Mariel $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Mariel. I have more than 4 years of experience taking care of little ones. I am offering child care and house services; organizing your closet or helping you clean your house. I enjoy being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, and toddlers since I was 8 years old because I used to take care of my young sister in Peru while my mother went to work. Obviously, I had the help of my older sister. I started working more seriously as a caregiver when I was 18, taking care of a newborn for two months, then I came to the USA as an au-pair, and took care of a toddler and a 4-year-old for two years. After that, I took care of a baby for a year and a half until he went to daycare. And my last job was with a baby; my contract was for 5 months, and it was a great time with them. I have great references from all my previous jobs. I am happy to work with families with dogs, but I will not take care of the dog unless I see a great need for the pup, and I will try my best to help if the dog is in need and you are not home. I will prefer a schedule from 9 AM to 4 PM, and weekends are off-limits since I have other commitments, and I prioritize time with my family.

Usha $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m Usha! I’m reliable, caring, and love working with kids. I enjoy planning fun activities, helping with routines, and making sure children feel safe and supported. Families can count on me to be on time, dependable, and attentive. A little about me, I live in the Reston community, love being active, and also have a sweet dog named Theo, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I’d love the chance to bring positive energy to your family and make life a little easier while giving your kids a fun and safe experience.

Sara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with over 20 years of experience babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting for families in communities where I have lived. I genuinely love this work — it's been a constant in my life for two decades because I care about doing it well. I hold a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health, so I bring real knowledge of child development, health and safety along with my hands-on experience. I also have worked as a teacher, mentor, tutor, and coach — helping kids grow, learn, and build confidence is one of my favorite parts of this work. That same attentiveness and care carries over beautifully to elder companion care — I enjoy providing patient, attentive companionship and support. I am recently CPR certified for both children and adults through the American Red Cross, so you can feel at ease knowing I'm prepared for the unexpected. Whether it's watching and mentoring your kids, keeping your home safe while you're away, caring for your pets, or even your plants (thanks to some recent greenhouse experience!), I treat every responsibility like it's my own. I'd love to help your family feel supported and cared for.
