Ada $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ada and I'm a junior at the University of Virginia. I am offering childcare and household services. I have helped take care of my two younger brothers and four younger cousins since they were born. I love babysitting and I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (in addition to those I'm related to!) since I was about 13. I enjoy doing arts and crafts with children and playing games (both indoor and outdoor). I have had several jobs tutoring children in reading, writing, math, and French, through Philly Reading Coaches, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, and Teach for America. I'm happy to do any tutoring or homework help. Additionally, in high school, I worked at a summer camp for numerous years and I have experience teaching kids theater, dance, and various sports. In terms of household services, I am incredibly organized and I would be happy to help with organization, cleaning, cooking simple meals, laundry, and any other general tidying up. Thanks so much!

Booked by 3 families in Brentwood, MD

Hello , my name is Bella. I am a responsible college student with hands-on experience caring for young children. I began by caring for a relative’s child years ago during my high school years, and was later recommended to other families in my neighborhood. I also provide childcare at church events, supervising children and leading fun, structured activities. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I focus on creating a safe and positive environment. I can also assist with homework and light household tasks.

Bella was fantastic and did a great job with my daughter. Would/Will definitely hire again!
