Veronika $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Veronika, a dedicated 37-year-old mother of two outstanding high school students. I’m excited to offer my child care and household services to families looking for reliable support. With over ten years of experience in daycare, where I worked with children from three months to five years old, as well as serving as a nanny for various age groups, I deeply understand how to create a safe and nurturing environment for kids. I enjoy engaging children in arts and crafts, taking walks, and exploring outdoor activities. Safety is my highest priority, and I am committed to caring for your child as if they were my own. I believe in the power of respect and open communication, and I strive to make your family feel comfortable and confident in my care. Additionally, I’m more than willing to assist with household tasks and will gladly follow the rules of your home. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to working with you!

Aurelia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! my name is Aurelia, I'm currently a student at Cambridge University and have lived abroad in both England and Germany for the past three years, but I was raised in Bethesda, Maryland, where I also completed high school—so I'm very familiar with the area! I have my own transportation, a clean record, and a strong background working with children. I spent 3 years coaching kids with autism on my weekends through the ACEing Autism tennis program and served as an assistant teacher, tutoring children with learning disabilities during my junior and senior years of high school. I've babysat on and off throughout my life, caring for children ages 3 to 10. I'm reliable, experienced, and passionate about creating a safe, fun environment for kids!

Leila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Leila, I'm from Argentina, I'm 29 years old and I'm a kindergarten teacher! I have seven years of experience taking care of kids (five years in Argentina and two years in the United States) mostly infants and toddlers. I consider myself a responsible, patient, respectful and tidy person. Also I have some references from a couple of families and from my church's leader (I was a volunteer every Sunday at my church, I was in babies room, taking care of them while their parents attend the service) As for my childcare skills, it's very important to me that the child feels safe and secure in an organized environment. I also believe in providing a daily routine, as this is crucial for young children. I hope to hear from you soon☺️
