Amani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Amani! I have gained experience working as a childcare provider on and off throughout the past five years, and I absolutely love it! I'm friendly and approachable, which helps me connect with children of all ages. My experience includes caring for children from infants to elementary school age. I believe in open communication with parents and regularly provide updates on their child's day. I use the preferred communication method of each family, whether it be text or phone calls. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules while following the parents' lead. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I am 24 years old, I have a college degree, and am comfortable with pets. I'm passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children to grow and learn. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your family!

Catherine Sampson $18 per hour for 1 child

As a driven educator with a Master's degree in Technical Communication and a Bachelor's in English Literature, I have over five years of tutoring experience specializing in creative writing, essay editing, and technical writing. Beyond tutoring, I have a diverse background in working with children and young learners: I spent several years as a part‑time ice skating instructor, served as a camp counselor at Camp Allen for two summers, worked at a church during Vacation Bible School and provided babysitting care for three families throughout high school. These experiences strengthened my ability to connect with students of different ages and cultures, foster patience and create supportive environments. My teaching philosophy centers on cultivating a collaborative and encouraging space where students feel empowered to express their ideas and improve their writing skills. I strive to connect with each learner by understanding their unique perspectives and goals, guiding them toward both academic success and personal growth. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy writing fiction and following current events. I am dedicated to helping students not only excel academically but also discover and refine their own voice through writing.

Silvia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Silvia and I am thrilled to be your family's new caregiver. I love working with infant, toddles and kids watching them grown up. I have been babysitting kids since I was 15 years old! I have three kids of my own that I love with all my heart and watching my youngest son going to school makes me realize that I miss taking care of some little feet 😊 I am very passionate about taking care of kids, patient, clean and organized.

Winy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is winy and I’m from Colombia. I’m a English and Spanish teacher recently graduated and I’m currently living in Alexandria offering child care, pet care and household services. I have previous experience as baby sitter, since I was 15 years old I’ve been watching infants, toddlers and even teenager’s. I’d love children and enjoy having time for games, make different activities and having fun. I’m patient, responsable and creative person. In addition I have work before as a teacher back in my country with groups of different ages in classroom and outside environments. So helping with Spanish lessons will be also include as part of my service. I’m pet lover so I can definitely work with family’s with dogs or cats. I can drive, cook or do other tasks.
