Hello, my name is Rudyana, and I currently offer childcare, senior care, and homemaking services. I love being a nanny and have cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, and children since I was 15. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs, crafts, and more. I also work as a homemaker and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have cared for my own grandparents and am comfortable caring for seniors. I can cook, drive to appointments, or perform other tasks.
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!
