Hi! I'm originally from Atlanta and have been living in DC for the past two years while attending law school. Before moving here, I was a full-time nanny for three years, caring for two wonderful kids between the ages of 3 and 6. I also have experience babysitting children of all ages, from infants to teens. I love spending time reading, crafting, and doing puzzles with kids—and I'm always happy to help with furry family members too! I have a great eye for organization and enjoy tidying up as I go. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!
Hi! My name is Jahiyyah. Ever since I was younger, I’ve always known that I loved being around children and working with them, which has lead me to where I am today. I’m currently in college, majoring in Early Childhood Education. I also work full time at a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool in DC, so I’m available on weekends and occasionally on weekday evenings. A few fun facts about me: I love reading, writing, anything arts and crafts related, and traveling. When babysitting, I love to bring different activities - depending on the kids’ ages - to keep them engaged (coloring books, watercolor paint, air dry clay, puzzles/board games, etc.) as well as walks around the neighborhood/to a local park for some fresh air. I’m also open to any other activities they’re interested in. I would love to build a consistent, lasting relationship with a group of families to sit for on date nights, special events, etc. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to connecting with your families!
I am a caring and responsible nanny with two years of experience providing a safe and fun environment for children I have a calm and patient nature, ensuring kids feel comfortable and supported all times. I enjoy cooking, painting and engaging in outdoors sports to keep kids active and entertained.
“Estefany is so wonderful! She has watched our 9 month old multiple times and is engaging and kind. She responds quickly and is punctual. We would definitely recommend her!”
Hi! I’m Fatou, a Howard University student majoring in Psychology and double minoring in Biology and Maternal and Child Health with dreams of becoming a travel midwife. I’m experienced and comfortable working with children of all ages—from infants and toddlers to older kids. My background includes leading activities as an elementary summer camp program leader as well as tutoring and mentoring middle and high schoolers here in DC. I’m patient, super reliable, and always happy to help with homework, creative play, or any housework that needs to be done. I’m also a huge animal lover (I have a cat named Henry!) and would love to bring my energy and experience to help your family!😊
Hi everyone! My name is Tinbit, and I’m currently offering babysitting and childcare services in the area 🤍 I have over 3 years of experience working as a special needs caregiver in Ethiopia, where I provided dedicated, patient, and personalized care to children. This experience has shaped me to be extremely attentive, understanding, and compassionate in how I care for every child. I also currently serve as a Sunday school teacher (8 months - Present), where I guide and care for children in a structured and supportive environment. In addition, I’ve worked in fast-paced settings assisting with large events, which strengthened my responsibility and organization. I grew up in a large family and attended an international school, so I’m very comfortable with children from all backgrounds and personalities. I truly love being around kids, their honesty, joy, and the way they find happiness in the smallest things is something I deeply value. I’m nurturing, uplifting, and also firm when needed, creating a balanced and positive environment. I strongly believe that childhood is one of the most important stages of life, and I aim to be a trustworthy and positive presence in every child’s life. I am reliable, patient, and committed to making both children and parents feel safe and supported. If you’re looking for a babysitter or nanny, feel free to message me—I would love to connect! 🤍

"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!"
