Find an emergency babysitter in Potomac, MD

Hi! I’m Anna, a responsible, kind-hearted caregiver with a deep love for children, animals, and creating a nurturing, engaging environment. Originally from Ukraine, I moved to the U.S. in my early twenties and have over a decade of professional experience in finance. Recently, I decided to take a meaningful break to focus on personal growth—and return to my roots in caregiving. From a young age, I helped raise my younger cousins and babysat children of all ages, even while working as a lifeguard during the summers. I believe in creating a safe, loving space where children can feel heard, supported, and encouraged to grow. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, helping with homework, or maintaining routines, I’m attentive to each child’s unique needs. I’m also a lifelong animal lover—I grew up with two Rottweilers who were like family—and currently care for a cat and a chinchilla of my own. Pets always warm up to me, and I’m happy to assist with their care too! I’m available to help with school pickups, light housekeeping, meal prep, and whatever else helps your day run smoothly. I’m calm, patient, trustworthy, and committed to being a reliable support for your family. Thank you for considering me—I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help! Warmly, Anna

Hello! My name is Mari and I am graduating from American University this May. I am 22 years old and am originally from York, PA but live full-time in D.C. I currently work for an environmental non-profit as an intern, and am looking for summer opportunities with families here in the DMV. I have an extensive history of service-oriented positions. I formally used a nannying app called QuadJobs in which I booked and have working relationships with multiple families (unfortunately the app has since shut down). I am the oldest sister in my household as well as having an older brother, so I am aware of sibling relationships and responsibility. I am diligent and committed, having worked for Starbucks for 3 years while being a full-time student with multiple other jobs and commitments. I also am an equestrian-- I have extensive history with horses and other animals, making me very capable of caring for any sort of family pet! I have my own car here, meaning I am flexible with travel as well as quick with transportation needs. After my graduation in May, I plan on staying within the District to apply to jobs in the environmental sector before attending graduate school after a year or so. Happy to meet you!

Hi! I’m a second grade teacher in the MCPS district with a passion for working with children. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 12 years as a barber, where I built strong connections with kids and families. I’ve also been babysitting since my early teenage years, so caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. I’m happy to help with homework, plan creative activities, go on nature walks, drive to and from extracurriculars, assist with housekeeping, and, of course, be a little silly and have fun! I am seeking summer employment, but until then, I’m available on weeknights and weekends, and I’m also open to last-minute care when you need an extra hand.
