I also offer light housekeeping, meal prep, and a safe, engaging environment for all ages.
Hi families! My name is Mycala, and I am a passionate childcare provider with experience in early childhood education and working as a full-time nanny. I have cared for children of various ages and love creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and encouraged to explore. I enjoy planning hands-on activities like art, music, reading, and creative play while following each child’s interests and developmental needs. I believe children communicate and learn in many different ways, and I love being a caregiver who helps them feel confident, curious, and valued. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, with experience supporting daily routines, activities, meals, and the unique needs of each family. I would love the opportunity to provide your child with a caring and fun experience!
Hello! My name is Adreana and I a junior at Trinity University DC. I am currently looking for a flexible job that allows me to do what I love while also going to school! I am providing babysitting services as well as private education/tutoring. I have been doing both for about 4 years now and absolutely love it! I am currently a preschool teacher so I’m comfortable with working with more than one child and having a set schedule! I also don’t mind doing light cleaning and helping out in any way I can! During my time I will have set activities for the children, good habits never die and I love just having crafts and fun that work and mold the mind!
Hi, I'm Dina! With a degree in psychology and tons of hands-on experience being around kids, I know how to keep them entertained and learning at the same time. Whether it’s crafts, playtime, or helping with homework, I love creating a fun and safe environment for little ones. I’m responsible, patient, and full of energy. I’ve got a soft spot for pets too, so your furry family members are in good hands! I’m reliable, patient, and ready to bring some extra joy and support to your family’s routine. From keeping the house organized to meal prep, I’m here to make life easier for your family while bringing lots of smiles and laughter.
I’m a responsible and caring college student with experience working at a Montessori school with children ages 2–5. I was also a nanny for three boys (ages 10–13) for three years, helping with activities, homework, and daily routines.

"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."
Theresa M., parent
