I am currently a senior over at GWU studying Entrepreneurship and Sociology. I'm a huge dog person and love cooking and baking. I've lived in DC for around three years now and so I am very comfortable navigating all around the city - there is always a new restaurant to try! I'm new to the app and excited to get started!

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a Filipino single mom to an adorable 6-year-old boy, and I am currently seeking a daytime nanny position while he is at school. I have experience caring for infants and young children, and I pride myself on being patient and nurturing. I understand the importance of providing a supportive learning environment that encourages children to reach their milestones. When my son's custody is with his dad, I also work as a bartender in local restaurants, which has helped me build strong interpersonal skills and multitasking abilities. Additionally, I am studying cybersecurity, which showcases my commitment to personal growth and adaptability. I am dedicated to respecting each family's routine and approach to childcare, ensuring the well-being of the children I care for. I look forward to the opportunity to provide loving and attentive care while fostering an engaging and safe environment for your little ones! I would love to meet up in person and see how we can work things out. -Emily
