Hi! My name is Leevel, and I’m so excited to support families in my community. I’m originally from Denver, Colorado, and I’m currently a college student at The George Washington University, where I’m studying Political Science. I have several years of experience working with children in different settings. In 2024, I served as a Girls on the Run coach, mentoring elementary and middle school girls and creating a positive, confidence-building environment. This past summer, I worked at a summer camp, leading activities, supervising groups, and ensuring every child felt safe and engaged. Right now, I’m a tutor at an elementary school during the weekdays, working closely with students and adapting to different personalities, learning styles, and needs. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. I’d love to be a reliable and supportive part of your family’s routine!

“Leevel arrived early and was a wonderful help. Our two 5-year-olds loved spending the afternoon with her. She did a great job of keeping them engaged and also helping to encourage them to clean up one activity before moving on to the next. We will definitely hire her again.”

Hello Families! My name is Sara. I have both professional and personal experience in caring for children of all ages. I am CPR and AED certified. I am trilingual with fluency in English and Amharic, and limited working proficiency in Spanish. I also have previous K-5 tutoring experience and as a college student myself, I understand the value of education. I am very active and have no problem playing with little ones for long periods of time. I am open to offering homework assistance, teaching practical skills, taking children outside or to practice, helping within the house (cooking, laundry, errands, planning, light tidying,etc) and anything else you may need in between. I also have experience in pet care (dog-walking and cat-sitting). I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and supportive. It would be my pleasure and goal to help make your daily routine easier in any way I can.
