Hi, I'm Naomi! I recently graduated from Lafayette College and have moved back home for my gap year while I prepare for graduate school. I have 7 years of professional experience working with children and would love the chance to support your family. As the oldest sibling in my family, caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I first discovered my love for childcare while helping care for my two younger sisters, who are my world. Over the years, I've continued babysitting and tutoring children of different ages, from toddlers to elementary schoolers, in both home and school settings. I’m patient, responsible, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids -- whether that’s helping with homework, doing crafts, going to the park, playing games, or simply creating a safe and fun environment for them. I also have a car and am happy to help with transportation, appointments, pick-ups/drop-offs, errands, or activities if needed. I’m also a huge animal lover! I have five dogs myself and have experience pet sitting and cat sitting for friends, so I’d be more than happy to help care for pets as well. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and see if I’d be a good fit for your needs!
“Naomi is amazing with my sons especially Zaiheim. He is autistic and she has been so patient and kind to him. She is reliable, on time and caring and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. ”
Hi, I'm Maddie! I'm a graduate student at UMD and I am currently offering child care services. I love working with and empowering kids and have previously had roles as a summer science camp teacher and summer library staff where I primarily have cared for school-aged children. I love doing crafts, reading, and playing games with kids and I occasionally tutor.
“Maddie is absolutely wonderful! It was her first time meeting my son, who’s on the spectrum, and they connected right away. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and someone I feel completely comfortable trusting with his care. Maddie even handled driving him to and from his ABA therapy, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found her and look forward to having her help again on future dates.”
Hi-My name is Brennan and I am available for caregiving of all ages, household errands, and pet-sitting. I have been a registered nurse for 6 years, and I am finishing up school for my Nurse Practitioner. I am CPR certified and live in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of DC. I love working with children, and I have babysat for children of all ages since I was in high school. Please let me know if I can help you or your family!
I love the ages of infant to 5 years old and hope to one day return to caring for and establishing a full time early childhood business. My career since my early 20s has been in education. I worked for 3+ years in Early Childhood Education and later moved to middle school teacher. In addition, I raised two children of my own who are currently in their late teens. I'm currently working as an administrator in the central office of DC Public Schools and am seeking part-time employment as a nanny, babysitter, house sitter, pet sitter, and more. Whatever the family which is the right fit may need.
Hi! My name is Charlotte. I am a graduate student at Trinity Washington University. I have a strong background in caregiving and support services. I offer a variety of services including child care, pet care, and household help. I’ve worked in both healthcare and family-focused environments, including hospitals, babysitting, summer camps for children with disabilities, and therapy-based programs. I'm currently pursuing a career in occupational therapy, so I'm passionate about creating supportive, engaging environments for people of all ages. I’ve cared for children of all age, from toddlers to middle schoolers. I’ve babysat a 5-year-old nonverbal child with autism, volunteered at pediatric therapy centers, and mentored elementary students through a college program. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and CPR/BLS Certified. Additionally, I've helped manage food pantries, assisted with household tasks in caregiving roles, and frequently help family/friends with organizing, meal prep, and errands.

"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!"
