$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Bethesda, MD
Hi, I’m excited to meet your family! 😊 Hi! I’m Chinenye, Chichi for short. I’m a nursing student who genuinely enjoys caring for and spending time with children. I’m looking to take on occasional babysitting opportunities that fit around my school schedule. I’m experienced in being patient and attentive to each child’s needs, prepping simple meals, engaging in playtime, and making sure kids stay safe and comfortable while their parents are away. I also enjoy reading, crafting, helping with homework, going outside, or just having a calm time with them and I'm happy to follow each family's routines and preferences as I know every child and family is different. I’m dependable, caring, and easy to communicate with, and will always do my best to make sure you feel comfortable and confident while your child is in my care. Currently, I’m mainly interested in occasional babysitting, date nights, evenings, or part-time opportunities as this works well with my school schedule. I’d love the chance to meet your family and become a trusted person you can call when you need an extra helping hand!
“Chichi took great care of my kids, 5 and 9. My daughter enjoyed playing games and doing her doll's hair together. Chichi helped them with dinner, showers, and the bedtime routine. I would definitely hire her again.”

Shayla $20 per hour for 1 child
Impacting children positively is what I love to do. With five years of experience caring for children aged 0-12+, I bring a calm and patient, yet energetic and fun, approach to childcare. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to help children thrive. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. l provide regular updates to parents via text or phone call, and I always give a breakdown of the day at pickup. I have a car, l'm comfortable with pets, and I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. Watching children learn and grow brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your child's development.

I was also a nanny for three boys (ages 10–13) for three years, helping with activities, homework, and daily routines. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on creating a safe, positive environment for kids.
Adreana $35 per hour for 1 child
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!
