Emma $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma, and I'm finishing my first year at NOVA. I offer childcare mainly, as well as pet care and errand assistance when needed. I spent a year as a full-time teacher’s aide in a 2–3 year old classroom, and I've been babysitting/tutoring elementary and middle school children since I was 16. I’m especially looking to earn more experience with infants (3 months–2 years). I love babies and have cared for infants in the past, but I’m hoping to build more consistent, hands-on experience. I enjoy keeping kids engaged—whether it’s short outdoor play, art, dancing, or building activities. I’ve worked with tantrum-prone toddlers and know how to stay calm, patient, and professional. I aim to create a fun, safe space where kids feel seen and supported. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Maeve $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! My name is Maeve, and I am a first-year law student in DC. Prior to law school, I worked as an English teacher and have always enjoyed spending time with kids. I’ve taught at the high school level and regularly volunteered with middle and lower school students. I have experience caring for children of various ages. Throughout college, I babysat regularly for a family with a 1-year-old, a 5-year-old, and a dog. I am available Friday through Sunday evenings, with additional flexibility depending on my class schedule. I would love to find a family to assist on a regular basis—whether for weekend date nights, occasional coverage while you work or evening help. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive. In my free time, I enjoy checking out estate sales, testing new recipes and running. I am also able to provide references upon request.

Mari 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Dunn Loring, VA

Hello! My name is Mari and I am graduating from American University this May. I am 22 years old and am originally from York, PA but live full-time in D.C. I currently work for an environmental non-profit as an intern, and am looking for summer opportunities with families here in the DMV. I have an extensive history of service-oriented positions. I formally used a nannying app called QuadJobs in which I booked and have working relationships with multiple families (unfortunately the app has since shut down). I am the oldest sister in my household as well as having an older brother, so I am aware of sibling relationships and responsibility. I am diligent and committed, having worked for Starbucks for 3 years while being a full-time student with multiple other jobs and commitments. I also am an equestrian-- I have extensive history with horses and other animals, making me very capable of caring for any sort of family pet! I have my own car here, meaning I am flexible with travel as well as quick with transportation needs. After my graduation in May, I plan on staying within the District to apply to jobs in the environmental sector before attending graduate school after a year or so. Happy to meet you!

“Mari was punctual, professional, conscientious, and our girls loved her. We can't wait to have her back!”

Booked by 1 family in Dunn Loring, VA

Hi families! My name is Mycala, and I am a passionate childcare provider with experience in early childhood education and working as a full-time nanny. I have cared for children of various ages and love creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and encouraged to explore. I enjoy planning hands-on activities like art, music, reading, and creative play while following each child’s interests and developmental needs. I believe children communicate and learn in many different ways, and I love being a caregiver who helps them feel confident, curious, and valued. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, with experience supporting daily routines, activities, meals, and the unique needs of each family. I would love the opportunity to provide your child with a caring and fun experience!
