Achal $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am currently a working professional in the DMV area, but grew up in DFW. I have a degree in international business, and have worked with people from all backgrounds. I would babysit occasionally in high school and college over the years in between and after classes, but am hoping to connect with families when they are in need of someone to help out! I also love to cook and read, so if you are looking for someone to help out with dinners or reading to kids, please reach out! Thanks!

Julia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Julia and I currently work as a Substitute Teacher and Pet/Housesitter in the DMV. I am looking to expand my client base and serve more families in the area. I am offering pet care, child care, senior care, and household services. I have a masters degree in Childhood Education and have worked as a Substitute Teacher for more than 8 years, in three different states (NYC, WA, MD). I have another masters degree in Recreation Education & Therapy and have worked in therapeutic and commercial recreation for many years, including at summer camps and even for Disney Cruise Line. I have done babysitting ever since I was a teenager, and have experimented with my own business in children’s birthday parties and creativity workshops. I am also so happy to have expanded into pet care in recent years, because I absolutely love dogs and cats. I’ve been a member of Trusted Housesitters for years, and have worked for a pet/home concierge company in the DMV for a year. Housekeeping/homemaking is also my passion. I like to keep a home tidy, and I enjoy doing errands, shopping for groceries, and cooking Italian food (especially pizza). I am also interested in providing companion care with seniors, as I love hearing elders’ stories and wisdom, and providing them with good company. I used to host recreational programs with seniors at assisted living centers, including improv comedy, creative writing and discussion groups. Overall, I love serving families directly, whether it be with their pets, children or seniors, and the home itself. I’m kind of like a substitute family member for hire!

Aara $15 per hour for 1 child

Growing up in a large family meant that I always was intimately acquainted with just how intense and rewarding it can be to raise children. Even though it can be chaotic at times, seeing the world through new eyes is exciting. As such, for all of high school, I babysat children from the ages of 3-10, taking them to after-school lessons, making dinners and spending time going on adventures! In addition, I also tutored in a local elementary school, assisting technology classes and helping students with beginner coding and typing skills. As a university student currently, I have continued to tutor in math and reading comprehension for students aged from 5-17.

Maylani $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in College Park, MD

Hi! My name is Maylani, and I am entering my junior year of college studying Public Health Science. I’m looking for a seasonal summer babysitting position and would love to support a family that needs help during the week and/or weekends. I have experience babysitting for families in my neighborhood after completing Safe Sitter training, and I have also worked as a gymnastics coach for school-age children since the summer of 2023, a role I continue to hold today. Coaching has helped me develop patience, creativity, leadership, and strong communication skills with children of all ages. A little more about me: I hope to become a podiatrist in the future, and as a pre-med student, I have been consistently shadowing at a pediatric urgent care clinic since June 2025, which has given me additional hands-on exposure to working with children in a clinical setting. I also had the opportunity to shadow at a pediatric hospital in Athens, Greece. In addition, I love science, work as a college biology tutor during the school year, and will be doing biology research this summer. If you’re looking for a responsible, energetic, and caring babysitter this summer, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
