"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."

Hannah $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Hannah. I'm a young professional working in the non-profit legal space, and am currently saving up to go to law school. I'm offering child care and pet care services. I've been baby-sitting since I was 15 years old, and have cared for kids of all ages! I was also a camp counselor for 6 years, and primarily worked with kids ages 6-10. I have experience doing pickup/drop-off from school, crafts, tutoring, preparing meals, helping with potty-training, and much more. I love reading books, doing art projects, and encouraging imaginative play with the kids that I care for.
Bex $20 per hour for 1 child
I'm a graduate student and long-time neighborhood babysitter, house-sitter, and dog/cat-sitter! I grew up around a big family with lots of kids, often taking care of the youngest ones over summer breaks, and, in college, became a reliable source for babysitting and animal care in my community! I am also a Teach For America Fellow, tutoring elementary and middle school aged students. I have a reliable car, and am a jack of all trades when it comes to meeting your family's needs!

Annie $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm originally from Atlanta and have been living in DC for the past two years while attending law school. Before moving here, I was a full-time nanny for three years, caring for two wonderful kids between the ages of 3 and 6. I also have experience babysitting children of all ages, from infants to teens. I love spending time reading, crafting, and doing puzzles with kids—and I'm always happy to help with furry family members too! I have a great eye for organization and enjoy tidying up as I go. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!
Hillary $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Hillary, I am a current senior in high school. I am offering child care. I work with the elderly right now but I also enjoy working with kids. As a high school student with a half day schedule, the rest of my day was spent at an elementary school as an intern. When it comes to kids I enjoy doing arts and crafts and also active activities they would like doing. I could provide homework help if needed. Growing up I was left with the responsibility of watching my cousins whether it was for the weekend or the day. I enjoy working and looking after kids and would like to expand.
