Hello! I'm a kind, fun-loving, positive person. I love creating a safe and engaging environment for the kids I babysit. I find it important to stay active, whether that means running around outside, using our imaginations to create fun, new worlds, or participating in a brand new activity or learning experience. I approach tricky situations in a measured, compassionate way and remain calm but firm when disciplining. Starting from a young age, I spent years as a preschool camp counselor, babysitter, tutor, and English teaching assistant in France. I was also a nanny for a highly active 3-year-old and his 1-year-old sister. It required multitasking, quick reactions, creativity to redirect behavior, positive energy, and solid communication with the parents. Most recently, I cared for a 3- and 5-year-old and also worked as a Room Lead for a large babysitting event with an agency called Super Sitters. Driving, cleaning, laundry, organizing, Read more and cooking, as well as managing food sensitivities, are other tasks I'd be happy to help with. I recently graduated with an MS in nutrition and am working my way towards becoming a registered dietitian. I will be in Northern Virginia until the end of December 2026. I'm available for occasional sitting and date nights. I look forward to connecting with you and your family! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
