$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in College Park, MD

Hello! My name is Anna, and I’m a 21 year old pre-med student at Georgetown University. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and have spent the past five years as a nanny for a wonderful family of five in Princeton, caring for their three children from infancy through early childhood. Over the years, I’ve built strong, long-term relationships with families and truly enjoy supporting children as they grow and learn. In addition to childcare, I have been a certified EMT since age 16 and continue to volunteer both at home and at Georgetown University. Families describe me as dependable, energetic, and compassionate, and I bring both safety and fun to every caregiving role. I am offering child care, dog care, and house sitting. I am looking forward to making those connections here in DC!

Anna was kind and professional, super easy to communicate with babysitter. She was attentive and engaging and we loved our time with her. We will absolutely book again!

Julie $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring and dependable mother of three adult children with a long history of working with little ones. Before raising my own family, I spent two years working in a daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. For many years, I also taught children at Sabbath School, which helped me understand how to keep young minds engaged, supported, and feeling safe. I bring a calm, nurturing presence into the home, and I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages. Parents often appreciate my patience, my consistency, and the way I help children feel understood and valued. What I Offer I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to creating a fun yet structured environment that helps your children thrive. I have a good car and a clean driving record, and I’m used to being on the road from my experience with DoorDash—so pickups, drop-offs, and quick errands are no problem if needed. Whether you’re looking for someone to help after school, during evenings, or for occasional support, I’m happy to step in and bring peace of mind to your family’s routine. Why I would be a good fit: • Mother of three grown children • Experience working in a daycare • Many years teaching children during Sabbath School • Safe and reliable transportation • Professional, gentle, and attentive • Comfortable supporting household routines

"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!"
