Hi, I’m Janel! I’m a graduate student pursuing my Master’s in Social Work with 5 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages and abilities. I’ve worked as a Registered Behavior Technician and ABA Therapist providing 1:1 care for children with autism and developmental delays, helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills. I’m patient, nurturing, and great at creating a calm and structured environment where kids feel safe and supported. I also have experience as a paraprofessional in a school setting and led youth programs where I was responsible for the safety and wellbeing of groups of students. I genuinely love working with kids and bring both professional training and a warm, caring personality to every family I work with. I’m looking for flexible babysitting opportunities in the DC/Maryland area and would love to support your family!

Janel was great with my two kids.

Hello, I am Denise Edwards and I was a professional Nanny in the DMV area for more than 15 years. I am currently seeking part time employment as a Nanny/babysitter, elderly care companion. I am a punctual, funloving, caring, reliable, individual with extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I believe my background and dedication make me an excellent fit for any position and I hopefully there will be someone who will give me serious consideration. I love children, I love taking care of people and I look forward to hearing from you. Additionally I am free for overnights or full weekends if a parent need it. I am also a trained chef so one can be assured of proper meals for the children in my care, even if it is simple as Mac n cheese. I will even prepare a meal for you the parents. I love what I do and I do what I love is my mantra. Sincerely, Denise PS: I am looking forward to some positive responses. I won't disappoint.

"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!"
