Find experienced babysitters in Franconia, VA

Bonjour! I’m a proud St. Lucian with a big heart and a passion for babysitting that blossomed when I was just 11 years old. Growing up, I helped raise my three younger siblings, who were born more than a decade after me. Those early experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to guide little ones through every stage. From first steps to singing/sporty personalities. Watching them grow into their own identities lit a fire in me to support other children in the same way. Over the years, I’ve continued to babysit younger cousins and family friends, giving me hands-on experience with kids of various ages whenever I have time with my technical wiritng positon. I naturally gravitate toward creating a nurturing, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered. I'm especially proud of teaching manners in fun, memorable ways, and I bring calm energy and warm encouragement to every interaction. Whether we’re playing games, learning something new, or just having silly moments, I’m there with love, laughter, and genuine care.

Hi there, my name is Paige and I am a recently-departed fed about to graduate from my evening law program. During this time of transition & bar prep, I am looking for casual gigs on weekends and evenings. I am also open to and have experience with overnight care. I have worked as an English tutor in Lithuania, South Africa, and the U.S., a YMCA camp counselor, and a Merit Badge Counselor for the Boy Scouts of America. I grew up volunteering in my hometown of PGH, PA, and honor that practice whenever possible at my favorite DC organizations: We are Family and N Street Village. As a creative and daughter of an elementary school teacher, I prioritize outdoor activities, virtual-free games and mindfulness when interacting with children. I live a very active lifestyle as a yoga teacher, avid cyclist and strength trainer. I love to read, write, and care for my suspiciously large houseplants. I am respectful of all religions, races, and orientations, though my views on cats as the superior housepet are extremely biased. I look forward to working with you and your family.
