Alyson $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! If you are seeking a seasoned, kind, compassionate and highly intuitive caregiver, you have come to the right profile! My background in professional theater, education and special education have honed my innate talents in connecting with and providing positive and enriching experiences for the children and young adults with whom I have worked. My charges have included many children who are neurodiverse including those with Autism. I'm fit, active and energetic with "fun Auntie" or "cool (young) G-ma" vibes. But I'm also a more type B, caregiver who would be perfect for a child that needs a bit more of a nurturing presence rather than just a playmate. I also adore Dogs and am available to care for SMALL dogs.

Sophia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sophia and I am a consultant living and working in Northern Virginia. I have experience babysitting children through my college town in Vermont and while growing up in Central Florida. I speak English and Korean fluently, can cook and clean efficiently, and I am very detail-oriented. I also do CrossFit, run, and played collegiate golf. I am committed to providing attentive care that meets the needs of your loved ones! I am very comfortable with dogs and cats, and would happily babysit in households with pets and children or outright watch either. I am also CPR certified!

Hi there! My name is Zay :) I’m currently a senior student-athlete at Howard University, where I compete on the swim and dive team. Im health science major with a minor in biology. I have experience working with children through several roles, including as a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and as a Student Leader Intern (SLI) for the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools program. I was also involved in my schools Best Buddies program and am well versed in communicating with kids with special needs. I am a MANDATED REPORTER and fully FIRST AID & CPR certified, so safety is always my top priority.

I connect easily with kids of all ages and pride myself on providing both a safe and enjoyable experience for them (and peace of mind for parents!).

Natanya $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a postgraduate adult with over six years of professional experience as a babysitter, complemented by more than fifteen years of hands-on caregiving as an older sister to my younger sibling. From an early age, I developed a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness, which has naturally carried into my work with children. My experience spans supporting children’s daily routines, fostering a safe and nurturing environment, and engaging them in age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. I am passionate about spending time with children and supporting their growth in a positive, caring way. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and traveling, interests that help me stay active, curious, and adaptable—qualities I bring into my caregiving approach. I value meaningful connections, clear communication, and creating experiences where children feel supported, understood, and encouraged to explore the world around them.
