Isabel $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Isabel. I have worked with children for 3 going on 4 years. Currently, I work at a child care center . I have experience with multiple children at a time. I have fun, creative activities for the children so they're not in front of the TV. I love children and enjoy watching them play and learn new things. I always make sure that the children are comfortable in their environment. I'm available for date nights, an the occasional work days. I have a car and a clean driving record. Since I do work at a daycare I have a background check. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile , I hope I'll hear from you.

Olivia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Olivia. I'm offering child care, senior care, and household help. Being an older sister, I've naturally taken on a caretaking role. Growing up, my sister and I played "school," where I was always the teacher. It was a little glimpse into how much I love helping kids learn and grow. At 16, I became a summer camp counselor for kids ages 6-13, and through college I babysat two children for a family friend. I've also volunteered in a kindergarten classroom teaching an "Hour of Code." My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, activities, and appointments, plus cooking meals and snacks. What I love most is the whimsy, curiosity, and joy of children. I bring patience, responsibility, and lots of warmth to every family. During college, I also worked in a nursing home, where I helped direct activities and built warm connections with the seniors. I'm comfortable with senior care and happy to cook or drive to appointments. I truly value being someone parents can trust and families feel safe with.

Katherine $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Kate and I am college student looking to obtain more babysitting jobs while home during the summer and winter breaks! I have been babysitting since 2021 and have experience with a wide variety of ages, the youngest being 5 months. I have had the pleasure of working with multiple families when their children were babies and have continued watching them as toddlers and elementary schoolers. I am a reliable babysitter who is always on time and committed to giving my full attention to the children to ensure they are safe and happy. I love keeping the children engaged through games, art activities, playing outside, imaginative play, storytelling, and reading. I am also happy to help with homework or learning based activities. Finally, I am responsible and will always follow instructions regarding activities, meal times, and bedtime routines. I can also assist with housework including cleaning up toys, preparing meals, and doing dishes. Feel free to ask any questions!

Hello my name is Lexi ! I am a current Howard University student who loves kids. I am super spontaneous and creative. I have lived in the Silver Spring area all my life and have babysat a numerous amount of kids in my neighborhood. I’m good with pets too as I also walk dogs. I am personable and would love to get to know you and your family. I am great with all ages and can’t wait to give you a little bit of freedom. Leaving your kids with a stranger can be intimidating so feel free to contact me so we can set up a phone call/ FaceTime and if need be a in-person meeting. This really helps you get a feel for me and can help put you at easy. Can’t wait to meet you soon!

"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!"
