errands or just have some time to herself. Obviously as an English Lit major, I very much enjoy reading. I believe that it is the foundation of learning. My kids are both avid and skilled readers. I also enjoy music and movies. One of my sons is very involved in choir, and we try to have Movie Night every weekend. I am a very responsible and caring adult. My children are the most important people in my life, so I know the importance of good and trustworthy child care.

Trust & safety
