Ella $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Ella and I am currently a freshman on the pre-med track at Georgetown University. I am offering childcare and light housekeeping services. I’ve worked as a babysitter on and off for about a year now back home in Los Angeles, but am looking for a more long term part time job. I have the most experience with kids aged 3-11, however, would love the opportunity to work with any age group! I typically play outdoors with kids, read to them, help with homework, or take them to the park. I also love dogs and am comfortable around them. I do not have a car. I can also work as a household assistant as needed with cleaning and tidying up.

Raya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Raya, and I recently moved from Beirut, Lebanon, to Washington, DC, to pursue my undergraduate studies at Georgetown University, where I’m a first-year student. Growing up in a big family, I’ve had extensive experience babysitting children of all ages. I can also prepare healthy meals for your kids since I worked at a “healthy living” restaurant for 2 summers! I am trilingual, speaking English, French, and Arabic fluently, which allows me to communicate with a diverse range of families. I’m also in training to become an EMT, learning to respond to emergency medical situations such as choking, allergic reactions, and more, so safety is always a priority for me. I would love to bring my energy, responsibility, and care to your family!

Nakoryia $27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hi! I’m an Atlanta native with lots of experience caring for kids and pets. I’ve babysat for teachers, my nephew, and other families, and I recently worked as a teaching fellow for middle school students. I love getting to know kids, helping them learn, and keeping them engaged. I’ve also worked as a summer camp counselor for multiple summers, including travel-based programs, which strengthened my ability to adapt to new environments and manage group dynamics. In addition, I’ve served as a peer mentor for three years, supporting younger students through guidance and encouragement. These experiences have deepened my understanding of children’s needs and how to support them with patience, structure, and attentiveness. I’m patient, observant, and good at matching kids energy, whether they’re super active or a little shy. I also volunteered at a Dementia Care Center, where I used art to connect with older adults, so creativity is a big part of who I am. My cultural awareness is another aspect of my personality. I enjoy arts and crafts, staying active, and practicing my Spanish (I’m an intermediate speaker). I also grew up with a Pomeranian-Papillon mix for over 10 years, so I’m totally comfortable around friendly pets! Finally, I am more than willing run errands, though I don't have a car, do light cleaning, light cooking, and light laundry.

Booked by 1 family in Washington Navy Yard, DC

Hi! My name is Grace and I'm a student at American University. I'm from Arizona and have been babysitting for 5+ years. I love taking care of kids and making your day a little easier! Along with childcare, I am more than happy to care for all kinds of animals and seniors. Some of my responsibilities include tutoring, household cleanup, cooking, arts and crafts, and sleep routines. I do not have a car but I do have a current drivers license. I look forward to working with you and getting to know your kids!

Claire $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Claire Guthrie. I am currently living in Idaho, but will be moving to D.C. in June for school. I am going to school for early childhood development, I will be doing classes online and will be attending part time. I am looking for an amazing family to work for as a nanny. I have about 1 1/2 years of experience at a daycare. I worked mostly with toddlers and infants but got a ton of experience with school age children as well. I currently work as a nanny for 18 month old twin boys. I’ve been working with them for 14 months, and enjoyed every moment of it. It breaks my heart to leave, but I need to further my career and get an education. I need to work full time to keep up with living expenses and ask for at least $25 an hour considering I am living by myself, and going to school as well. I am also open to date nights and other babysitting jobs as well! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Thanks, Claire
