My name is Sofia! I am from the Dominican Republic but I am currently studying in the George Washington University here in DC! I am 19 years old and have had a lot of prior expirience caring for kids. I was a summer camp counselor for 3 years, working either kids from ages 2-12 as well as a babysitter here in DC my past freshman year of college! Additionally I have two nephews which I regularly take care of when I am back home. I consider myself very energetic and kind and some usually say I have a special way with kids. I really enjoy spending my time taking care of children as they are fun and creative. I am very loving and organized and have the ability to speak spanish and english. Lastly, I am CPR certified by the American Heart Association and am very responsible!
Hi! My name is Graisen. I'm currently a doctoral student in the field of Occupational Therapy. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, and it's one of the reasons I chose my career. In addition to babysitting experience with children of different ages, I'm the oldest sibling and cousin in my family, so I've naturally grown up helping care for younger children. I've also helped care for my aunt with Down syndrome, which has taught me patience, compassion, adaptability, and the importance of meeting people where they are. These experiences have shaped the caregiver I am today. I'm responsible, dependable, patient, and creative. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Whether it's helping with homework, planning activities, preparing meals, sticking to routines, or simply being someone they can trust, I always strive to provide attentive and compassionate care. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, pet care, and other household tasks to make life a little easier for busy families. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your loved ones, and I would be honored to provide reliable, thoughtful care for your family.
I'm just a really cool guy. I'm also short of the 150 character minimum for this blob, so I guess I'll just keep typing random stuff until I reach th
“Took great care of my dog!”
I'm a middle school teacher in the Georgetown neighborhood and living in Courthouse. I can also help with tutoring and have 5 years of experience as a math tutor at the middle school level. Being a teacher, I'm CPR certified. I've been a summer camp counselor and babysitter for over 10 years. Outside the classroom, I love spending time outdoors, baking and volunteering.
“Renee was absolutely wonderful. We were in town for the weekend and were a little nervous about finding a reliable sitter for our kids in a new city. Renee cared for my kids two nights in a row, and they had so much fun playing games all evening that they did not want her to leave! We felt very comfortable leaving the kids in her care, as she is very responsible and professional, and has a natural rapport with kids. If we lived in DC, I would hire her regularly!”

"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!"
