Hi, my name is Amy and I’m looking forward to helping your family out with childcare :) I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate and am looking for evening/ weekend opportunities. My mom had a home daycare so I’ve been around infants and children of all age practically my entire life! Prior to PA school, I was also babysitting for a family and helped with animal care as well as house sitting. I am CPR certified and am also a native Spanish speaker. I am comfortable with tasks including meal prepping, homework, potty training, and providing safe and age appropriate activities for your kiddo. Please let me know if you’d like to connect :)

Hi! I’m Fatou, a Howard University student majoring in Psychology and double minoring in Biology and Maternal and Child Health with dreams of becoming a travel midwife. I’m experienced and comfortable working with children of all ages—from infants and toddlers to older kids. My background includes leading activities as an elementary summer camp program leader as well as tutoring and mentoring middle and high schoolers here in DC. I’m patient, super reliable, and always happy to help with homework, creative play, or any housework that needs to be done.

Ada $19 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Ada and I'm a junior at the University of Virginia. I am offering childcare and household services. I have helped take care of my two younger brothers and four younger cousins since they were born. I love babysitting and I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (in addition to those I'm related to!) since I was about 13. I enjoy doing arts and crafts with children and playing games (both indoor and outdoor). I have had several jobs tutoring children in reading, writing, math, and French, through Philly Reading Coaches, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, and Teach for America. I'm happy to do any tutoring or homework help. Additionally, in high school, I worked at a summer camp for numerous years and I have experience teaching kids theater, dance, and various sports. In terms of household services, I am incredibly organized and I would be happy to help with organization, cleaning, cooking simple meals, laundry, and any other general tidying up. Thanks so much!

Annie $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm originally from Atlanta and have been living in DC for the past two years while attending law school. Before moving here, I was a full-time nanny for three years, caring for two wonderful kids between the ages of 3 and 6. I also have experience babysitting children of all ages, from infants to teens. I love spending time reading, crafting, and doing puzzles with kids—and I'm always happy to help with furry family members too! I have a great eye for organization and enjoy tidying up as I go. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!
