"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Milagro $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Milagro and I'm a Columbia University graduate working in the field of education. I'm bilingual -- Spanish and English. I have experience as a babysitter, summer nanny, homework helper, ESL Tutor, and SAT/AP tutor in Richmond, VA, NYC, and Washington DC. I love having the opportunity to really connect with the kids I take care of and being able to see them grow over time.
Jessica $25 per hour for 1 child
As a former educator who has worked with children ages 8 to 14 (and younger!), I bring a caring and professional touch to every family I work with. My teaching background means I genuinely understand how kids grow and learn, I know how to keep them engaged and having fun, and I stay calm and patient no matter what the day brings. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, which I love because it lets me connect with even more children and families in a meaningful way. I'm also a total animal lover! I have a cat at home and have happily looked after friends' pets many times, including some with special medical needs, so families with fur babies are very welcome. On top of childcare, I'm happy to help keep the household running smoothly too. Whether it's cooking a meal, tidying up, or getting things organized, I take real pride in leaving a home feeling a little better than I found it. I know how much it means to a busy family to have that extra support. Whether you need someone occasionally or a dependable go-to sitter you can count on regularly, I'd love to be that person for your family. Working with young, growing humans truly brings me joy and more than anything, I just love being a helping hand.

Hi !!! My name is Samara !! I am currently a student at the ILLUSTRIOUS Howard University double majoring in Education and Political Science. I am offering tutoring, childcare, and household assistance. I love kids. I grew up with 5 siblings (me being the oldest) which got me into babysitting. I have been taking care of children since I was 14 years old and enjoy every minute of it! My family has also ran a cleaning business over the years so I completely qualified to help with any household needs. Whether it’s cleaning, cooking, or small errands.

Colleen $15 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I just graduated nursing school from the University of South Caroline in December of 2022. I am living at home for a few months before I move down to Charleston, SC this spring to start a job on a cardiac floor at MUSC. I have worked with children of all ages and capabilities since I was in middle school. I have always loved caring for children, so I hope to one day work in a NICU or pediatric unit! I am fully vaccinated & boosted, and am happy to show proof. I have my own car and would be happy to drive your children to any activities!
