Paige C.
- 15 years paid experience

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.

We had Ayling come watch our two boys (1 and 7). She brought over an activity bag and was fun and engaging. Her communication with us was excellent the whole time and we had a wonderful evening out without having to worry. Would highly recommend!

Ms. Candice is a sweetheart! She is responsive, understanding, punctual, and respectful of the home. She assisted my little one with her homework, played with her, straightened up the play area, and did the night time routine. I appreciate her and will continue using her as a sitter.

Hi my name is Dominique. I am a graduate of Penn's Graduate School of Education, with a Master's degree in Early Elementary Education. I currently am I teacher in the Philadelphia area so my availability is limited. Please reference my calendar. I have all my clearances. I have been CPR trained. I worked in my mother's daycare for five years. I have worked as an instructor at a summer program and have lots of teaching, so I am comfortable with larger groups of children and I am able to connect with each individual child. I am comfortable and experienced working with children of all ages but my preference is to work with children 13 and under.

Dominique was on time, reliable, and did an excellent job watching our two kids (including our very emotional 4-year-old) while we were at a nearby wedding. We would definitely work with her again if ever back in the area!

I am a mother of two teenage boys, so have been parenting for about 15 years. Prior to becoming a mother, I was a nanny for many years while in college and graduate school and a babysitter while in middle and high school. I have CPR and 1St Aid Certifications and am highly experienced with dealing with any issues that may arise while caring for infants, young children, tweens and teens. I love supporting kids to play and learn from experiences (games, crafts, sports) but am also ready to support homework and school assignments. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and happy to feed them or take them for walks. I take family rules seriously and will work with the children to make sure that tasks and chores are completed when required.

My kids loved Jennifer and ask for her to come back often! She not only was wonderful with the children, playing games througout the day, taking them on field trips and reading them stories. She also organized the kids bedroom without being asked! If I could give 10 stars I would!

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.

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.
