Hi! I’m Sophie. I am originally from Utah but moved here about 3 months ago. I graduated from BYU in Sociology with a minor in Family Studies and I am working on a Master’s Degree in school counseling. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs to make a little extra money for school. I have done Stop The Bleed and CPR training within about the last year and I nannied 3 children under 7 for a summer 3 days a week. I also teach a class of about six 7-8 year olds once a week at church and have nieces and nephews I babysit occasionally. I have a flexible schedule in the hours outside of my normal job (a 9-5 sometimes 6) and I am happy to help with whatever including cleaning, cooking, laundry, prepping lunches, etc. I love doing fun activities like crafts, baking, or being outside. I grew up playing tennis and softball but am enjoying playing pickleball and doing yoga these days.
Hey! My name is Sita, I am a current sophomore at George Washington University majoring in Human Services and Social Justice. I am offering babysitting services, senior care, and household assistance. I love children, I have been tutoring and watching toddlers and school aged children since I was 13. I loved crafting with them, reading to them, and can handle stressful situations with calmness and empathy. (If you have a teenager that needs help with college applications, I would love to help). I am CPR certified and extremely attentive to the needs of children because of my studies at school. I volunteer 120 hours per semester with children and seniors and am accustomed to such environments. I am super flexible and can work with you to fit the needs of your family! :)
I'm a dedicated cat-sitter with experience following diligent instructions, taking care of pets with various needs (medical, social, etc) and showering them with love when their families need someone to look after them!

Hi, my name is Aicha. I’m 21 years old and I just graduated from Montgomery College. I fluently speak French and English. I love babysitting because I enjoy making kids smile and keeping them happy. I've been a babysitter for a few years now and I absolutely love it. I'm patient, creative, and always make sure kids are safe and having fun. I can't wait to meet your family and help out.

"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."
