Carla K.
- 15 years paid experience
- 12 miles
My name is Carla Kooij and I currently babysit for date-nights or on the weekends. I've been babysitting since 2010. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Goucher College, and am certified in First Aid and CPR for infants, children and adults. I enjoy caring for children of all ages, and I have babysat for many families, military and non-military, and/or families who come to town for a wedding or event, and I've stayed at the hotel with their children while they are at the event. I prepare meals for children, do light housekeeping, help with homework, read children stories, supervise bedtime routines, help with bathroom activities (toilet, brushing teeth, bathing). I love playing games with children too, inside or out. I have babysat up to four children at a time from 2 months to 17 years old although now I prefer one to two children to watch. I’m a U.S. citizen and live in Alexandria, VA. I'm trustworthy, dependable, friendly and kind.

Carla was so sweet and nice! She was on time and even brought her puppet collection for our son to play with; which he just loved. She sent us pictures of him while we were out and was just a delight to have as our sitter. We would definitely recommend Carla for any of your sitter needs!

I would 100% recommend Dayana as a babysitter. Over the past several months, she has been an exceptional caregiver for my 6-year-old son. She has consistently been reliable, always arriving on time and ready to engage with him. One of the things that stood out most about Dayana was her ability to build a genuine connection with my son. She took the time to learn about his interests, watch movies with him, and have conversations about his favorite topics, which made him feel valued, understood, and excited to spend time with her. My son has ADHD, and Dayana was incredibly patient, understanding, and attentive to his needs. She created a supportive environment where he felt comfortable, safe, and happy. As a parent, it gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in her care. Dayana was also excellent at communicating with me. She kept me informed, was responsive when I had questions, and made sure I always felt confident about my son’s well-being while he was in her care. She would let me know when she was on her way and when she dropped him off at school. She would send me pictures, which I greatly appreciated as well. My son always looked forward to spending time with Dayana and would get excited whenever he knew he was going to see her. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and enjoyed working with children. I wholeheartedly recommend Dayana to any family looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive babysitter. She has a natural ability to connect with children, and I am grateful for the positive impact she had on my son. Any family would be fortunate to have her caring for their children.

Ms. Rhonda has been an incredible support to our family. Her help with overnight care allowed me to get the rest I needed so I could show up as the best mom possible for my child. She is caring, attentive, and truly thoughtful in the way she provides care. Knowing my baby was in such capable and compassionate hands gave me complete peace of mind. I am deeply grateful for her and highly recommend her.
