Hey there! My name is Oriana. I'm an experienced, nurturing, and dependable babysitter with a passion for providing a comforting and welcoming environment for children. I come from a diverse background and am fluent in English and Spanish. Family means everything to me, that's why I'm so passionate about babysitting because it allows me the opportunity to make a positive impact in children’s lives and contribute to their well-being. It also contributes to my own personal growth as learning from and caring for others can surprisingly help us understand and care for ourselves better.I hold a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in English. This has helped me recognize the importance of child development stages, including emotional and social learning. I strive to create a compassionate and supportive atmosphere, allowing children the space to feel comfortable sharing their emotions and needs. I aim to foster their growth as individuals, helping them navigate the ups and downs of everyday life with resilience and confidence. With a creative and imaginative mindset, I love engaging kids in educational and entertaining activities such as arts and crafts, reading, storytelling, movement and dance, imaginative play, and helping make homework time an enjoyable and stimulating experience. I am patient, adaptable, and adept at handling various situations that may arise when caring for children. Safety is always my top priority which is why I will be renewing my Adult and Pediatric First AID/CPR certification this month. I emphasize building strong relationships with both children and parents as I believe open and clear communication are key in building trust.I recognize and celebrate the individuality of every child. I take the time to understand the child’s personality, interests, and preferences in order to provide personalized care and support. I have experience working with children of various ages and temperaments, which has taught me the importance of tailoring my approach to suit each child’s needs. I also pay close attention to parents’ instructions and guidelines; making sure to understand their expectations regarding things like meal prep, bedtime routines, screen time and any specific rules they’ve set. I am here to provide reliable and trustworthy care for your little ones, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Let's create a positive and enjoyable experience for your family! My schedule is flexible so please feel free to reach out.

I am a rising junior at American University in Washington DC, originally from Buffalo NY, studying political science and journalism. This summer I am looking for meaningful work with kids where I can genuinely show up, contribute, and make the season memorable for everyone involved.I am open to a live-in position, which I think works beautifully for the right family. It creates consistency for the kids, flexibility for the parents, and lets me pour real energy into the role rather than splitting focus. I have full availability and am ready to hit the ground running.As a person I am easy going, organized, and hard working, but also just genuinely fun to be around. I love music, singing, dancing, art, theatre, and getting outside. I will absolutely challenge your kids to a dance competition, take them to a game, do an art project, put on a little show, or just spend a slow afternoon exploring. I meet kids where they are and I find joy in all of it.Families matter a lot to me. I do not show up just to fill hours. I show up because I care about the people I work with and I want to be someone the kids actually look forward to seeing. If you are looking for someone warm, creative, dependable, and excited to be part of your summer, that is exactly what I am here for.One thing to note: I do not have a car, so proximity to public transportation or a walkable area is helpful when considering fit.

Hi! My name is Stavroula, and I’ve been caring for children for years.

I also frequently babysat their friends, giving me experience with children of different ages and personalities.I recently graduated from college and will be starting my master’s program this fall. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, or keeping children engaged in fun, safe activities, I strive to create a positive and caring environment. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are in good hands, and I always aim to provide reliable, attentive care that families can trust.
