Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience working as a camp counselor, where I supervised children, planned activities, helped create a fun environment, and made sure everyone felt safe and included. I also spent a year babysitting children in my neighborhood, which helped me become comfortable caring for children, keeping them engaged, and being someone families can rely on. I am also CPR & AED certified.I love creating a positive and comfortable environment where kids can have fun while also feeling safe and cared for. I’m responsible, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure both the children and their families feel comfortable with me. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted babysitter for your family!

My name is Markiesha L, I was born and raised in Washington D.C. my entire life with my eight siblings. Being around so many siblings and helping to care for them sparked my interest in working in childcare. I graduated high school in 2018 and then went along to get my associate's degree in early childcare education from the school University of the District of Columbia. While obtaining my associate's I worked for many jobs to garner experience in the childcare field. Such as a before & aftercare teacher, an elementary school dedicated aid, a lead teacher in a childcare center, and a summer camp counselor. I am very energetic and creative. I love to do arts and crafts such as creating volcanoes, drawing, and playing Play-Doh. I also have experience in creating lesson plans,assisting with homework, and changing diapers. Having experience from these jobs will help me to be a great babysitter for all the families that want my services. I am looking forward to continuing my work with all the amazing families that I will get a chance to meet!

Hi! My name is Ava and I’m a senior at The George Washington University.

Hi, I'm Davin! I'm heading into my sophomore year at American University, and I'm home in Brooklyn for the summer, so I'm looking to pick up babysitting work while I'm around. I've been babysitting and nannying since 2019, working with kids from 7 months to 12 years old for families across New York City. Over the years I've built real relationships with the families I work with, sometimes as a date night sitter, sometimes as a full mother's helper, and I've even traveled with families on trips as an extra set of hands. I'm comfortable managing full daily routines (meals, activities, bedtime), helping with homework and academic support, and planning activities that are fun and age-appropriate. I'm CPR certified and fluent in Spanish. Outside of childcare, I've worked in retail and hospitality, so I'm organized, calm under pressure, and great with people. Besides that, I love babysitting β€” I'm great with children and genuinely enjoy being part of their day, whether that's building blanket forts, helping with homework, or just being a steady, familiar face they can count on. I'd love to help take something off your plate this summer and help in any way I can!
