Hello families! My name is Claire Guthrie. I am currently living in Idaho, but will be moving to D.C. in June for school. I am going to school for early childhood development, I will be doing classes online and will be attending part time. I am looking for an amazing family to work for as a nanny. I have about 1 1/2 years of experience at a daycare. I worked mostly with toddlers and infants but got a ton of experience with school age children as well. I currently work as a nanny for 18 month old twin boys. I’ve been working with them for 14 months, and enjoyed every moment of it. It breaks my heart to leave, but I need to further my career and get an education. I need to work full time to keep up with living expenses and ask for at least $25 an hour considering I am living by myself, and going to school as well. I am also open to date nights and other babysitting jobs as well! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Thanks, Claire
I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys being around children. I’m a Certified medical assistant and CPR certified. I have experience working in childcare, completed coursework in Early Childhood Education, and grew up helping care for my younger siblings. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for kids, and I’m also a big animal lover!
I am a teacher with high school and middle school experience. I also work with 5-12 year olds as a summer camp counselor, and have worked in the past at a camp for individuals of all ages with disabilities. I am calm and very adaptable, and am excited to help out!
Hey! My name is Vince, I am 19 years old and I am currently in flight school and pursuing a degree in Social Work as well. I am originally from Prescott, Arizona and I moved out to Washington for school. I love to cook and I have a passion for working on cars. I have been babysitting for about 2 years, and I have volunteered at several youth summer camps. I have a dog and a cat at home so pet care is nothing new to me! I am always open to helping out, whether it be hands-on jobs around the house, or running errands!
I'm a warm, dependable caregiver with 20+ years of experience from infants through adolescents, and a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health. I'm also CPR certified for children and adults through the American Red Cross, recently renewed. I believe great childcare starts with getting to know each child and respecting the way each family does things. I like to learn your routines and expectations so I can provide care that feels comfortable and consistent. During our time together, I keep things safe, calm, and fun-whether that means helping with homework, playing a game, getting outside, preparing a meal, or settling into bedtime. I've also worked as a teacher, tutor, and mentor, and I love helping children feel confident, curious, and capable. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to meet kids where they are, and I want parents to feel confident that their children are in caring, capable, and trustworthy hands. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

"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!"
Catherine B., parent
