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!
Hi! I'm Lisa. I'm a dedicated, energetic, and personable mom of four who has been raising my family for the past 11 years - my children are 4, 6, 9 and 11. As the third oldest of eight, I have a lifetime of experience with babysitting, bonding with, and helping children. I don't shy away from household work, either! I am looking to get back into the workforce in a capacity that both suits my own schedule and allows me to highlight my strengths. In addition to my practical experience of being a mom and running a household, I have past experience in the professional workforce. Those jobs have included office manager, administrative assistant, file clerk, and similar positions. In each of my past jobs, there has been some element of at least some of these skills: organizing; maintaining and at times devising filing systems - both digital and traditional; maintaining calendars/schedules; training co-workers; writing manuals. Writing, proofreading, and editing are great strengths of mine and ones I enjoy utilizing. I have previously cared for others' children, as well as been a dogsitter and cat sitter. Understanding the demands of parenthood (and adulthood in general), I also understand the demands of family life. Need light housework, laundry, reorganizing/cleaning spaces, or other such tasks in your home or office? Lessening the weight of these loads will allow you and your family to function better. (I have a great interest in highlighting and growing my organizing talents!) Other qualifications that might be of help to you: *packing/unpacking before and after moves *switching out seasonal clothes *making donation lists/inputting into databases *organizing online files, folders, and photos *maintaining (and setting up if needed) filing systems for bills and other paperwork *helping elementary school-aged children with homework (possibly older kids too) *reading to children (and adults!) *planning and setting up for parties (and cleaning up afterward too!) I am personable, a fast learner, enthusiastic, sincere, and have a lot of experience interacting with people in various settings. Meeting families through this platform is an exciting prospect for me. I am open to other positions that I have not listed here and look forward to meeting you soon!
Hi! I’m Paige. As the youngest of five, I grew up surrounded by older siblings who shaped me into someone patient, adaptable, and easy to connect with. Being part of a big family made me naturally comfortable around children and helped me understand different personalities and family dynamics. I’ve also played a big role in raising my nephew since he was a baby (he’s 5 now). We have a very close bond, and caring for him taught me how to keep kids engaged, supported, and on a healthy routine. I’m thoughtful, communicative, and always make sure children feel safe, heard, and comfortable. Parents can expect consistent updates and clear communication from me. I can prepare meals, keep things organized, help with bedtime routines, and assist with homework. I’m also a mentor at my job, so guiding and supporting others especially kids comes naturally to me. I’m great with pets as well; I’ve had four dogs and I’m very comfortable around animals. I’m available evenings and weekends, and I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and someone families can trust.
Hello, I am Denise Edwards and I was a professional Nanny in the DMV area for more than 15 years. I am currently seeking part time employment as a Nanny/babysitter, elderly care companion. I am a punctual, funloving, caring, reliable, individual with extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I believe my background and dedication make me an excellent fit for any position and I hopefully there will be someone who will give me serious consideration. I love children, I love taking care of people and I look forward to hearing from you. Additionally I am free for overnights or full weekends if a parent need it. I am also a trained chef so one can be assured of proper meals for the children in my care, even if it is simple as Mac n cheese. I will even prepare a meal for you the parents. I love what I do and I do what I love is my mantra. Sincerely, Denise PS: I am looking forward to some positive responses. I won't disappoint.
Hello! I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with over 20 years of experience babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting for families in communities where I have lived. I genuinely love this work — it's been a constant in my life for two decades because I care about doing it well. I hold a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health, so I bring real knowledge of child development, health and safety along with my hands-on experience. I also have worked as a teacher, mentor, tutor, and coach — helping kids grow, learn, and build confidence is one of my favorite parts of this work. That same attentiveness and care carries over beautifully to elder companion care — I enjoy providing patient, attentive companionship and support. I am recently CPR certified for both children and adults through the American Red Cross, so you can feel at ease knowing I'm prepared for the unexpected. Whether it's watching and mentoring your kids, keeping your home safe while you're away, caring for your pets, or even your plants (thanks to some recent greenhouse experience!), I treat every responsibility like it's my own. I'd love to help your family feel supported and cared for.
“Sara is wonderful!!! We hired her to watch our almost 2-year-old daughter for the week her daycare was closed and have since had her return several times. She is incredibly reliable, flexible, warm, proactive, fully attentive, and engaged. Our daughter loves her!! We are so grateful to have met Sara and can’t wait to have her back. ”

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
