Hi! I’m a senior year nursing major at JMU with plans to join the Navy once I graduate. I’m home for the summer and I’m looking for babysitting/nannying jobs to occupy my time. I have been babysitting/nannying for the past 8 years and I have experiences with kids ranging from 1 month old to 12 years old. I am CPR/BLS certified. I’m a big dog person and I’d be happy to watch them too. I love kids, enjoy being active/going outside, and I LOVE cooking and baking!
Hi there! I’m Yanis, a Cornell grad and current Georgetown Law student offering child care and household help. I’m the oldest of 12 cousins, so babysitting has been part of my life since childhood, and I’ve been babysitting for friends and family ever since. I’ve also tutored pre-K through high schoolers and taught Sunday school, always mixing in creative approaches like drawing, board games on Greek mythology, and pillow-fort adventures. I’m tidy, comfortable cooking and prepping snacks and meals, happy to accommodate dietary preferences, and totally comfortable with cats and dogs too!
Hi everyone! My name is Tinbit, and I’m currently offering babysitting and childcare services in the area 🤍 I have over 3 years of experience working as a special needs caregiver in Ethiopia, where I provided dedicated, patient, and personalized care to children. This experience has shaped me to be extremely attentive, understanding, and compassionate in how I care for every child. I also currently serve as a Sunday school teacher (8 months - Present), where I guide and care for children in a structured and supportive environment. In addition, I’ve worked in fast-paced settings assisting with large events, which strengthened my responsibility and organization. I grew up in a large family and attended an international school, so I’m very comfortable with children from all backgrounds and personalities. I truly love being around kids, their honesty, joy, and the way they find happiness in the smallest things is something I deeply value. I’m nurturing, uplifting, and also firm when needed, creating a balanced and positive environment. I strongly believe that childhood is one of the most important stages of life, and I aim to be a trustworthy and positive presence in every child’s life. I am reliable, patient, and committed to making both children and parents feel safe and supported. If you’re looking for a babysitter or nanny, feel free to message me—I would love to connect! 🤍
Hi! My name is Ada and I'm a junior at the University of Virginia. I am offering childcare and household services. I have helped take care of my two younger brothers and four younger cousins since they were born. I love babysitting and I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (in addition to those I'm related to!) since I was about 13. I enjoy doing arts and crafts with children and playing games (both indoor and outdoor). I have had several jobs tutoring children in reading, writing, math, and French, through Philly Reading Coaches, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, and Teach for America. I'm happy to do any tutoring or homework help. Additionally, in high school, I worked at a summer camp for numerous years and I have experience teaching kids theater, dance, and various sports. In terms of household services, I am incredibly organized and I would be happy to help with organization, cleaning, cooking simple meals, laundry, and any other general tidying up. Thanks so much!
