Hello! I’ve been providing childcare for a range of ages in the District for over 15 years. I am a social worker, artist, and love to be outside. I am high energy and find hanging out with children and entertaining them to be so much fun! I am very comfortable with animals as well, I love dogs! Currently I have some families I provide dog sitting for in their homes when they go on trips. I volunteer at an animal sanctuary farms and rescue shelters, comfortable with all types of animals. I use this app to connect with families to build good working relationships, and many families I currently work with have worked with me for many years. Unfortunately I cannot offer full time child care, but I am a great option for date nights or weekends.
I am fully-vaccinated and ready to babysit! Hi! My name is Annie and I am 28 years old. I have been babysitting since I was 20 while in college for multiple families. I was also a camp counselor summers in high school and one summer in college. I am currently a pre-k teacher. I absolutely love kids and will go above and beyond for families. I also frequently babysit for the same families I did in college evenings and weekends!
Hi! It’s Sara. I am 28 years old. I have been working with children for five years. I started as an au pair, now I am babysitter and nanny. I have been taking care of babies, toddlers, kids and teenagers. I am very kind, patient and warm with them. I feel comfortable driving and spending time with pets. I am fluent in English and Spanish. One of my passion is baking, also I enjoy cooking.
I love kids and wish I had more time to spend with them. I have extensive babysitting experience which includes substituting at Head Start (pre-K), regularly watching older toddlers (4-5 yrs.), and most recently taking care of a one-year-old. When babysitting I like playtime and educational and fun activities. I often would bake and do arts and crafts with the older toddlers. I try to limit screen time as much as possible. With the one-year-old I would do activities to promote development and make the little guy laugh! I look forward to hearing from you.
“Temeka’s attention to details and love for kids makes her a dependable and repeatable hire for busy families! Thank you!”
Hi! My name is Zoleiry, or Zol, and I have 15 years of experience caring for infants and children, including working at children’s museums and summer camps. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English and am currently learning ASL. With my extensive experience and CPR/first aid certification, I’d love the opportunity to be your family’s next babysitter! I work full-time as a Hill staffer for an Illinois Member and have been living in DC since 2017. I babysit and provide pet care on the side to help pay down my student loans while doing work I genuinely enjoy. In my free time, I love spending time with friends, knitting, and walking dogs. I’m passionate about animals, education policy, and child development research. Looking forward to connecting with you and your little ones!
