Hello, I am a 33 year old professional in the nonprofit sector. However, I have many years of experience working with kids. I have worked at YMCA afterschool programs, substitute teaching, as a professional, helped with remote learning, worked at summer camps as a counselor, and have facilitated college preparation workshops for children in grades 7-12. I have a Masters in Public Administration and a bachelors in Public Communication. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the city, being outside, running and hiking and trying new food! I work full-time during the week, so I am looking for some evenings and weekends.
Hi there! My name is Nada! I’ve graduated from GMU in May of 2021 with a B.S in Psychology. I’ve worked with an agency called College Nannies Sitters & Tutors for a little over a year and a half & babysat on my own through Urbansitter/Care.com for 4 years. I’ve worked with kids/babies ranging from newborn to 12 years old. I love to do just about anything when I’m caring for a child whether its drawing, running around and playing, reading books, learning, etc. All my life I’ve been athletic, so the running around comes super in handy! I have experience caring for 3 children at a time, but for the most part it’s been 2 children or 1 child that I care for at a time. Due to having so much experience, I know what each age range tends to like to do and how to really work with them, I’d like to say I mastered it! :)
Hello! I'm Gabriela! I've taken care of babies, kids and teenagers for more many years, all between the ages of 2 months old to 14 y/o. I have a degree in English Teaching; and back home (Mexico) I was a Spanish and English teacher in a primary school, high school and university for a few years. I consider myself a reliable, responsible, spontaneous, and emphatic person. I'd love to have the opportunity to talk with you to get to know each other better, and see if I have the chance to take care of your beautiful kid(s)! I'm fully vaccinated and always looking for the best way to stay healthy by following the covid prevention recommendations.
“Gabriela was wonderful. My wife was in town for a conference and brought our 12 year old daughter. The two days she was doing conference things, she hired Gabriela to take our daughter to see the sites in DC, and I guess the best review is that one day after my daughter returned home and I was saying goodnight she whispered to me "I already miss Gaby". They saw cool things that we didn't know about, had fun, rambled. Gabriella is a true good spirit, you can't go wrong.”
Hi everyone! My name is Britney and I’m a junior political science major at Howard University looking to babysit afterschool or during the weekends. I have over 10 years of experience with childcare and can provide references if needed. My schedule is pretty flexible because all my classes are in the morning and I plenty of free time during the weekend. I love engaging children in arts and crafts, reading stories together, and baking treats, making every moment a chance for learning and laughter. I can also assist with homework. Please message me if you have any questions or interested in having me as a sitter 🧸
Hi there! My name is Ebony, and I'm a newsletter editor/freelance writer. In my spare time, you'll find me at a museum or and reading in a park, weather permitting. I've worked with kids for over 10 years as a camp counselor, reading tutor, babysitter, and ESOL instructor. As a former improv performer, I'm always up for playing make-believe, singing and dancing! My experience is mostly with toddlers and school-aged children, but I have worked with infants as well. I'm very comfortable with animals, and have actually pet sit all over the country (via Trusted Housesitters). My schedule varies, but I am typically available for weekend/date-night care. I'd love to build a bond with a family and become their regular sitter. Thank you for your time and consideration!
“Ebony was very friendly and punctual We would definitely have her sit again”

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
