My name is Yanae. I’m 26 years old and currently work as a preschool teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, where I’ve grown into roles such as mentor, staff leader, and Lead Teacher. I’m passionate about working with children and supporting the development of both students and fellow educators. I have my degree in psychology and I am CPR certified. I also have experience working with a variety of age groups, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. When I babysit, I focus on providing more one-on-one attention, engaging children in different activities and creating meaningful interactions throughout the time we spend together. In my free time, I enjoy nature walks and reading.
Hello-My name is Ernisha I bring 18 years of professional childcare experience working with children from infancy through high school. I am ABA certified and have extensive experience supporting children with autism. I’m dedicated, dependable, and skilled in creating structured, nurturing environments that support growth, learning, and positive behavior. My focus is always on safety, communication, and high-quality care tailored to each child’s needs.
Hi, my name is Kate! I have lived in Capitol Hill for the past four years, but I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri. I am offering child care, household services and can help with any pets. I love being a babysitter and have a lot of experience watching toddlers and kids from a young age, including my cousin, who was born when I was 13! I babysat him multiple times a week until I left for college (and after), as well as other kids in my neighborhood. My older sister and mom are both elementary school teachers (kindergarten and 1st grade!), so I also have a lot of fun experience helping out in their classrooms! I grew up with a dog and currently have 2 cats, so happy to also help out with pets where needed.
Hello! - My name is Jess and I'm a recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from Rochester Institute of Technology with a double major in American Sign Language Interpretation and Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies. I am offering nannying/babysitting services with included house care services as well as basic pet care. I love working with kids and have been babysitting/nannying for around seven years (since I was 15 years old). I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school age children. I have worked with a family with two children from age 18 months and 3 years old to now 7 and 9 years olds. My responsibilities included pick up/drop off from school/activities, tutoring/schooling, potty training, crafts, planning/organizing activities, managing schedules/play dates, meal prep, packing lunchboxes, light housekeeping, and swim instruction. I also worked at the YMCA as an 6 months - elementary age swim instructor as well as a lifeguard. I love arts & crafts will be sure to create lots with the children. Additionally, I love to bake and would be happy to make lots of fun (& healthy) goodies in the kitchen. I also will curate many indoor and outdoor activities to ensure lots of play time. (I love a good rainy day dance party!) Along with childcare, I also provide light housekeeping including picking up after the children, washing dishes, children’s laundry, and any other applicable household tasks. Due to my degree, I have fluency in ASL as well, so I am confident working with Deaf children and implementing ASL into care for hearing children. I am happy to work with families with pets as well as provide pet care for cats and small dogs. My services include feeding, walking, picking up after, enrichment, and play time. I am excited to meet you!
I am a 48 year old married individual who recently relocated to DC with my husband and dog! I am a patient advocate and speaker and I’m currently going back to school to get another degree — MPH in healthcare leadership. I love kids and have been around children of all ages my whole life. My husband have been like second parents to our godkids since before they were born. Because we were unable to have kids we have become the go to sitters for many friends and family members. As for the aging population — I am comfortable with them as well. My mom is 81 years old and I have travelled all over the world with her and help her in a variety of ways. I am also a great cook and a trained opera singer — fun facts! You can learn more about me at[removed] I am looking for some local jobs to help while I am working on my latest degree!

"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."
Lila P., parent

"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!"
