Hello! I’m a former Early Childhood Educator looking for part-time work as a childcare provider! I am passionate about child development and providing children with the very best care on every level. I don’t just provide basic care and safety but strive to create the best environment to nurture a child’s body, mind, and emotional wellbeing! I have provided care through daycares and as a private childcare provider and nanny for kids from infancy to school age. I would love to hear from you!

Aida $22 per hour for 1 child

I have a lot of experience working with kids. I have been a gymnastics coach for the last four years working with infants all the way to teenagers. As a coach, my responsibilities have included running both classes, private lessons and summer camps. Classes and private lessons have really taught me how to most effectively communicate with kids, whereas working at the summer camps has allowed me to tap into my creativity, coming up with games and crafts that kids actually enjoy. I have always babysat on the side in addition to coaching, so I am also very familiar with any household tasks that might be expected of me- bedtime, making dinners, etc! If you have pets, I am happy to look after them as well. I grew up with two dogs and have a mini dachshund myself now- I love animals! I am very adaptable to your families needs and always communicate to the best of my abilities. Additionally, I am CPR and first aid certified!

Hi, I’m Virginia, and I work from home as an HR project manager with my own beagle-Bassett hound as a steady coworker. He’s almost 6 years old (DOB 09/2020) and playful, chill, spunky. My weekly schedule is fairly predictable and flexible so I’m looking forward to being able to help care for your dog, too!

“Virginia is the best! She is so caring and kind with our Cavapoo, Mochi, and gives us complete peace of mind knowing our pup is in such loving and capable hands. We’re so grateful for her!”

Delfina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Delfina and I’m 26 years old. I’m from Argentina and love teaching Spanish to kids! I’m about to start studying Early childhood development and looking to fill up some of my free hours between classes and my current part time nanny position. I have more than 7 years of experience taking care of kids of all ages -infants till teens. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I have my own car -clean driving record- and I’m willing to drive kids places if needed. I love spending time outside, going to the local library and doing fun things while babysitting! I’m okay with pets in the house and wouldn’t mind helping out with light household tasks if needed. If you think we can be a good match don’t doubt reaching out. Thank you!

Amy $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Amy, and I’ve been babysitting since high school. Working with kids has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I graduated from the University of Virginia, where I majored in Psychology and Spanish, and some of my favorite courses focused on infant and child development. I currently work for a school district, primarily with elementary school children, and also have experience as a medical assistant, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and organized while caring for others. I plan on returning to graduate school and am particularly interested in occupational therapy, as I’m passionate about helping children grow and thrive. Having a younger sister with a disability taught me patience, empathy, and how to connect with children of all abilities. I’m COVID vaccinated and comfortable helping with household tasks, meals, homework, and pets, and I’m very hands-on and attentive with kids. I’m available most evenings and weekends and enjoy building meaningful, lasting connections with children and their families.

"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!"
