After rescuing, fostering & volunteering with animals in Charlotte NC, I immediately knew the next step was to open a pet care service business once I moved to Washington DC. I am the business owner. See Fairy Tails, LLC for Yelp reviews.

Imee $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Imee. I'm caring, patient, and reliable person who truly enjoys being around children. I come from a very family-oriented background and have experience caring for kids through family care, including my nieces and nephews. I'm happy to offer childcare and household services, and i enjoy helping families keep things running smoothly. I can assist with light household tasks such as tidying up, laundry, organizing, and simple meal preparation, in addition to caring for your child. When caring for children, I love engaging them in creative and calm activities such as painting, drawing, simple arts and gentle play. I believe these activities help children feel relaxed, happy and supported. I'm currently looking for a part-time, weekday-only position (no weekends) and would love the opportunity support your family for a few hours a day.

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!

Ellen $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there!! My name is Ellen, I am a Senior at Howard University in D.C. As a college student, I understand the in’s and outs of multitasking. I love to help out busy parents and make their lives easier. I come from a large family and am well acquainted with the aspects of babysitting as I have been sitting for a very long time. I have no problem helping out with meals/meal prep for the week, cleaning, running errands, planning activities for the kids, and getting them where they need to be for the day. I am very patient and always find fun things to do with the kids I babysit, while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable at all times. My main goal is to alleviate the stress of working parents whom already have a lot on their plates. I am willing to help with whatever needs need to be be met. See you soon!!
