Francia B., Babysitter in Washington, DC 20002 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi there! I’m Fran — I’m 30 years old, originally from Mexico, and I’ve called the Maryland/DC area home for nearly a decade. I’m known for being a safe driver, calm under pressure, and great at communicating with both kids and parents. I’ve been caring for children for over 10 years, both as a babysitter and as a live-in au pair. I have extensive experience with toddlers and spent five wonderful years caring for a six-year-old girl and a nine-year-old boy on the autism spectrum. I genuinely love working with young children and always treat each child as the unique little human they are — with patience, warmth, and encouragement to grow. One of my favorite things is bumping into kids I used to care for and seeing how much they’ve grown — and hearing that they still remember our fun times together! I’m currently available on weekday afternoons and weekends (Saturday and Sunday), and I’d be happy to provide references upon request. I’d love to connect and get to know your family!

Jules M., Babysitter in Washington, DC 20002 with 4 years of paid experience

I'm your neighborhood's awesome attentive nanny! I have a long list of families I've worked with, both short term and long term. I have experience from premature twin infants all the way to your average pre teen! I've worked shifts upwards of 48 hours haha! I'm great on call and very trustworthy. One thing I pride myself on being is the outdoorsy nanny. I like to go outside whether we are taking a walk or heading to the zoo! Activities are a great way for me to spend time with the kiddos as we are both having fun and getting some fresh air! I drive an SUV with a clean driving record. I began as an afterschool nanny, transitioned to full time during the summer while in school and then moved to being an overnight nanny. I respond quickly to messages, just shoot me one! My resume is always available to view.
