Hallo, My name is Genesis I am a mother of 3 children and grandparent of 4. I love taking care of children especially infants and toddlers. Am currently working as a cashier at Walmart, but before I was taking care of my granddaughter in New York from 2[removed]. I love playing with kids, reading story books, going for a walk and going to the play ground near by the neighborhood if it’s safe to go. Safety comes first when it comes to kids. I can cook and clean well. Currently I don’t drive.
Hello! My name is Lena, I’m 18 years old and I am in my sophomore year of college. I have been babysitting for 3 and a half years for various families. I speak English, Spanish, and French which a lot of families benefit from! I’m very patient, and love working with kids!
Hi! I’m Kiley, a 31 year old professional who works on the Hill in operations.

Happy to chat more!
First of all I have worked as nursing aid for more than 3years. I am a mum of two wonderful boys who love kids. Since last year I am an enfant teacher in a childcare center.

Hi there! My name is Zay :) I’m currently a senior student-athlete at Howard University, where I compete on the swim and dive team. Im health science major with a minor in biology. I have experience working with children through several roles, including as a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and as a Student Leader Intern (SLI) for the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools program. I was also involved in my schools Best Buddies program and am well versed in communicating with kids with special needs. I am a MANDATED REPORTER and fully FIRST AID & CPR certified, so safety is always my top priority. Beyond childcare, I love coaching youth sports and creating fun, supportive environments where kids can learn, grow, and feel confident. I connect easily with kids of all ages and pride myself on providing both a safe and enjoyable experience for them (and peace of mind for parents!).

"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."
