Hello! My name is CJ, and I am a college student in Washington, DC, Junior, at The Catholic University of America.

I have nearly five years of experience. Please reach out with any questions or concerns. *please note that my posted hours are not necessarily the most accurate… I am a college student and my schedule is always changing* - CPR Certified - $25/hr + $5 per additional child.
Hello new friends and families, My name is Juli and I have over 25 years experience assisting children, and taking care of pets. I worked as an assistant in Special education, as well as in the Kindergarten classroom. I am kind, honest, caring, playful and energetic. My cat Baytobin is a true family member, who I tend to spoil ...whenever I get the chance. I enjoy taking care of medium sized dogs and cats of all sizes. :) I hope you will consider me and know that I work hard, and enjoy being a helper.
Impacting children positively is what I love to do. With five years of experience caring for children aged 0-12+, I bring a calm and patient, yet energetic and fun, approach to childcare. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to help children thrive. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. l provide regular updates to parents via text or phone call, and I always give a breakdown of the day at pickup. I have a car, l'm comfortable with pets, and I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. Watching children learn and grow brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your child's development.

"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!"
