Jessica $25 per hour for 1 child

As a former educator who has worked with children ages 8 to 14 (and younger!), I bring a caring and professional touch to every family I work with. My teaching background means I genuinely understand how kids grow and learn, I know how to keep them engaged and having fun, and I stay calm and patient no matter what the day brings. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, which I love because it lets me connect with even more children and families in a meaningful way. I'm also a total animal lover! I have a cat at home and have happily looked after friends' pets many times, including some with special medical needs, so families with fur babies are very welcome. On top of childcare, I'm happy to help keep the household running smoothly too. Whether it's cooking a meal, tidying up, or getting things organized, I take real pride in leaving a home feeling a little better than I found it. I know how much it means to a busy family to have that extra support. Whether you need someone occasionally or a dependable go-to sitter you can count on regularly, I'd love to be that person for your family. Working with young, growing humans truly brings me joy and more than anything, I just love being a helping hand.

Grace $17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Brentwood, MD

Hi - My name is Grace. I'm 23 years old and graduated from Hillsdale College this past May. I work a full time job during the week, so I am looking for part-time and occasional jobs after 5:00 p.m. during the week and during the day on the weekends. I have experience working with kids coaching beginner and competitive gymnastics for ages 4-12. I also have experience volunteering at my college's preschool.

Kate $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kate! I have lived in Capitol Hill for the past four years, but I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri. I am offering child care, household services and can help with any pets. I love being a babysitter and have a lot of experience watching toddlers and kids from a young age, including my cousin, who was born when I was 13! I babysat him multiple times a week until I left for college (and after), as well as other kids in my neighborhood. My older sister and mom are both elementary school teachers (kindergarten and 1st grade!), so I also have a lot of fun experience helping out in their classrooms! I grew up with a dog and currently have 2 cats, so happy to also help out with pets where needed.
