I am currently a full-time student at American University, graduating in May 2026 with a degree in Political Science. Outside of school, I enjoy staying active, which helps me bring plenty of energy and engagement to any enviorment I work in. I have experience in a variety of roles, including internships, food service, and other customer-facing positions, that have strengthened my communication, organization, and problem solving skills. I’m outgoing, friendly, responsible, easygoing, and comfortable managing routines. Thank you for considering my profile, hope to chat soon!
Hi there! I am currently a working professional in the DMV area, but grew up in DFW. I have a degree in international business, and have worked with people from all backgrounds. I would babysit occasionally in high school and college over the years in between and after classes, but am hoping to connect with families when they are in need of someone to help out! I also love to cook and read, so if you are looking for someone to help out with dinners or reading to kids, please reach out! Thanks!
Hi families! My name is Zelal, and I’m so excited to share a little bit about myself. 🌟 I have 4+ years of childcare experience and truly love what I do. When I first came to the U.S., I worked as an au pair caring for 4 amazing kids (ages 7, 5, 3, and 2). Since then, I’ve been working as a live-out nanny and currently look after three sweet babies 💛 I enjoy spending time with children of all ages—whether that’s playing outside , doing arts & crafts , reading stories , or creating fun little learning activities. My goal is always to make sure kids feel safe, happy, and loved, while also keeping things fun and engaging. 🏡 Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks like cooking 🍳, tidying up 🧹, organizing , or errands to make life easier for busy parents. I’m also a big animal lover (especially dogs 🐕), so if you have pets, I’ll be more than happy to care for them too! 🌟 Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, caring, and reliable. I always bring a positive attitude and treat each child as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and be a supportive, trustworthy part of your team 💕
“Zelal is a trustworthy and accountable sitter. We’ve worked with her for over a year for regular date nights and one off coverage needs. She’s knowledgeable and kind, and my 3 year old always says she has fun. Zelal is engaged and very willing to take my daughter to the park, on walks, or suggest home based activities. Highly recommend!”
Hey! My name is Vince, I am 19 years old and I am currently in flight school and pursuing a degree in Social Work as well. I am originally from Prescott, Arizona and I moved out to Washington for school. I love to cook and I have a passion for working on cars. I have been babysitting for about 2 years, and I have volunteered at several youth summer camps. I have a dog and a cat at home so pet care is nothing new to me! I am always open to helping out, whether it be hands-on jobs around the house, or running errands!
My name is Yanae. I’m 26 years old and currently work as a preschool teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, where I’ve grown into roles such as mentor, staff leader, and Lead Teacher. I’m passionate about working with children and supporting the development of both students and fellow educators. I have my degree in psychology and I am CPR certified. I also have experience working with a variety of age groups, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. When I babysit, I focus on providing more one-on-one attention, engaging children in different activities and creating meaningful interactions throughout the time we spend together. In my free time, I enjoy nature walks and reading.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
