Hanna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a DC professional (general manager of a small business) looking to do something fun and fulfilling with my mornings. I've grown up with dogs, cats, rodents, and currently have two cats and several fishtanks, so I am well acquainted with general and specialized pet care. I am fit and familiar with DC's walkable areas and trails (commute by bike when the weather's nice) so perfectly capable of walking dogs for short or long distances, whatever is necessary! I love big dogs and have no allergies, so any size is fine by me. I also obviously have a lot of experience with cats, including administering both oral and injected medication. I am more than capable of basic fish care and freshwater changes, and able to identify some common illnesses (fin rot, bloat, etc) that people who don't have tanks may miss in such small creatures! I have 60+ plants in my house so I am also capable of plant care if you need a housesitter who will care for them in an educated manner - I'm familiar with the demands of higher need plants like calatheas and ferns, know when to leave less thirsty plants like snakes and zz's alone to keep from risking root rot, and even come with my own moisture meter. I love living things and their care, and would love to take care of yours! I do have experience with children (oldest of 4) and can help out with some light babysitting, although more comfortable with helping out around the house some mornings to take the load off! I can prep simple meals, tidy up, do laundry and dishes, and am fairly handy if you need shelves hung or a wall painted!

Booked by 3 families in Glen Echo, MD

Hi, my name is Allison and I'm currently working at a local bakery. I'm offering childcare and pet care, with light household services up for discussion. I have been watching children from newborn to elementary school age since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included meal prep, bedtime routines, outside and park play, assisting with organizing kid's rooms and toys, reading time, and general playtime. I am happy to work with families with dogs or cats.

Allison is great to work with! We have hired her multiple times. She is friendly and kind, working hard to engage the kids.

Emma 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Emma and I'm offering childcare, pet services, and household services. I have babysat ages 6 months-13 years since I was 16 and I worked as a camp counselor for several years. I work in the science and space sector and enjoy sharing space facts along with conducting science experiments! I was also a studio art minor in college, so I love doing arts and crafts with kids. I grew up with two cats and two dogs that I adore and miss very much, so I am happy to care for any animals — the more the merrier! I am also offering household services, including cleaning and organizing.

We’ve had a great experience with her. She’s extremely professional, always punctual, and immediately connected with our kids — ages 11, 3, and 5 months. She keeps each of them engaged at their level, handles routines smoothly, and we feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Highly recommend.
