About Penelope

Hi! I'm an 18-year-old Bethesda resident taking a gap year before starting college next fall. I recently graduated high school after completing multiple IB courses. I have years of hands-on childcare experience caring for my four younger siblings and cousins of various ages, along with my first paid babysitting job. Growing up in a big family has made me patient, responsible, and confident managing high-energy kids in a calm, structured way. I'm fluent in English and Spanish and have some knowledge of French and German. I'm happy to help with homework, reading, meal prep, bedtime routines, and creative activities. I have my driver's license, and am available Monday-Thursday and late weekends. I'm open to long-term or flexible arrangements and would love to connect!
