About Colette

Experience: 10 yrs

Coming from a huge family (one of 12!) I'd say I've been working with kids from a very young age! But I began paid babysitting when I was about 15, so about a decade ago. I'm reliable, empathetic and attentive, and I will do my best to make your child feel seen and heard. I've babysat children of all ages, but my most frequent experiences have been with infants and children from 2-5 years old. However I have also cared for multiple children at once, spanning up to preteen years. I know how hard growing up can be, both on children and parents alike. If there's any way I can help a family have an easier day, then I will give 110% to make that happen. I'm looking for a job that gives the opportunity to do work that has a lasting impact. What does that more than helping kids? In my spare time, I like to draw, write fiction, and currently I've begun 3d modeling!

I worked together with Colette several times when she was still living in NoVa. Colette has a way about her that makes kids feel comfortable and curious. She answers their questions in an easy-to-understand way without making them feel silly for asking. She's a pro at deescalating those moments of high emotion that kids get now and then, whether they're toddlers, tikes, or tweens. I'd absolutely recommend her to any parent in need of a reliable sitter who brings professionalism and zen vibes.
