Hi, my name is Aina and I am a third year at George Washington University. I am currently studying abroad in Colombia and will be back in DC mid January. I am normally looking for occasional babysitting opportunities with children ranging from 2-12 years old. When it comes to child care I have been babysitting for two years in the Atlanta and D.C. area. In addition, I have one full year's worth of experience being an after school teacher for kindergartners and first graders at East Valley Elementary school in Marietta, Georgia. At that job, myself along with a co teacher were responsible for upwards of 20 students each day and in a school environment, that was quite manageable, and I know it'd be an even more enjoyable experience if I had more attention to give to fewer children. I also have college experience part time babysitting with multiple families, three of them who I worked with on a consistent basis. I have lots of energy to give when it comes to caring for children and I can find creative ways to keep them engaged and entertained. Working with children is rewarding for me because I remember how much the adults, beyond my parents helped create wonderful memories during my childhood. I hope to provide that same positive impact for others. I used to own a dog for many years and I am comfortable babysitting in pet households so I also have experience with pet care.

Hi! I’m Cate. I’ve been babysitting since 2018, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’ve worked at a summer camp for 4-6 year olds since 2021, and in 2022 I became an Assistant Director there. Spending my summers helping little kids learn, play, and feel confident has been one of my favorite experiences! I’m also a huge animal person! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience with dog sitting and dog walking. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup or giving extra love to a calmer older dog, I’m comfortable with all types. I’m friendly, responsible, and easygoing, and I always try to create a safe, fun, and positive environment — whether I’m caring for kids or pets. I’d love to help your family however I can!
