Alexis $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Lexi ! I am a current Howard University student who loves kids. I am super spontaneous and creative. I have lived in the Silver Spring area all my life and have babysat a numerous amount of kids in my neighborhood. I’m good with pets too as I also walk dogs. I am personable and would love to get to know you and your family. I am great with all ages and can’t wait to give you a little bit of freedom. Leaving your kids with a stranger can be intimidating so feel free to contact me so we can set up a phone call/ FaceTime and if need be a in-person meeting. This really helps you get a feel for me and can help put you at easy. Can’t wait to meet you soon!

Achal $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am currently a working professional in the DMV area, but grew up in DFW. I have a degree in international business, and have worked with people from all backgrounds. I would babysit occasionally in high school and college over the years in between and after classes, but am hoping to connect with families when they are in need of someone to help out! I also love to cook and read, so if you are looking for someone to help out with dinners or reading to kids, please reach out! Thanks!
