Courtney $20 per hour for 1 child

Every summer in high school I was a camp counselor for roughly six weeks, working with ages 4-10. I also frequently babysat during high school, usually ages 7-10. I am currently on my fourth season as a Girls on the Run coach for ages 8-10. I really enjoy spending time kids. I have always had a dog and typically take care of my dog when my parents are away. I am a responsible person and understand the effort required to take care of people (fur people include) and genuinely enjoy doing that!

Booked by 3 families in District Heights, MD

Dear Parents: I am seeking a childcare position on an occasional basis. I'm 38 years of age, living in the Bowie, MD area but I also travel throughout the DC area regularly. I have over 15 years of prior experience in Early Childhood Education in licensed preschool centers and training in Early Childhood courses. I studied techniques in safety, guidance, health, and positive sense of self while promoting social, mental, and physical growth in children. I report progress and build relationships with children, parents, or staff while continually displaying professional conduct. I have experience with children of all ages. I look forward to greeting the children and parents with a genuine welcome as well as giving the parents a sense of comfort when their child is in my care. Thank you.

Grace $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a young professional originally from Colorado who is great with kids of all ages. I’m good at keeping kids engaged with all kinds of activities, from getting active outside, to getting creative with arts and crafts projects, and working on homework. I’m also a pet sitter and do great with all kinds of cats and dogs. I’d be more than happy to meet you and your family or share more information about myself.
