Hili $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Hili, a graduate student with a passion for working with kids. When I’m not buried in textbooks, you’ll find me enjoying time with little ones, whether it’s helping with homework or just having a fun time together. I have experience tutoring math to a 4th grader, so I know how to make learning feel like a breeze—and a little bit of fun too! I'm looking forward to bringing my energy and care to your family!

Joselyn $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a pediatric nurse with nearly 2 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and safety-focused in any situation, and I genuinely love working with kids both in and outside of the hospital setting! I bring a fun, patient, and nurturing energy to babysitting while also having strong clinical knowledge—so you can feel confident your child is in capable hands. I’m comfortable with routines, meal prep, homework help, bedtime, and caring for children with varying needs. Whether you’re looking for occasional help or a consistent sitter, I aim to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for your child every time. I’d love to support your family!

Raya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Raya, and I recently moved from Beirut, Lebanon, to Washington, DC, to pursue my undergraduate studies at Georgetown University, where I’m a first-year student. Growing up in a big family, I’ve had extensive experience babysitting children of all ages. I can also prepare healthy meals for your kids since I worked at a “healthy living” restaurant for 2 summers! I am trilingual, speaking English, French, and Arabic fluently, which allows me to communicate with a diverse range of families. I’m also in training to become an EMT, learning to respond to emergency medical situations such as choking, allergic reactions, and more, so safety is always a priority for me. I would love to bring my energy, responsibility, and care to your family!

Mary Elizabeth $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Mary Elizabeth, and I am a recent college graduate who just moved to Washington, DC. I grew up babysitting for families in my church and was a camp counselor for many years. I also grew up on a farm taking care of dogs, cats, and horses! I am a dependable and responsible person with great attention to detail. I have experience with all ages. I was a cross country and track runner in college, so I love being active and I have plenty of energy to play with kiddos! I have experience tutoring as well, and would love to help out with homework.

Ella $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ella and I am currently a freshman on the pre-med track at Georgetown University. I am offering childcare and light housekeeping services. I’ve worked as a babysitter on and off for about a year now back home in Los Angeles, but am looking for a more long term part time job. I have the most experience with kids aged 3-11, however, would love the opportunity to work with any age group! I typically play outdoors with kids, read to them, help with homework, or take them to the park. I also love dogs and am comfortable around them. I do not have a car. I can also work as a household assistant as needed with cleaning and tidying up.
