Paige $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Paige. As the youngest of five, I grew up surrounded by older siblings who shaped me into someone patient, adaptable, and easy to connect with. Being part of a big family made me naturally comfortable around children and helped me understand different personalities and family dynamics. I’ve also played a big role in raising my nephew since he was a baby (he’s 5 now). We have a very close bond, and caring for him taught me how to keep kids engaged, supported, and on a healthy routine. I’m thoughtful, communicative, and always make sure children feel safe, heard, and comfortable. Parents can expect consistent updates and clear communication from me. I can prepare meals, keep things organized, help with bedtime routines, and assist with homework. I’m also a mentor at my job, so guiding and supporting others especially kids comes naturally to me. I’m great with pets as well; I’ve had four dogs and I’m very comfortable around animals. I’m available evenings and weekends, and I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and someone families can trust.

Leila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Leila, I'm from Argentina, I'm 29 years old and I'm a kindergarten teacher! I have seven years of experience taking care of kids (five years in Argentina and two years in the United States) mostly infants and toddlers. I consider myself a responsible, patient, respectful and tidy person. Also I have some references from a couple of families and from my church's leader (I was a volunteer every Sunday at my church, I was in babies room, taking care of them while their parents attend the service) As for my childcare skills, it's very important to me that the child feels safe and secure in an organized environment. I also believe in providing a daily routine, as this is crucial for young children. I hope to hear from you soon☺️

Aurelia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! my name is Aurelia, I'm currently a student at Cambridge University and have lived abroad in both England and Germany for the past three years, but I was raised in Bethesda, Maryland, where I also completed high school—so I'm very familiar with the area! I have my own transportation, a clean record, and a strong background working with children. I spent 3 years coaching kids with autism on my weekends through the ACEing Autism tennis program and served as an assistant teacher, tutoring children with learning disabilities during my junior and senior years of high school. I've babysat on and off throughout my life, caring for children ages 3 to 10. I'm reliable, experienced, and passionate about creating a safe, fun environment for kids!
