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!

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. As a military dad, I know that when I leave, I do not have to worry about anything. Plus, our three kids absolutely adore her! They always ask when they will see Francicsa again, and have invited her to all their (and all our family events) .We feel entirely comfortable leaving our little angels with her. We are very fortunate to have found her. Francisca has our highest recommendation. Please feel free to call us at any time should you need more information Catherine and Steve
