Hello! I am in my fourth year of teaching as a 1st grade teacher. I have nearly ten years of experience nannying/babysitting for children ages newborn-13 years old. I have always loved working with children-- I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's of teaching from the University of Virginia.
Hi! I'm a recent Georgetown grad staying in DC for the summer. I love to read, play sports, and enjoy hiking and the outdoors. I have three years of experience babysitting for kids ages 1-13 in the DC area. I also worked for 2 years as a camp counselor for ages 5-14. I love spending time with all kinds of kids, whether they are energetic and outdoorsy or they prefer to hang inside and read or color. My availability is super flexible this summer, and I am free most evenings and mornings! I also grew up caring for my dog, Lego, who recently just passed away. I'm really missing having a dog in my life, so would also love any opportunity to dog sit or dog walk! I am very responsible and reliable and, again, have very flexible hours this summer.
Hello! My name is Abigail and I am currently a full-time undergraduate student at American University. I will graduate in May 2026 with a degree in Justice and Law and a minor in Spanish language. I have experience working with children of all ages. I've worked as an au pair overseas with a child with autism and down syndrome. I've also been an au pair for an infant so I am comfortable with babies as well. I worked for some years at a martial arts school assisting children ages 4-17. I have tutored a class before and am comfortable with any school work assistance needed. I know CPR and was previously certified. And I am fluent in Spanish. As for pet care, I've had all sorts of animals my entire life and would love to watch any pet you have with the upmost care. I am comfortable watching dogs, cats, small rodents, fish, reptiles, etc. I love all animals! I am kind and patient and would love for you to consider me as your future caretaker! Please do not hesitate to reach out.
Hi! My name is Sophia, and I am a student at American University in NW Washington. In my free time, I love writing poetry, swimming, and baking. I have experience taking care of animals, as I have an adorable cat and bunny! I am new to taking care of children, but excited for this opportunity. I want to make your life easier for you. Hoping to meet you soon :)
Hi! I’m Aaj, a 20 year old junior currently studying at American University. I’m offering childcare services. I love being with children - my mother has run a preschool for the past 21 years, and I spent many years volunteering and interning with her, as a TA in classes and organizing Sports Days. I have also been involved in numerous charities that work with impoverished children in Nepal, where I used to run weekly activities that benefit early childhood development (reading/writing, arts and crafts, sports etc.). I have also completed an Early Childhood Montessori Education program, as a supplemental to my time at the preschool. I grew up with 5 dogs, and I love all sorts of pets!
