Hello! My name is Adreana and I a junior at Trinity University DC. I am currently looking for a flexible job that allows me to do what I love while also going to school! I am providing babysitting services as well as private education/tutoring. I have been doing both for about 4 years now and absolutely love it! I am currently a preschool teacher so I’m comfortable with working with more than one child and having a set schedule! I also don’t mind doing light cleaning and helping out in any way I can! During my time I will have set activities for the children, good habits never die and I love just having crafts and fun that work and mold the mind!

Hello! I’m a Filipino single mom to an adorable 6-year-old boy, and I am currently seeking a daytime nanny position while he is at school. I have experience caring for infants and young children, and I pride myself on being patient and nurturing. I understand the importance of providing a supportive learning environment that encourages children to reach their milestones. When my son's custody is with his dad, I also work as a bartender in local restaurants, which has helped me build strong interpersonal skills and multitasking abilities. Additionally, I am studying cybersecurity, which showcases my commitment to personal growth and adaptability. I am dedicated to respecting each family's routine and approach to childcare, ensuring the well-being of the children I care for. I look forward to the opportunity to provide loving and attentive care while fostering an engaging and safe environment for your little ones! I would love to meet up in person and see how we can work things out. -Emily
