Tinbit $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Tinbit, and I’m currently offering babysitting and childcare services in the area 🤍 I have over 3 years of experience working as a special needs caregiver in Ethiopia, where I provided dedicated, patient, and personalized care to children. This experience has shaped me to be extremely attentive, understanding, and compassionate in how I care for every child. I also currently serve as a Sunday school teacher (8 months - Present), where I guide and care for children in a structured and supportive environment. In addition, I’ve worked in fast-paced settings assisting with large events, which strengthened my responsibility and organization. I grew up in a large family and attended an international school, so I’m very comfortable with children from all backgrounds and personalities. I truly love being around kids, their honesty, joy, and the way they find happiness in the smallest things is something I deeply value. I’m nurturing, uplifting, and also firm when needed, creating a balanced and positive environment. I strongly believe that childhood is one of the most important stages of life, and I aim to be a trustworthy and positive presence in every child’s life. I am reliable, patient, and committed to making both children and parents feel safe and supported. If you’re looking for a babysitter or nanny, feel free to message me—I would love to connect! 🤍

zelal 3 reviews
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Zelal, and I’m so excited to share a little bit about myself. 🌟 I have 4+ years of childcare experience and truly love what I do. When I first came to the U.S., I worked as an au pair caring for 4 amazing kids (ages 7, 5, 3, and 2). Since then, I’ve been working as a live-out nanny and currently look after three sweet babies 💛 I enjoy spending time with children of all ages—whether that’s playing outside , doing arts & crafts , reading stories , or creating fun little learning activities. My goal is always to make sure kids feel safe, happy, and loved, while also keeping things fun and engaging. 🏡 Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks like cooking 🍳, tidying up 🧹, organizing , or errands to make life easier for busy parents. I’m also a big animal lover (especially dogs 🐕), so if you have pets, I’ll be more than happy to care for them too! 🌟 Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, caring, and reliable. I always bring a positive attitude and treat each child as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and be a supportive, trustworthy part of your team 💕

Zelal is a trustworthy and accountable sitter. We’ve worked with her for over a year for regular date nights and one off coverage needs. She’s knowledgeable and kind, and my 3 year old always says she has fun. Zelal is engaged and very willing to take my daughter to the park, on walks, or suggest home based activities. Highly recommend!

Booked by 1 family in Mount Rainier, MD

Hi! My name is Jahiyyah. Ever since I was younger, I’ve always known that I loved being around children and working with them, which has lead me to where I am today. I’m currently in college, majoring in Early Childhood Education. I also work full time at a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool in DC, so I’m available on weekends and occasionally on weekday evenings. A few fun facts about me: I love reading, writing, anything arts and crafts related, and traveling. When babysitting, I love to bring different activities - depending on the kids’ ages - to keep them engaged (coloring books, watercolor paint, air dry clay, puzzles/board games, etc.) as well as walks around the neighborhood/to a local park for some fresh air. I’m also open to any other activities they’re interested in. I would love to build a consistent, lasting relationship with a group of families to sit for on date nights, special events, etc. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to connecting with your families!
