Hello! My name is Adreana and I a junior at Trinity University DC. I am currently looking for a flexible job that allows me to do what I love while also going to school! I am providing babysitting services as well as private education/tutoring. I have been doing both for about 4 years now and absolutely love it! I am currently a preschool teacher so I’m comfortable with working with more than one child and having a set schedule! I also don’t mind doing light cleaning and helping out in any way I can! During my time I will have set activities for the children, good habits never die and I love just having crafts and fun that work and mold the mind!
Hi, I'm Dina! With a degree in psychology and tons of hands-on experience being around kids, I know how to keep them entertained and learning at the same time. Whether it’s crafts, playtime, or helping with homework, I love creating a fun and safe environment for little ones. I’m responsible, patient, and full of energy. I’ve got a soft spot for pets too, so your furry family members are in good hands! I’m reliable, patient, and ready to bring some extra joy and support to your family’s routine. From keeping the house organized to meal prep, I’m here to make life easier for your family while bringing lots of smiles and laughter.
Hi! I’m Anna, a responsible, kind-hearted caregiver with a deep love for children, animals, and creating a nurturing, engaging environment. Originally from Ukraine, I moved to the U.S. in my early twenties and have over a decade of professional experience in finance. Recently, I decided to take a meaningful break to focus on personal growth—and return to my roots in caregiving. From a young age, I helped raise my younger cousins and babysat children of all ages, even while working as a lifeguard during the summers. I believe in creating a safe, loving space where children can feel heard, supported, and encouraged to grow. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, helping with homework, or maintaining routines, I’m attentive to each child’s unique needs. I’m also a lifelong animal lover—I grew up with two Rottweilers who were like family—and currently care for a cat and a chinchilla of my own. Pets always warm up to me, and I’m happy to assist with their care too! I’m available to help with school pickups, light housekeeping, meal prep, and whatever else helps your day run smoothly. I’m calm, patient, trustworthy, and committed to being a reliable support for your family. Thank you for considering me—I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help! Warmly, Anna
I’m a responsible and caring college student with experience working at a Montessori school with children ages 2–5. I was also a nanny for three boys (ages 10–13) for three years, helping with activities, homework, and daily routines. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on creating a safe, positive environment for kids.
