Hello, I am Denise Edwards and I was a professional Nanny in the DMV area for more than 15 years. I am currently seeking part time employment as a Nanny/babysitter, elderly care companion. I am a punctual, funloving, caring, reliable, individual with extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I believe my background and dedication make me an excellent fit for any position and I hopefully there will be someone who will give me serious consideration. I love children, I love taking care of people and I look forward to hearing from you. Additionally I am free for overnights or full weekends if a parent need it. I am also a trained chef so one can be assured of proper meals for the children in my care, even if it is simple as Mac n cheese. I will even prepare a meal for you the parents. I love what I do and I do what I love is my mantra. Sincerely, Denise PS: I am looking forward to some positive responses. I won't disappoint.

Booked by 1 family in Falls Church, VA

Hi! I'm a recent Georgetown grad staying in DC for the summer. I love to read, play sports, and enjoy hiking and the outdoors. I have three years of experience babysitting for kids ages 1-13 in the DC area. I also worked for 2 years as a camp counselor for ages 5-14. I love spending time with all kinds of kids, whether they are energetic and outdoorsy or they prefer to hang inside and read or color. My availability is super flexible this summer, and I am free most evenings and mornings! I also grew up caring for my dog, Lego, who recently just passed away. I'm really missing having a dog in my life, so would also love any opportunity to dog sit or dog walk! I am very responsible and reliable and, again, have very flexible hours this summer.

Katherine $20 per hour for 1 child

I've been babysitting for 8 years and have worked in education related childcare for the past 3 years, including with children diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and/or autism. I'm CPR and basic first aid certified for infants, children, and adults. Currently, I'm in my 2nd year at American University. I work with Teach For America tutoring 4th and 5th grade math (I'm always happy to help with homework, math or otherwise) and have worked in before school care since high school. In addition, I teach swim lessons at a local swim school and have been instructing for 2 years. I'm happy to work with kids of any age! I pride myself on empathetic problem solving and flexibility. I would describe myself as patient, energetic, and child-centered. I'm excited to meet your family and lend a hand!

"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!"
