Kiley $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Kiley, a 31 year old professional who works on the Hill in operations. I am from Tucson, AZ and spent the majority of my high school and college years babysitting for a couple of the same families consistently and also house sitting. I enjoy yoga and riding horses in my free time. I have two bachelor degrees and a master’s degree from Texas A&M. I am looking for some occasional babysitting/nannying jobs and/or house sitting. Happy to chat more!

Takara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, families! My name is Takara (‘Tuh-care-ruh’), and I'm a caring, responsible, and enthusiastic person who genuinely loves spending time with children and animals. I have several years of hands-on childcare experience, including helping raise my two young nephews from birth and serving as a student aide in a second-grade classroom for two years. I also spent approximately six years volunteering at a children's museum throughout my adolescence, where I had the opportunity to engage with children of different ages and backgrounds. Working with children has always brought me so much joy, and I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I'm also an animal lover and proud cat parent! In addition to caring for my own cat, I regularly walk and pet-sit my best friend's Yorkie, so I'm comfortable with the responsibilities and attention that come with caring for pets. Whether I'm looking after your little ones or your furry family members, I strive to provide the same love, patience, attentiveness, and care that I would give my own family. I'd love the opportunity to become someone your family can depend on and trust!

Flaminia $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced, energetic and responsible young adult woman. I love kids and have experience both in house babysitting 2 young girls over 5 years, as well as working in a performance training facility with the youth group of ages 3-15 years old. I have loved teaching young girls and boys to move their bodies safely & efficiently and know how to keep them busy. I’ve worked with both disabled, hyperactive, and the overly shy kids. I believe my experience leading large groups (10+ kids) of youth can make me a unique babysitter. Currently, I am a full time personal trainer based in DC and a holistic nutrition & health coach for my own wellness brand.. and I just miss working with kids!! Looking for a part time/ occasional gig to fill in my free time and flexible schedule (I’m also new to the area, so happy to see different neighborhoods and meet nice families!)

Shadeana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Shadeana ! I’m studying Early Childhood Education at the University of the District of Columbia. I’ve worked as an assistant teacher in daycare settings in DC and Maryland, and I also have experience working with school-age children in an after-school program. I’ve completed CPR, First Aid, and Basic Health and Safety training. I’m patient with kids who need a little time to warm up, and I like getting to know what each child enjoys. I’m happy to read together, play games, do crafts, or help with homework. I’ll follow your family’s routines and keep you updated on how things are going while you’re away.
