Hi families! 😊 I first came to the U.S. as an Au Pair and cared for wonderful children from June 2019 to December 2023 Since then, I’ve continued working full-time as a nanny for infants and toddlers in the D.C. area, supporting families with daily routines, developmental play, and bilingual learning. I also take on occasional evening, weekend and holidays babysitting for local families. I’m very patient, kind, and reliable, also I truly enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and happy. I’m a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, and understand Portuguese well — so I’m happy to support bilingual families! I’m currently looking for a full time job and occasional babysitting opportunities and love working with families who value kindness, communication, and trust. Looking forward to meeting you! 💛 Mirian
“Mirian was AMAZING! She filled in last minute to take care of my dog Aspen. She was very communicative and flexible. Highly recommend!”
Hello! I am fun, caring, and dependable and have 3+ years of experience working with preschool and elementary age children in different childcare, after-school, and classroom settings. I currently work as a tutor at an elementary school in DCPS. I love getting to know and spend time with kids-- playing games, doing arts and crafts, reading, exploring, and more! I strive to ensure all kids feel safe, loved, and supported as they learn and grow. I am happy to help with homework, chores, and other housekeeping tasks. I am patient, empathetic, and creative, and will go the extra mile to ensure your children are well cared for!
My name is Kyra-Marie, and I’m a warm, creative, and responsible caregiver with over 7 years of experience working with children from infants to teens. I currently assist in the DC classrooms, helping elementary school students pre-k through 5th develop important skills through both learning and play. I’m certified in Pediatric First Aid and CPR, and I’m confident in caring for children with special needs, including ADHD, autism, asthma, anxiety, food allergies, OCD, tics, and visual and hearing impairments. I love engaging kids through crafts, drawing, reading, games, and hands-on activities. I also enjoy baking with children when parents are comfortable with it, as it’s a fun way for them to be creative while learning practical skills. I’m happy to help with cooking, light chores, and homework. I’m also comfortable with bedtime routines and enjoy taking children out for walks to the park, museums, libraries, or simply getting some fresh air and exploring. If you’re looking for a dependable, empathetic sitter who treats children with care and respect, I’d love to connect.
Hi everyone! My name is Britney and I’m a junior political science major at Howard University looking to babysit afterschool or during the weekends. I have over 10 years of experience with childcare and can provide references if needed. My schedule is pretty flexible because all my classes are in the morning and I plenty of free time during the weekend. I love engaging children in arts and crafts, reading stories together, and baking treats, making every moment a chance for learning and laughter. I can also assist with homework. Please message me if you have any questions or interested in having me as a sitter 🧸
Hi! I'm a DC professional (general manager of a small business) looking to do something fun and fulfilling with my mornings. I've grown up with dogs, cats, rodents, and currently have two cats and several fishtanks, so I am well acquainted with general and specialized pet care. I am fit and familiar with DC's walkable areas and trails (commute by bike when the weather's nice) so perfectly capable of walking dogs for short or long distances, whatever is necessary! I love big dogs and have no allergies, so any size is fine by me. I also obviously have a lot of experience with cats, including administering both oral and injected medication. I am more than capable of basic fish care and freshwater changes, and able to identify some common illnesses (fin rot, bloat, etc) that people who don't have tanks may miss in such small creatures! I have 60+ plants in my house so I am also capable of plant care if you need a housesitter who will care for them in an educated manner - I'm familiar with the demands of higher need plants like calatheas and ferns, know when to leave less thirsty plants like snakes and zz's alone to keep from risking root rot, and even come with my own moisture meter. I love living things and their care, and would love to take care of yours! I do have experience with children (oldest of 4) and can help out with some light babysitting, although more comfortable with helping out around the house some mornings to take the load off! I can prep simple meals, tidy up, do laundry and dishes, and am fairly handy if you need shelves hung or a wall painted!

"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
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
"Hannah was awesome. Went above & beyond to help me with a last minute emergency. She was really sweet & great with my 16mo old. Highly recommend!!"
