Hi !!! My name is Samara !! I am currently a student at the ILLUSTRIOUS Howard University double majoring in Education and Political Science. I am offering tutoring, childcare, and household assistance. I love kids. I grew up with 5 siblings (me being the oldest) which got me into babysitting. I have been taking care of children since I was 14 years old and enjoy every minute of it! My family has also ran a cleaning business over the years so I completely qualified to help with any household needs. Whether it’s cleaning, cooking, or small errands.
I have many years of experience babysitting and caring for children of all ages. I've worked as a babysitter throughout high school and worked part-time as a daycare teaching assistant during college. I'm very enthusiastic, kind and reliable. I can help with light housekeeping.
Hey there! My name is Jalen but everyone calls me Jaee! I am originally from Brooklyn, NY. I went to Valdosta State University for my Bachelors in Communications and PR. Afterwards, I attended University of Maryland where I obtained my Masters of Business Adminstration. I have worked within the Mental Health field as the Outreach Director, Quality Assurance, and worked one on one with children's mental health by conducting assessments and also a case manager for children ranging from the ages of 2-18. I have also been a caregiver for seniors, and children, and pets. Sometimes all at the same time under one roof! I currently work as an elementary teacher. Working hand and hand with children in our special education realm of the school. Specifically with 1st and 4th grade. However, I check in on all grade levels. I enjoy working with kids they keep me young! I also believe that it is so important to pour into children as they are our future! I look forward to meeting you and your lovely children and family! Best, Jaee!
As a former educator who has worked with children ages 8 to 14 (and younger!), I bring a caring and professional touch to every family I work with. My teaching background means I genuinely understand how kids grow and learn, I know how to keep them engaged and having fun, and I stay calm and patient no matter what the day brings. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, which I love because it lets me connect with even more children and families in a meaningful way. I'm also a total animal lover! I have a cat at home and have happily looked after friends' pets many times, including some with special medical needs, so families with fur babies are very welcome. On top of childcare, I'm happy to help keep the household running smoothly too. Whether it's cooking a meal, tidying up, or getting things organized, I take real pride in leaving a home feeling a little better than I found it. I know how much it means to a busy family to have that extra support. Whether you need someone occasionally or a dependable go-to sitter you can count on regularly, I'd love to be that person for your family. Working with young, growing humans truly brings me joy and more than anything, I just love being a helping hand.
Hi! My name is Sophia, and I am a student at American University in NW Washington. In my free time, I love writing poetry, swimming, and baking. I have experience taking care of animals, as I have an adorable cat and bunny! I am new to taking care of children, but excited for this opportunity. I want to make your life easier for you. Hoping to meet you soon :)

"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!"
