Paula $25 per hour for 1 child

With over 12 years of professional childcare experience, I have supported children from infancy through adolescence by creating safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environments. My approach blends structure, compassion, and intentional teaching, ensuring children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to grow. In addition to hands-on childcare, I serve as a positive role model, consistently demonstrating emotional regulation, patience, communication skills, and respect. I help children develop strong routines, social skills, independence, and confidence through age-appropriate activities and consistent guidance. My background as a bilingual teaching assistant, combined with training including 40-hour RBT coursework and CPR/First Aid, allows me to support children with varying needs, learning styles, and temperaments. I model kindness, empathy, responsibility, and problem-solving while maintaining clear expectations that promote healthy development. Overall, I provide a blend of gentle leadership, educational support, and emotional stability, helping children feel valued, capable, and inspired to be their best selves. I have also served as a household manager for 6 years. As part of my responsibilities I managed daily operations, overseeing household staff (cleaning services, contractors, maintenance workers), and signing relevant documents while keeping a copy for record documentation. In addition, handled grocery shopping and inventory; meal planning/preparation when needed based on preferences and specific requests. Furthermore, I kept household supplies inventory (cleaning, office, laundry, tools and equipment, paper and waste products, etc). Ensured to drop off & pick up packages; as well as the drop off and and pick up of dry clean clothes. Finally, I was responsible for scheduling car cleaning services, filling up the tank whenever needed and taking the vehicle to the dealership, or preferred service center for maintenance.

Sivahle $25 per hour for 1 child

Nice to meet you! After receiving my Bachelor's in Psychology with a specialization in Child Development, I moved back to the DC area to be closer to family. Between my undergrad work programs and my current job, I've been working in a teaching capacity with children for about 6 years now. Currently, I'm employed full time as a associate teacher at a DC preschool. This experience provides me with lots of benefits that I then get to share with my babysitting families! Some of these benefits include child CPR certification, easy meal times (I've supported all sorts of kids with different dietary and motor needs), comfort with managing siblings, and a willingness to embrace the toughest bedtime routines. I look forward to working with your family!

Nancy $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hello, I am Nancy. I am currently student at montgomery college. I’ve always loved being around kids—it’s something that comes naturally to me. With many nephews and nieces, I’ve spent years helping take care of them, and it’s given me so much joy and experience. Whether it’s playing games, telling stories, or just making them laugh, I love creating a space where kids feel happy and cared for. What I enjoy most is how unique every child is. They each have their own personality, and it’s so rewarding to connect with them and see them grow. Taking care of kids has taught me to be patient, creative, and understanding, which are qualities I bring to every family I work with. For me, childcare isn’t just a responsibility—it’s something I’m passionate about and genuinely enjoy doing.
