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.

Hello parents! I enjoy working with kids of all ages, and love watching them learn. I've been sitting for many families (50+) in the area for the last few years, and I also have a Masters of Education (Elem. Ed.) from George Mason. Over the past 14 years I’ve worked with children in a variety of roles, including: -- Occasional babysitting (2010-2024) - Ages 2-10 -- FCPS - Internship (3rd/5th grade) and sub teaching (2010-2013) -- Private tutoring Since I am a male sitter, I’d be a great fit for those with boys that like to build legos, conduct science experiments, and play outdoor games and sports! I also enjoy and have lots of experience babysitting younger children and toddlers, as young as 30 months. Note: I prefer to babysit for children between the ages of 2.5-10. Since I currently work full time, my schedule is limited to just occasional afternoons, evenings and weekends. I consider myself professional, caring, reliable, and fun! I have a variety of good references and all the sitter basics: [background check, transportation, non-smoking, references, etc.] Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel cared for in a safe and positive environment. I’ve always valued building meaningful connections, and working with kids allows me to bring patience, creativity, and empathy into each day. I love creating calm, structured environments where kids can feel safe and have fun! I have professional experience supporting individuals with different needs through my work as a Direct Support Professional, which required a lot of patience, communication, and responsibility — skills that translate very well into childcare. Outside of that, I’ve helped care for younger relatives and family friends’ children, handling routines like meals, playtime, and bedtime. I’m comfortable creating engaging, age-appropriate activities and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. I’m trained in providing direct care and support, including de-escalation, active listening, maintaining safety, and medication administration . I’m also very organized and attentive, which helps with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. My experience as a DSP helped me build strong communication skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure. I also have my CPR and First Aid certification.
