About Laquisha

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! I'm LaQuisha - Creative, Caring & Experienced Childcare Provider Hi! I'm a CPR-certified, fully vaccinated childcare professional with 15+ years of experience working with children and families. I currently work as a Lead Art Teacher in Bethesda and previously spent eight years with DC Public Schools as a paraprofessional, art teacher, and substitute teacher. I've worked with children of all ages, supporting them academically, socially, creatively, and emotionally. With a degree in Multimedia Graphic Design, I enjoy incorporating age-appropriate art, crafts, reading, homework help, and outdoor play into childcare. As a mom, I understand the trust families place in caregivers. I'm warm, patient, responsible, dependable, and respectful of each family's routines. Whether you need occasional babysitting, date-night care, after-school support, or an engaging activity buddy, I'd be happy to help keep your child safe, happy, and engaged!

Ms. Q is amazing! She babysat our 6-month old a few times a week for the last few weeks and was so caring, reliable, and attentive. Such a kind and calm presence and our daughter got used to her very quickly. Ms. Q did a lot of sit and stand practice with our daughter which we really appreciated and she was really flexible with staying a little later if we needed it. She also brought her 10-year old daughter who was so sweet and creative, and a delightful, polite visitor. By the end of our recurring babysitting with Ms. Q, we were happy to call her our friend!
