Halli R. | Experienced & Dependable Sitter Hi! Iβm Halli, a Howard University graduate and young professional working in fintech here in the city. Iβm a warm, responsible, and dependable, CPR Certified caregiver with several years of babysitting experience with children of different ages.I began babysitting in high school for a family with a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old and continued caring for their children for three years. That experience gave me hands-on experience caring for young children and managing the needs and routines of two children at different developmental stages.I also babysat for a 12-year-old girl for several years and have lots of additional childcare experience caring for younger family members, including twin cousins.I enjoy creating a comfortable and fun environment for kids, whether weβre playing games, reading, doing creative activities, working on homework, or winding down for bedtime. Iβm also comfortable with meals, evening routines, and keeping children engaged while their parents are away.As a working professional, I understand the importance of being dependable, communicative, punctual, and respectful of each familyβs routines and expectations. Iβm especially interested in evening, weekend, date-night, and occasional babysitting opportunities in Manhattan and surrounding neighborhoods in the city. Iβd love to connect with families looking for a trustworthy sitter they can feel comfortable calling again and again!

In addition to that, Iβve completed internships working directly with children and have professional experience working at a daycare. These experiences have strengthened my skills in creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children while understanding their individual needs.

Hi! My name is Ananiya (Nani), and I'm currently a law student looking for work that I both enjoy and can fit with my schedule. I've been working with kids for as long as I can remember, I can truthfully say that I love it! My experience began at home, where I was often responsible for babysitting by nieces and nephews. I now have twelve neices and three nephews, and my responsibility to them hasn't changed. I began working in daycares as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher in 2022, and led classes of children from three months to eight years old. In 2024, I began working with high school students as a Career and College Counselor. When I began law school, a lot of my formal work with children stopped, but I would love to start again! I'm super active and love going outside to play. I'm good with homework help. And I'm super patient!

Iβm Maya, Iβm currently a college student on a pre law track and I have been babysitting for many years. It first started off from watching my baby cousin and progressed into working for close family friends and jobs here in DC. My most previous job was with an infant who I got to watch for 7 months and build an amazing connection with him and his family. I also worked with two brothers in the spring who needed to be picked up from school and taken home for dinner and playtime. I loved hanging out with the kids and getting to know them and their families. I love pets and wonβt mind taking care of them as well as the children. I love to cook especially for other people and donβt mind cleaning during down time or when the kids are occupied. I look forward to meeting your family and building amazing memories
