Hello! My name is Abby, I’m 27 years old and I have lived in DC for the last 5 years! I moved here from Wisconsin in 2020 to earn my Master’s in Political Science at American University which I got in 2022, and currently work at the Administration for Children and Families at HHS. I’ve been at HHS for the last 3 years, and previously worked on the Hill and in campaigns. I have experience watching children from infancy to pre-teens, and love working with all age groups! Additionally, I have a bachelor’s in psychology with a focus in child/adolescent and social psychology, and worked full time in a daycare while in college with toddlers-school aged children. I am a pet lover, and have a dog of my own! I have access to a car, and a clean driving record. I love to cook, read, play games and craft, and will do all the above with your children so they have fun and are stimulated! I always follow parental guidance on screens and technology, and am more than happy to keep your kids off them and keep them entertained through play and creativity! As I do work a full time job, I am mostly available on weekends and the occasional weeknight evening after 6:30pm.

Katherine Denver
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, there! My name is Katherine and, as the oldest of five girls, I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. My first experience with babysitting was for my mom—I would watch my little sisters while she ran errands. As I got older, I started babysitting for some of the families in my neighborhood and continued until I went away to college. In college, I nannied for a couple of different families. One of these families had seven children, ranging in age from 3 to 18. While I mostly spent time with the two little ones, I also chauffeured four of the older children around to their sports practices and various extracurricular activities. In addition to nannying, I also taught an after-school cooking and nutrition program to elementary school age children as part of an internship in college. After college, I moved to Spain to teach English and also tutored for several families on the side. Now, some of my friends and family members are starting to have children of their own and I am always happy to watch them if they have things to do or they just need a break. In addition to babysitting, I also have some pet sitting experience. While attending law school, I somehow found time to pet sit for my neighbors. I eventually decided to make a Rover profile and I have continued to book pet sitting jobs through the app. Additionally, I also adopted a cat. A little about me—I just moved to Denver from Washington, D.C. last July and I am absolutely loving everything about living here. During the week, I work as an attorney in downtown Denver, but I try to spend every weekend in the mountains. I got engaged this past July and I am planning a Summer 2026 wedding here in Colorado. I am hoping to supplement my income and pay for most of my wedding expenses on my own. I look forward to helping you with all of your caregiving needs!

Daria Washington
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi – my name is Daria and I’m a graduate student at American University’s School of International Service. I graduated from LSU last year and am originally from Ukraine. I’m offering child care, tutoring, and household help. As the oldest of six siblings, I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for children, from newborns to teens. I also worked as a tutor in Ukraine, teaching English, biology, and chemistry to kids (ages 5–18) and adults. I love creating fun, educational environments and supporting each child’s unique needs. While studying at LSU, I worked with two wonderful families, helping with childcare, homework, errands, and more, and I’d be happy to provide references. I’m also a great cook and enjoy preparing healthy meals for kids and families. Whether it’s homework help, school pickups, or tidying up the house, I’m always ready to lend a hand. I’m an animal lover, too! I used to have a big dog back home and hope to adopt both cats and dogs in the future. I’d be thrilled to work with families who have pets!
