I am a career nanny living in Washington DC. I have over 15 years of childcare experience with kids of all ages (including infants), needs, and multiples. I have lots of down time in the summer months and looking to fill my time with part-time sitting gigs. I love being creative and laughing with kids. Some of my hobbies include cooking, baking, playing musical instruments, dancing, playing sports, traveling, and reading. I’ve been playing the violin since the age of 5 and dancing for nearly as many years. I have a B.S. in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Clemson University. I can help with meal prep, homework (any grade), and light housekeeping as well. I am CPR certified, a strong swimmer, and have intermediate knowledge of American Sign Language and French. I have lots of last minute and daytime availability!

Sydney helped our family with babysitting our 3 year old son. She arrive promptly and immediately garnered our, and our son’s, trust and he had a great time with her. We would recommend Sydney and will look to use her again.

I am a 33 year old Early Childhood Major, who graduated from Georg Mason University with both my bachelors and masters in Education, and have a license to teach Pre-Kindergarten through Third Grade. I have received my Career Studies Certificate and my Infant and Toddler Certificate as well back in my days at NVCC. Back during my summers in high school I volunteered at the Thurgood Marshall Child Development Center in DC. I did over 500 hours there working in the toddler room, and occaisionally the Pre-K room. For a brief period during my college studies I also worked at the Cody Child Development Center on Fort Myer in the infant, toddler, and pre-k rooms. I have also consistently had my training in CPR/First Aid. I have babysat in many home settings now and would love to work with a new family! I live near Fair Oaks and would prefer to work for a family in the area if possible but if not that’s ok too! I do have a car so driving is not an issue.

Hi! I’m Iyana 😊 I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University with over 5 years of experience caring for children ages 4 months to 12 years. I’ve worked with infants through elementary-aged kids and also spent a year and a half teaching 8th grade, including supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. I really enjoy babysitting because every child is different, and I love getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routines. I’m comfortable with transportation, sleep training/bedtime routines, and I’m very pet-friendly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are playing board games, karaoke, going on walks or hikes, and cooking together. I always aim to create a fun, safe, and relaxed environment for both kids and parents.

Hi there, my name is Paige and I am a recently-departed fed about to graduate from my evening law program. During this time of transition & bar prep, I am looking for casual gigs on weekends and evenings. I am also open to and have experience with overnight care. I have worked as an English tutor in Lithuania, South Africa, and the U.S., a YMCA camp counselor, and a Merit Badge Counselor for the Boy Scouts of America. I grew up volunteering in my hometown of PGH, PA, and honor that practice whenever possible at my favorite DC organizations: We are Family and N Street Village. As a creative and daughter of an elementary school teacher, I prioritize outdoor activities, virtual-free games and mindfulness when interacting with children. I live a very active lifestyle as a yoga teacher, avid cyclist and strength trainer. I love to read, write, and care for my suspiciously large houseplants. I am respectful of all religions, races, and orientations, though my views on cats as the superior housepet are extremely biased. I look forward to working with you and your family.

Anita was incredible and far exceeded our expectations. She had everything my wife and I were praying for in a nanny. She was caring, respectful, timely, kind, and more. Our son fell in love with her, as did we. Because of her, he developed a range of new skills, including new words. We recommend Anita to any family that needs a kind, genuine, punctual and respectful person caring for their little one.

Faith was a godsend for our family. She was reliable, professional, and in-tune with our daughter's needs. She was never late and was always flexible with us. We trusted her to care for our daughter the same way we would and she more than delivered on that. Faith took detailed notes of each day so we were always on the same page. Faith proved herself a superb caretaker, cultivating a wonderful relationship with our daughter. We are saddened we could not keep her longer, but we are moving away. Faith is an excellent choice for those in need of quality care.

Anastasia M.
Kennedy is wonderful. She is so communicative and responsive, and a really sweet and kind person. We have had her assist with our baby boy a couple times now and definitely recommend her! She is very attentive to him and he is perfectly happy snuggling up with her and hanging out. She is a natural with children and definitely someone you can rely on and trust with you kiddos. Very easy to work with and a lifesaver when it comes to childcare so far!

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.

Hello! My name is Cydnee, and I'm 20 years old. I'm currently a sophomore at Point Park University, where I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance with a concentration in Modern Dance. Dance has been a major part of my life for many years. Through my training, performances, choreography, and teaching experiences, I’ve developed strong leadership, communication, and mentoring skills. I love sharing my passion for dance with young people and helping them build confidence, discipline, and self-expression through movement. For the past several years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with children through both childcare and dance education. I volunteered at my local dance center for two years, helping young dancers begin their dance journeys while creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. Working with children is something I genuinely enjoy, and I find it incredibly rewarding to support their growth both inside and outside the studio. With over two years of childcare experience, I have cared for children ranging from infants to school-aged kids. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. My experience includes feeding, diaper changes, bedtime routines, homework assistance, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I also enjoy organizing creative activities, crafts, games, and movement-based activities that keep children active and engaged. I pride myself on being dependable, responsible, patient, and punctual. Families can count on me to provide attentive care while serving as a positive role model for their children. My background in dance has taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, teamwork, and creating meaningful connections with others. Outside of childcare, I enjoy dancing, choreographing, creating music, journaling, and spending time with family and friends. I am dedicated to continuing my growth as both an artist and a mentor. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide caring, reliable support for your children. I’m excited to bring my positive energy, creativity, and dedication into your home! For babysitting, nanny, or dance instruction services, please feel free to contact me at (202) 840-3276. I have a copy of my completed background check available upon request.
