I’m a young professional originally from Colorado who is great with kids of all ages. I’m good at keeping kids engaged with all kinds of activities, from getting active outside, to getting creative with arts and crafts projects, and working on homework. I’m also a pet sitter and do great with all kinds of cats and dogs. I’d be more than happy to meet you and your family or share more information about myself.
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!”
Nice to meet you! After receiving my Bachelor's in Psychology with a specialization in Child Development, I moved back to the DC area to be closer to family. Between my undergrad work programs and my current job, I've been working in a teaching capacity with children for about 6 years now. Currently, I'm employed full time as a associate teacher at a DC preschool. This experience provides me with lots of benefits that I then get to share with my babysitting families! Some of these benefits include child CPR certification, easy meal times (I've supported all sorts of kids with different dietary and motor needs), comfort with managing siblings, and a willingness to embrace the toughest bedtime routines. I look forward to working with your family!

"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
