Chloe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chloe, and I’m an incoming medical student with a passion for working with children. I currently work at a fertility clinic and am looking for part-time opportunities before starting medical school this August. I’m Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and have experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also been tutoring for many years and am happy to help with homework, studying, and academic support. In addition, I previously worked at a museum of science, where I taught science concepts to children ages 5 and under! I love to cook and am completely comfortable preparing meals, whether it’s simple snacks or full dinners. (Bonus! I played college lacrosse and have coached on the side and if any of your kids are interested in lacrosse, I would be happy to play with them and coach!) I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to connect and help care for your little ones!

Sydney $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am 25 years old. Here’s a little bit about me as you’re considering me as a potential caretaker for your family. I graduated top of my class from the University of Virginia in 2022, with a degree in marketing and business analytics. I am the oldest of 4 children and have been babysitting since I was 14 years old. I’ve cared for children of all ages and for families with multiple children and pets. In addition to babysitting, I am more than happy to help out in other ways such as grocery shopping, cooking, and house tidying. I worked as a housekeeper on a luxury guest ranch for a summer so I have lots of experience caring for a space. In my free time I love to cook, take yoga classes, read, and try new restaurants in the city. Please reach out with any other questions :)

"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!"
