Heaven $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Heaven! I’ve been living in the DC area for the past four years, but I’m originally from the West Coast! I have several years of experience caring for children, including regularly watching my four nieces and nephew. I also worked as a tutor while abroad during undergrad, supporting students from elementary through high school. I’m happy to help with homework, school projects, and tutoring, particularly in English, history, social studies, and languages. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and International Affairs and a Master’s degree in International Affairs, so I especially enjoy helping kids build confidence in reading, writing, and social studies. I’m also an animal lover! I have a dog of my own and regularly cat sit for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company. I’m responsible, patient, and caring, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help however I can! :)

Hello families! My name is Melissa, and I am a dedicated and energetic caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages through babysitting, after-school programs, summer camps, coaching, and teaching. I currently work as a Physical Education teacher and have extensive experience creating safe, engaging, and positive environments for children. I am patient, dependable, organized, and great at building strong connections with both kids and parents.

I love keeping children active, helping with homework, planning fun activities, and supporting their emotional well-being. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with pet care and household assistance, including meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, and maintaining routines. I am comfortable caring for pets and understand the importance of providing loving and attentive care to every member of the family.

Ameerah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ameerah, and I’m a sophomore Philosophy major at Howard University with aspirations of attending law school. I currently work at the Meaningful Futures Organization in Bethesda, Maryland as a camp counselor, working with children with disabilities on Saturdays. I’m looking for more part-time work during the week! I’m 20 years old and have a variety of hobbies, including reading, journaling, painting, and crafting. I’ve had a passion for working with children for years. In high school, I volunteered and worked with kids in several roles: camp counselor, camp volunteer, and camp mentor. My duties included supervising children ages 5-15 during lunch, recess, downtime, and field trips. I also led activities like kickball, arts and crafts lessons, and made sure the younger children took their naps. Additionally, I’ve worked with an after-school program called Better Than Schools as an after-school care teacher. In that role, I supervised field trips, assisted students with homework, led fun and educational house mania activity days, and curated lesson plans to ensure the children were engaged and learning. Growing up in a large family, I often babysat my siblings and cousins, which gave me even more hands-on experience with caring for children. If you have any questions about my experience or qualifications, please feel free to reach out!

Ludi $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! It’s so nice to meet you. My name is Ludi though everyone calls me Ela. I am currently in my last year of college at Howard University where I am studying Radiation Therapy. I would describe myself as kind, reliable, responsible and energetic which makes taking care of children a responsibility I greatly enjoy. I was born in Eritrea and grew up in Seattle where I enjoyed hiking, going on walks, and visiting some amazing bookshops and cafes. I first starting helping care for children when my sister was born. While I can’t believe that she is nine now (!!!), I have enjoyed helping take care of her since she was born. Since my mother was a contract worker and my father worked doubles, taking care of her was a responsibility I took very seriously and found to be beyond rewarding. The skills and patience I gained when helping her learn to read or understand her frustrations when she couldn’t verbalize them are ones I use now as I study patient care. Since taking care of her, I have been trusted with the care of children of all ages and varying needs. I personally enjoy reading together, going on walks, working through homework, playing games, cooking, and making origami animals with kids. I am very health conscious and have received both Covid shots as well as three boosters along with my yearly flu shot. It is important to me that I develop long lasting, and meaningful connections with families I can provide services to. I can’t wait to meet you!!

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
