Kamora $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Kamora! I’m a rising junior at Lincoln University of Pennsylvania with experience working with children as a gymnastics coach at The Little Gym. I’m patient, energetic, and reliable, and I love helping kids learn, play, and feel safe. I have experience working with children ages 3–12, and I’m comfortable managing routines, keeping kids engaged with fun and age appropriate activities, and creating a positive, structured environment. Safety is always my top priority, and I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I also enjoy active play, games, and helping kids stay engaged in a fun and supportive way. I’m available throughout the summer and open to both occasional babysitting and more consistent weekly schedules. I can also assist with light housekeeping, simple meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized space.

Hello! My name is Mary Elizabeth, and I am a recent college graduate who just moved to Washington, DC. I grew up babysitting for families in my church and was a camp counselor for many years. I also grew up on a farm taking care of dogs, cats, and horses! I am a dependable and responsible person with great attention to detail. I have experience with all ages. I was a cross country and track runner in college, so I love being active and I have plenty of energy to play with kiddos!

Bet $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Betsabe, but everyone calls me Bet 🙂 I'm a loving, patient, and responsible caregiver. I might be a little shy with adults at first, but I'm completely silly and fun with children! I have 10 years of extensive childcare experience, including 1 year of professional caregiving here in the USA. My experience spans all age groups, from newborns to teenagers. My primary language is Spanish, so I'm happy to help children practice their Spanish language skills! Also, one of my personal goals is to improve my English, which makes me even more motivated to communicate clearly and engage. I truly enjoy making little friends and creating warm and loving connections with children. I focus on providing a safe, nurturing, and happy environment where children feel supported, cared for, and comfortable being themselves. I use my diverse skills in Photography, Arts and Crafts, Cooking, Sports (Running, Cycling, Soccer, Swimming), and Dance to encourage creativity, healthy habits, and fun learning in every interaction. I am also happy to provide homework assistance and tutoring. I have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record for safe transportation, if needed. I’m also a huge animal lover and am happy to help care for family pets (dogs, cats, etc.) as needed. Professional Credentials: • Red Cross - Advanced Child Care Training Course Certificate. • First Aid and CPR Certified. • Childcare Accident Prevention Promoter.
