I'm a DC native and JMU graduate, and have 15+ years experience babysitting for children of all ages and needs. I grew up caring for kids as I come from a big family - many of whom are also teachers! I'm patient, organized, and attentive, and genuinely love working with kids and infants. I'm very active and was raised with a love for the arts. Whether it be playing a game of soccer, arts and crafts, reading a book, or trying out a fun new recipe, I'm always happy to participate. I'm fluent in Spanish after being introduced to the language in a local elementary immersion program, and love helping kids learn, too. I look forward to connecting with you!

Colleen helped me out for a couple days from 3-7pm with my 8 week old baby while my husband was out of town on a work trip. As a first-time mom those late afternoons/evenings can mean everything to set the tone for the long night ahead. It was great having her there to lend a hand and care for my baby so that I could prep and make dinner, go for a bike ride, shower, and take a nap. I enjoyed her company as well.
