Margaret $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Margo. I come from a large family and have been surrounded by children my entire life. I was raised helping care for my younger sibling and cousins, and I am now a very involved aunt to 14 nieces and nephews whom I am extremely close to. Caring for children has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I have experience babysitting infants through 10-year-olds, including children with special needs, who I have a particular heart for. I am warm, fun, personable, and highly adaptable. I do well with different family dynamics and parenting styles, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I love cooking, baking, and am able to drive kids around, house or pet sit. I take my role as a caretaker seriously and truly enjoy building meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

Stavroula $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Stavroula (Lula for short!). I recently graduated from George Washington University and will be starting my master’s program this fall. I’ve always loved working with children and have years of hands-on experience caring for my two younger twin brothers while growing up, as well as babysitting many of their friends. I’m patient, dependable, and energetic, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, reading stories, or just finding creative ways to stay entertained, I love keeping children engaged. I’m also happy to prepare simple meals, help with light housekeeping related to the kids, and assist with bedtime routines when needed. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I take pride in being responsible, reliable, and attentive. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing the best care possible!

Serena $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Serena and I'm currently sophomore at George Mason University. I am offering child care and pet care. I enjoy being a helping hand to others thanks to the many parents in my family that needed assistance whether that be with their children or watching over their household. Thanks to this, I have experience with infants, toddlers, and kids. I am capable of driving to and from activities and cooking meals. Also (being a pet owner myself), I have experience taking care of dogs of various breeds. I have a high comfort level with dogs that shed and dogs that are on the larger side.

I love children and animals. I have a dog and I love taking care of other people’s dogs and cats. I treat other people’s pets as my own. Same goes for children! I’m happy to babysit for an occasional date night or come pet sit for you while you are away!
