Ada $19 per hour for 1 child

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!

Achal $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I am currently a working professional in the DMV area, but grew up in DFW. I have a degree in international business, and have worked with people from all backgrounds. I would babysit occasionally in high school and college over the years in between and after classes, but am hoping to connect with families when they are in need of someone to help out! I also love to cook and read, so if you are looking for someone to help out with dinners or reading to kids, please reach out! Thanks!

zelal 3 reviews
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Zelal, and I’m so excited to share a little bit about myself. 🌟 I have 4+ years of childcare experience and truly love what I do. When I first came to the U.S., I worked as an au pair caring for 4 amazing kids (ages 7, 5, 3, and 2). Since then, I’ve been working as a live-out nanny and currently look after three sweet babies 💛 I enjoy spending time with children of all ages—whether that’s playing outside , doing arts & crafts , reading stories , or creating fun little learning activities. My goal is always to make sure kids feel safe, happy, and loved, while also keeping things fun and engaging. 🏡 Along with childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks like cooking 🍳, tidying up 🧹, organizing , or errands to make life easier for busy parents. I’m also a big animal lover (especially dogs 🐕), so if you have pets, I’ll be more than happy to care for them too! 🌟 Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, caring, and reliable. I always bring a positive attitude and treat each child as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your family and be a supportive, trustworthy part of your team 💕

“Zelal is a trustworthy and accountable sitter. We’ve worked with her for over a year for regular date nights and one off coverage needs. She’s knowledgeable and kind, and my 3 year old always says she has fun. Zelal is engaged and very willing to take my daughter to the park, on walks, or suggest home based activities. Highly recommend!”

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!
