I’m a responsible and caring college student with experience working at a Montessori school with children ages 2–5. I was also a nanny for three boys (ages 10–13) for three years, helping with activities, homework, and daily routines. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on creating a safe, positive environment for kids.
Hi families! My name is Mycala, and I am a passionate childcare provider with experience in early childhood education and working as a full-time nanny. I have cared for children of various ages and love creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and encouraged to explore. I enjoy planning hands-on activities like art, music, reading, and creative play while following each child’s interests and developmental needs. I believe children communicate and learn in many different ways, and I love being a caregiver who helps them feel confident, curious, and valued. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, with experience supporting daily routines, activities, meals, and the unique needs of each family. I would love the opportunity to provide your child with a caring and fun experience!
Impacting children positively is what I love to do. With five years of experience caring for children aged 0-12+, I bring a calm and patient, yet energetic and fun, approach to childcare. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to help children thrive. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. l provide regular updates to parents via text or phone call, and I always give a breakdown of the day at pickup. I have a car, l'm comfortable with pets, and I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. Watching children learn and grow brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your child's development.
Hello! My name is Mary Elizabeth, and I am a recent college graduate who just moved to Washington, DC. I grew up babysitting for families in my church and was a camp counselor for many years. I also grew up on a farm taking care of dogs, cats, and horses! I am a dependable and responsible person with great attention to detail. I have experience with all ages. I was a cross country and track runner in college, so I love being active and I have plenty of energy to play with kiddos! I have experience tutoring as well, and would love to help out with homework.
Hello! My name is Allie and I am a rising Senior at American University interning in DC over the summer! I have experience babysitting and pet sitting in the past, and would love the opportunity to do this again! Other notable experiences include being a campus peer-facilitator where I learned how to create fun activities for freshman to help them learn more about their introductory class. I am highly motivated and love to be around kids!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
