Fatou $20 per hour for 1 child

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!😊

Booked by 1 family in Falls Church, VA

Hi, my name is Amy and I’m looking forward to helping your family out with childcare :) I am a recent Physician Assistant graduate and am looking for evening/ weekend opportunities. My mom had a home daycare so I’ve been around infants and children of all age practically my entire life! Prior to PA school, I was also babysitting for a family and helped with animal care as well as house sitting. I am CPR certified and am also a native Spanish speaker. I am comfortable with tasks including meal prepping, homework, potty training, and providing safe and age appropriate activities for your kiddo. Please let me know if you’d like to connect :)

Annie $18 per hour for 1 child

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!

Achal $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am currently a working professional in the DMV area, but grew up in DFW. I have a degree in international business, and have worked with people from all backgrounds. I would babysit occasionally in high school and college over the years in between and after classes, but am hoping to connect with families when they are in need of someone to help out! I also love to cook and read, so if you are looking for someone to help out with dinners or reading to kids, please reach out! Thanks!
