A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a senior at Walt Whitman High School living in the Churchill High School area. I have several years of experience working with children in both camp and preschool settings. I currently work at Clara Barton Children’s Center in Bethesda, where I assist with early childhood education, supervise play, and help with daily care routines.

I’m responsible, patient, and passionate about creating fun and supportive environments for kids. I’m available for babysitting on weekends, during fall and winter breaks, and may have additional availability depending on my school and work schedule.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Lia, a biology major on the pre-medical track at the University of Pittsburgh. I have always enjoyed working with children, starting as a tennis coach and later as a lifeguard, where I helped kids learn how to swim and feel more confident in the water. These experiences confirmed my desire to pursue a career in pediatrics. I'm here to help for occasional baby sitting jobs. I am also CPR and First Aid certified!
