Yanae $26 per hour for 1 child

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.

In my free time, I enjoy nature walks and reading.

Grace $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Grace! I've been in DC for over 10 years and have always enjoyed doing occasional babysitting jobs while also working full-time. When I'm not working at a museum in DC where my work includes overseeing educational exhibits, field trips, and teacher content, I can be found walking my dog or visiting my nephews. I truly enjoy spending time with children and working with families over time to understand each personality and need. I have a range of experience from infant to school-aged as well as children with special needs. I'm here to help when you need the occasional day or night off.

Annie $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm originally from Atlanta and have been living in DC for the past two years while attending law school. Before moving here, I was a full-time nanny for three years, caring for two wonderful kids between the ages of 3 and 6. I also have experience babysitting children of all ages, from infants to teens.
