Crystal $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Crystal. I am a young professional living and working in the DMV. I have an MPH in Social and Behavioral Sciences from Temple University, Go Owls! I am looking for some work on the side to make some extra money and also get outside more (I work from home)! I have 10+ years of experience with children. I worked for a local babysitting agency through high school and college. I have also worked as an RBT! I am not a CNA but I do come from a family of caregivers and I have experience providing companionship/assistance/non medical general care for elderly clients. I can also care for pets, I have a cat of my own and I have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I have been cpr certified in the past and can get certified again. Feel free to ask any clarifying questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Danica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Danica, a recent master’s graduate in education with a strong background in childcare, pet care, and household services. I’ve spent over three years working with toddlers and older children in Montessori classrooms, early intervention settings, and as a caregiver, plus some experience with infants. I love doing crafts, baking, and spending time outdoors with kids, and I’m always happy to help with homework too. I’m also an animal lover! I have two cats and a dog of my own and have cared for many pets over the years. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just playing and giving them attention, I’m comfortable with all breeds (even the big, fluffy ones). On top of that, I can help keep your home running smoothly. I have past experience as a house cleaner and can take care of cooking, cleaning, errands, laundry, and organizing. Families can count on me to be warm, reliable, and to keep their home running smoothly while making every day feel special and fun for their children.

Anna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Anna, a responsible, kind-hearted caregiver with a deep love for children, animals, and creating a nurturing, engaging environment. Originally from Ukraine, I moved to the U.S. in my early twenties and have over a decade of professional experience in finance. Recently, I decided to take a meaningful break to focus on personal growth—and return to my roots in caregiving. From a young age, I helped raise my younger cousins and babysat children of all ages, even while working as a lifeguard during the summers. I believe in creating a safe, loving space where children can feel heard, supported, and encouraged to grow. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, helping with homework, or maintaining routines, I’m attentive to each child’s unique needs. I’m also a lifelong animal lover—I grew up with two Rottweilers who were like family—and currently care for a cat and a chinchilla of my own. Pets always warm up to me, and I’m happy to assist with their care too! I’m available to help with school pickups, light housekeeping, meal prep, and whatever else helps your day run smoothly. I’m calm, patient, trustworthy, and committed to being a reliable support for your family. Thank you for considering me—I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help! Warmly, Anna
