Ava $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Ava. I am in my early full time career following graduating college in 2024. Growing up as the oldest kid on my street by about 10 years & my mom being a full time nanny, I have plenty of experience working with children of all ages and behaviors. I have long been the go-to for my community in Northern Virginia, and I’m excited to spend my free time doing the same in the DC area. Aside from babysitting, I’ve spent 4 summers as a full time nanny to two different families with children ranging from 3 to 11. Before I kicked off my full time marketing career, I worked in marketing for a summer camp in DC, where I quickly became many parent’s point of contact and go-to when children needed additional support. I make a conscious effort to lead my childcare approach with empathy & patience and it is something I have so much fun doing. Looking forward to supporting parents in the DC community!
Ella $20 per hour for 1 child

Booked by 1 family in Merrifield, VA
Hi my name is Qwan I’m 28 and a DC native. In my free time I enjoy reading and writing, cooking, and playing video games. I look forward to our future partnership! I have experience working with kids through my time spent as a summer camp counselor. Responsibilities included tutoring, supervision during activities, entertainment, and emotional support. I throughly enjoy cooking and can clean and drive to and from appointments as needed. I have some experience pet sitting for dogs both old and young and I enjoyed every minute of it. I am open to sitting for cats as well.

"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!"
