Hello! My name is Francisca, I am an art teacher and I love to work with children, especially to help them develop their creativity and organizational skills. I am 45 years old, but I started babysitting since I was in high school; that's one of the reasons I decided to be a teacher. Once I graduated with a Bachelors in Arts Education I began teaching private art classes for children's while babysitting them in my off time. I came from Chile to live in Washington D.C. on January 2012 looking for new opportunities in my field. I started off as an intern at the Art museum of the American States. When I finished my internship I started babysitting full time until I applied for a full time job at an Embassy where I worked until January 2023. Since 2012 I've had many babysitting jobs, raging from ages of 5 months to 15 years old, also a 24 year old Read more with special needs. My style of babysitting is very hands on and interactive. I prefer not to have children watch TV the entire time I care for them. I try to play with them, read, exercise and if they enjoy Art I will work with them to explore their artistic side. I also offer Face painting and art activities for events. Most importantly, I can guarantee your kids will be in good hands and will have fun!

Francisca did a great job taking care of Lucia when she was 4 months old. She was always on time, kept everything clean and organized, and quickly learned Lucia’s routine. I highly recommend her.

Fran has babysat my 14 month old daughter a few times and she has been wonderful. Showed up on time, was careful with all the instructions I left, and was communicative and responsive about updates. My baby had cried a lot with previous babysitters but she just liked Fran from the start. Highly recommend.

It's never easy to leave my 3yo with anyone, but Francisca surely knows how to put both baby and mommy at ease. My daughter immediately took to her and loves the beautiful art projects they do together. To round it off, she is extremely reliable, punctual and responsive. A wonderful sitter!

Francisca is a great sitter! She is great at communicating, she is prompt, courteous, responsible and extremely professional. She is great with kids. Working with Francisca is always a wonderful experience. She is dependable, friendly, flexible and very trustworthy.
