A little bit about me
Hi families! I’m Paris, a nurturing and creative sitter from DC who’s always had a love for working with kids. I grew up being the go-to babysitter for my younger cousins, and ever since then, I knew childcare was my passion. I’ve helped care for children of all ages and love bringing fun, structure, and affection into every child’s day. I’m CPR certified and currently finishing my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential to deepen my skills. Whether we’re playing outside, learning something new, or just talking through feelings, I always show up with patience, energy, and love.
