Eliana $23 per hour for 1 child

I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, have fun, and feel safe. It makes me happy to support their growth and create positive experiences for them. I am a qualified teacher and I have experience working with children of different ages in educational settings and childcare. I have also worked as a babysitter, caring for children, organizing activities, and helping with daily routines. I have strong communication skills, patience, creativity, and responsibility. I enjoy planning fun activities such as arts and crafts, storytelling, educational games, outdoor play, music, dancing, and creative learning activities based on each child’s age. I can also help with routines and provide a safe and caring environment for children. I am available on weekends.

Paige $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Paige. As the youngest of five, I grew up surrounded by older siblings who shaped me into someone patient, adaptable, and easy to connect with. Being part of a big family made me naturally comfortable around children and helped me understand different personalities and family dynamics. I’ve also played a big role in raising my nephew since he was a baby (he’s 5 now). We have a very close bond, and caring for him taught me how to keep kids engaged, supported, and on a healthy routine. I’m thoughtful, communicative, and always make sure children feel safe, heard, and comfortable. Parents can expect consistent updates and clear communication from me. I can prepare meals, keep things organized, help with bedtime routines, and assist with homework. I’m also a mentor at my job, so guiding and supporting others especially kids comes naturally to me. I’m great with pets as well; I’ve had four dogs and I’m very comfortable around animals. I’m available evenings and weekends, and I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and someone families can trust.

Aurelia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! my name is Aurelia, I'm currently a student at Cambridge University and have lived abroad in both England and Germany for the past three years, but I was raised in Bethesda, Maryland, where I also completed high school—so I'm very familiar with the area! I have my own transportation, a clean record, and a strong background working with children. I spent 3 years coaching kids with autism on my weekends through the ACEing Autism tennis program and served as an assistant teacher, tutoring children with learning disabilities during my junior and senior years of high school. I've babysat on and off throughout my life, caring for children ages 3 to 10. I'm reliable, experienced, and passionate about creating a safe, fun environment for kids!

Danica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Danica, a recent master’s graduate in education with a strong background in childcare, pet care, and household services. I’ve spent over three years working with toddlers and older children in Montessori classrooms, early intervention settings, and as a caregiver, plus some experience with infants. I love doing crafts, baking, and spending time outdoors with kids, and I’m always happy to help with homework too. I’m also an animal lover! I have two cats and a dog of my own and have cared for many pets over the years. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just playing and giving them attention, I’m comfortable with all breeds (even the big, fluffy ones). On top of that, I can help keep your home running smoothly. I have past experience as a house cleaner and can take care of cooking, cleaning, errands, laundry, and organizing. Families can count on me to be warm, reliable, and to keep their home running smoothly while making every day feel special and fun for their children.
