Takara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, families! My name is Takara (‘Tuh-care-ruh’), and I'm a caring, responsible, and enthusiastic person who genuinely loves spending time with children and animals. I have several years of hands-on childcare experience, including helping raise my two young nephews from birth and serving as a student aide in a second-grade classroom for two years. I also spent approximately six years volunteering at a children's museum throughout my adolescence, where I had the opportunity to engage with children of different ages and backgrounds. Working with children has always brought me so much joy, and I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I'm also an animal lover and proud cat parent! In addition to caring for my own cat, I regularly walk and pet-sit my best friend's Yorkie, so I'm comfortable with the responsibilities and attention that come with caring for pets. Whether I'm looking after your little ones or your furry family members, I strive to provide the same love, patience, attentiveness, and care that I would give my own family. I'd love the opportunity to become someone your family can depend on and trust!

Flaminia $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced, energetic and responsible young adult woman. I love kids and have experience both in house babysitting 2 young girls over 5 years, as well as working in a performance training facility with the youth group of ages 3-15 years old. I have loved teaching young girls and boys to move their bodies safely & efficiently and know how to keep them busy. I’ve worked with both disabled, hyperactive, and the overly shy kids. I believe my experience leading large groups (10+ kids) of youth can make me a unique babysitter. Currently, I am a full time personal trainer based in DC and a holistic nutrition & health coach for my own wellness brand.. and I just miss working with kids!! Looking for a part time/ occasional gig to fill in my free time and flexible schedule (I’m also new to the area, so happy to see different neighborhoods and meet nice families!)

Shadeana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Shadeana ! I’m studying Early Childhood Education at the University of the District of Columbia. I’ve worked as an assistant teacher in daycare settings in DC and Maryland, and I also have experience working with school-age children in an after-school program. I’ve completed CPR, First Aid, and Basic Health and Safety training. I’m patient with kids who need a little time to warm up, and I like getting to know what each child enjoys. I’m happy to read together, play games, do crafts, or help with homework. I’ll follow your family’s routines and keep you updated on how things are going while you’re away.

Tinbit $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Tinbit, and I’m currently offering babysitting and childcare services in the area 🤍 I have over 3 years of experience working as a special needs caregiver in Ethiopia, where I provided dedicated, patient, and personalized care to children. This experience has shaped me to be extremely attentive, understanding, and compassionate in how I care for every child. I also currently serve as a Sunday school teacher (8 months - Present), where I guide and care for children in a structured and supportive environment. In addition, I’ve worked in fast-paced settings assisting with large events, which strengthened my responsibility and organization. I grew up in a large family and attended an international school, so I’m very comfortable with children from all backgrounds and personalities. I truly love being around kids, their honesty, joy, and the way they find happiness in the smallest things is something I deeply value. I’m nurturing, uplifting, and also firm when needed, creating a balanced and positive environment. I strongly believe that childhood is one of the most important stages of life, and I aim to be a trustworthy and positive presence in every child’s life. I am reliable, patient, and committed to making both children and parents feel safe and supported. If you’re looking for a babysitter or nanny, feel free to message me—I would love to connect! 🤍
