Hi there, my name is Amani! I have gained experience working as a childcare provider on and off throughout the past five years, and I absolutely love it! I'm friendly and approachable, which helps me connect with children of all ages. My experience includes caring for children from infants to elementary school age. I believe in open communication with parents and regularly provide updates on their child's day. I use the preferred communication method of each family, whether it be text or phone calls. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules while following the parents' lead. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I am 24 years old, I have a college degree, and am comfortable with pets. I'm passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children to grow and learn. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your family!
I am a goofy, smiley 26 year old who loves infants and children. I have 5 years of experience working with children and babysitting. I work as a CNA in Postpartum and Pediatrics. I am very comfortable caring for infants and young children (therefore very patient :)). I am also comfortable with pets, and am willing to help with small tasks around the house if asked!
Nurturing children's development is a true passion of mine, sparked by positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I have three years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. I hold a graduate degree and am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. My approach is patient and friendly. I always follow parents' preferred communication methods and am comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm happy to prepare meals and engage children with fun activities, including outdoor sports, board games, and even educational apps. I am also certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I speak Arabic and Spanish in addition to English. Ultimately, I want to make a positive impact on your children's lives. I look forward to hearing from you!
Every summer in high school I was a camp counselor for roughly six weeks, working with ages 4-10. I also frequently babysat during high school, usually ages 7-10. I am currently on my fourth season as a Girls on the Run coach for ages 8-10. I really enjoy spending time kids. I have always had a dog and typically take care of my dog when my parents are away. I am a responsible person and understand the effort required to take care of people (fur people include) and genuinely enjoy doing that!
Hi! I’m Kiley, a 31 year old professional who works on the Hill in operations. I am from Tucson, AZ and spent the majority of my high school and college years babysitting for a couple of the same families consistently and also house sitting. I enjoy yoga and riding horses in my free time. I have two bachelor degrees and a master’s degree from Texas A&M. I am looking for some occasional babysitting/nannying jobs and/or house sitting. Happy to chat more!

"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!"
