Erika $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Mount Rainier, MD

Hi! I'm a recent Georgetown grad staying in DC for the summer. I love to read, play sports, and enjoy hiking and the outdoors. I have three years of experience babysitting for kids ages 1-13 in the DC area. I also worked for 2 years as a camp counselor for ages 5-14. I love spending time with all kinds of kids, whether they are energetic and outdoorsy or they prefer to hang inside and read or color. My availability is super flexible this summer, and I am free most evenings and mornings! I also grew up caring for my dog, Lego, who recently just passed away. I'm really missing having a dog in my life, so would also love any opportunity to dog sit or dog walk! I am very responsible and reliable and, again, have very flexible hours this summer.

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.

Hi! My name is Danielle and I'm an elementary teacher assistant for Arlington Public Schools. I am offering child care during after school hours and weekends. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for children preschool-aged and older since middle school! I also have a few years of experience with infants and toddlers, and have worked in several childcare centers. I have my own car, am First Aid and CPR certified, and happy to share proof of my COVID vaccinations and background check clearance. Pricing is negotiable :)

Dani was great with the kids and we will definitely work with her again and will recommend here to others.
