Hi! My name is Sophia, and I am a student at American University in NW Washington. In my free time, I love writing poetry, swimming, and baking. I have experience taking care of animals, as I have an adorable cat and bunny! I am new to taking care of children, but excited for this opportunity. I want to make your life easier for you. Hoping to meet you soon :)
Hi! I’m Liza. I’m based in DC and have spent the last 12+ years working with kids in a variety of settings. I worked as a preschool teacher at a nature-based school in college, spent the pandemic as a special education substitute teacher for 1st–5th grade, was the activities coordinator of a nature center, and have been a counselor at a several different types of camps. Even though my current career brought me in a different direction, I’m comfortable with kids of all ages and animals of all sizes. I pride myself on bring a calm, attentive, and fun approach to caregiving and education. I’m CPR and first aid certified and happy to provide references from both families and school settings. I’d love to connect and help out for a date night or as an after school sitter!
Hello! My name is Milagro and I'm a Columbia University graduate working in the field of education. I'm bilingual -- Spanish and English. I have experience as a babysitter, summer nanny, homework helper, ESL Tutor, and SAT/AP tutor in Richmond, VA, NYC, and Washington DC. I love having the opportunity to really connect with the kids I take care of and being able to see them grow over time.
Hello! I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with over 20 years of experience babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting for families in communities where I have lived. I genuinely love this work — it's been a constant in my life for two decades because I care about doing it well. I hold a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health, so I bring real knowledge of child development, health and safety along with my hands-on experience. I also have worked as a teacher, mentor, tutor, and coach — helping kids grow, learn, and build confidence is one of my favorite parts of this work. That same attentiveness and care carries over beautifully to elder companion care — I enjoy providing patient, attentive companionship and support. I am recently CPR certified for both children and adults through the American Red Cross, so you can feel at ease knowing I'm prepared for the unexpected. Whether it's watching and mentoring your kids, keeping your home safe while you're away, caring for your pets, or even your plants (thanks to some recent greenhouse experience!), I treat every responsibility like it's my own. I'd love to help your family feel supported and cared for.
Hi! I just graduated nursing school from the University of South Caroline in December of 2022. I am living at home for a few months before I move down to Charleston, SC this spring to start a job on a cardiac floor at MUSC. I have worked with children of all ages and capabilities since I was in middle school. I have always loved caring for children, so I hope to one day work in a NICU or pediatric unit! I am fully vaccinated & boosted, and am happy to show proof. I have my own car and would be happy to drive your children to any activities!

"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!"
