Serena $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Serena and I'm currently sophomore at George Mason University. I am offering child care and pet care. I enjoy being a helping hand to others thanks to the many parents in my family that needed assistance whether that be with their children or watching over their household. Thanks to this, I have experience with infants, toddlers, and kids. I am capable of driving to and from activities and cooking meals. Also (being a pet owner myself), I have experience taking care of dogs of various breeds. I have a high comfort level with dogs that shed and dogs that are on the larger side.

Ella $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ella a reliable, patient, and caring babysitter with years of hands-on experience. As the oldest sibling, I naturally stepped into a leadership role early on, helping with homework, meals, routines, and keeping the house running smoothly. I’ve also worked in elementary schools providing after-school support, supervising activities, organizing games, and helping students stay engaged and safe. I’m great with children of all ages and bring a calm, positive energy to every home. I can help with homework, creative play, bedtime routines, simple meal prep, and keeping kids entertained without screens. I’m also happy to help with light chores, such as tidying, dishes, laundry, and basic household organization — whatever makes your day a little easier. In addition to childcare, I offer pet sitting and pet care, including feeding, walks, litter changes, and keeping your pets comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even exotic pets, so your animals will be in safe hands too.

"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!"
