Nana $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nana, and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman at Bowie State University majoring in Nursing. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I have three younger siblings, and I've been helping raise and babysit them since they were born. Being responsible for them taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for children of different ages. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in nursing and made me realize how much I enjoy helping families. I'm experienced with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I'm also happy to prepare simple meals, help with bedtime routines, light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping play areas clean and organized. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I understand the importance of creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I'm excited to help families by providing reliable childcare while building meaningful relationships with both parents and their children.

Kaydin $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kaydin! I’m an after-school aide who genuinely loves working with kids and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I work with Pre-K through elementary-aged children and have DCPS clearance and CPR/AED certification. I love keeping kids engaged through games, arts and crafts, music, reading, outdoor play, homework, and just being silly and creative together. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally connect with children, and I really enjoy finding ways to make their time with me fun and meaningful. I’m also happy to help with pets and household tasks like walks, feeding, light cleaning, organizing, meal prep, and errands. I want families to feel confident and comfortable while their kids are having a great time!

Meghan $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Beltsville, MD

Hi! I’m a second grade teacher in the MCPS district with a passion for working with children. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 12 years as a barber, where I built strong connections with kids and families. I’ve also been babysitting since my early teenage years, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. I’m happy to help with homework, plan creative activities, go on nature walks, drive to and from extracurriculars, assist with housekeeping, and, of course, be a little silly and have fun! I am seeking summer employment, but until then, I’m available on weeknights and weekends, and I’m also open to last-minute care when you need an extra hand.

Mari 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Beltsville, MD

Hello! My name is Mari and I am graduating from American University this May. I am 22 years old and am originally from York, PA but live full-time in D.C. I currently work for an environmental non-profit as an intern, and am looking for summer opportunities with families here in the DMV. I have an extensive history of service-oriented positions. I formally used a nannying app called QuadJobs in which I booked and have working relationships with multiple families (unfortunately the app has since shut down). I am the oldest sister in my household as well as having an older brother, so I am aware of sibling relationships and responsibility. I am diligent and committed, having worked for Starbucks for 3 years while being a full-time student with multiple other jobs and commitments. I also am an equestrian-- I have extensive history with horses and other animals, making me very capable of caring for any sort of family pet! I have my own car here, meaning I am flexible with travel as well as quick with transportation needs. After my graduation in May, I plan on staying within the District to apply to jobs in the environmental sector before attending graduate school after a year or so. Happy to meet you!

“Mari was punctual, professional, conscientious, and our girls loved her. We can't wait to have her back!”

"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!"
