Hi! My name is Meera! I am an RN in DC and have been babysitting for over 6 years. I was a nanny for two summers for two kids and have babysat for ages 1 month - 10 years old. I am also happy to help with any pet care needed and light housekeeping. I am CPR/First Aid certified.
Hi there! I’m Yanis, a Cornell grad and current Georgetown Law student offering child care and household help. I’m the oldest of 12 cousins, so babysitting has been part of my life since childhood, and I’ve been babysitting for friends and family ever since. I’ve also tutored pre-K through high schoolers and taught Sunday school, always mixing in creative approaches like drawing, board games on Greek mythology, and pillow-fort adventures. I’m tidy, comfortable cooking and prepping snacks and meals, happy to accommodate dietary preferences, and totally comfortable with cats and dogs too!
Hey! My name is Vince, I am 19 years old and I am currently in flight school and pursuing a degree in Social Work as well. I am originally from Prescott, Arizona and I moved out to Washington for school. I love to cook and I have a passion for working on cars. I have been babysitting for about 2 years, and I have volunteered at several youth summer camps. I have a dog and a cat at home so pet care is nothing new to me! I am always open to helping out, whether it be hands-on jobs around the house, or running errands!
Hi! My name is Ada and I'm a junior at the University of Virginia. I am offering childcare and household services. I have helped take care of my two younger brothers and four younger cousins since they were born. I love babysitting and I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (in addition to those I'm related to!) since I was about 13. I enjoy doing arts and crafts with children and playing games (both indoor and outdoor). I have had several jobs tutoring children in reading, writing, math, and French, through Philly Reading Coaches, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, and Teach for America. I'm happy to do any tutoring or homework help. Additionally, in high school, I worked at a summer camp for numerous years and I have experience teaching kids theater, dance, and various sports. In terms of household services, I am incredibly organized and I would be happy to help with organization, cleaning, cooking simple meals, laundry, and any other general tidying up. Thanks so much!
