Emma $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Emma, and I'm finishing my first year at NOVA. I offer childcare mainly, as well as pet care and errand assistance when needed. I spent a year as a full-time teacher’s aide in a 2–3 year old classroom, and I've been babysitting/tutoring elementary and middle school children since I was 16. I’m especially looking to earn more experience with infants (3 months–2 years). I love babies and have cared for infants in the past, but I’m hoping to build more consistent, hands-on experience. I enjoy keeping kids engaged—whether it’s short outdoor play, art, dancing, or building activities. I’ve worked with tantrum-prone toddlers and know how to stay calm, patient, and professional. I aim to create a fun, safe space where kids feel seen and supported. Looking forward to connecting with your family!
Serena $14 per hour for 1 child
Hi - My name is Serena and I'm currently sophomore at George Mason University. I am offering child care and pet care. I enjoy being a helping hand to others thanks to the many parents in my family that needed assistance whether that be with their children or watching over their household. Thanks to this, I have experience with infants, toddlers, and kids. I am capable of driving to and from activities and cooking meals. Also (being a pet owner myself), I have experience taking care of dogs of various breeds. I have a high comfort level with dogs that shed and dogs that are on the larger side.
Ella $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Ella a reliable, patient, and caring babysitter with years of hands-on experience. As the oldest sibling, I naturally stepped into a leadership role early on, helping with homework, meals, routines, and keeping the house running smoothly. I’ve also worked in elementary schools providing after-school support, supervising activities, organizing games, and helping students stay engaged and safe. I’m great with children of all ages and bring a calm, positive energy to every home. I can help with homework, creative play, bedtime routines, simple meal prep, and keeping kids entertained without screens. I’m also happy to help with light chores, such as tidying, dishes, laundry, and basic household organization — whatever makes your day a little easier. In addition to childcare, I offer pet sitting and pet care, including feeding, walks, litter changes, and keeping your pets comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even exotic pets, so your animals will be in safe hands too.
